Your Rhymes helped me get through life.

Well not just you dog,

Your friends, peers, and can't forget your wife.

To be honest, lately I've been blaming you for my weaknesses and mistakes,

I guess it's easier, when one ain't man enough to face,

The causes of one's own demise,

The greed, the ego, selfishness, and lies.

So nigga, this is a public apology,

Not that you would even care getting one from me.

My struggles made me drift away from music for a while,

Just saw you had a book release and expo,

And envious cats are running wild.

Don't know if you gave props to Basquiat,

Knowing you, you probably did,

Is the painting still with you,

Or did you end up flipping that?

Now homes, you know I've been shadow banned,

My own doing, spending time locked up in the can.

But don't make me go public again, and start blasting….

Good ol' me realized a few months ago, all ya cats were laughing….

At least ya'll know I really have your back,

And I know you have mine,

How fucking crazy is that….

Do you wanna know the truth?

The whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God?

Back in the early 2000's, I dreamt of sharing a booth wit you, well,

A few others, and of course The Dog.

But I also dreamt of producing one of your shows,

Almost did, but ended up getting played like a Hoe.

Seriously though, I even got the Ryder with the request for the Red T.P.

Oh… that wasn't your Ryder, but I know you know, let's just keep it between you and me.

So this is my freestyle I'm sending you,

Didn't need a play book, fuck it didn't need a beat, didn't need a chord, didn't need a hook.

I guess all I needed was my heart….

And a couple of fags, to help me see,

That I'll never know if I can achieve a dream, of I don't have the balls to start…

Oh one last thing nigga… I hope you don't think I did ya wrong,

But a few weeks ago, I sang to the angels, and decided to cover your song…

Now what's this crazy shit I've seen lately about you and Kells having beef…

C'mon Dawg, ya'll both were tight,

Can you squash it please?

And we need ya both running the streets.

'cause seriously though,

Since you believe in the power of Hov,

You well know,

That freedom shouldn't be taken from man,

Plus, do it for X, do it for A,

Cause for us, that been admiring you, since back in the day….

Well, what more can I say ..

All you homies were fam.

So thank you, ma man, for saving my life…

It came from the heart, so no, I ain't no Stan.
