(I been working all day)
(Spending all my time)
(I just wanna know)
(Can I change your mind?)
(I been working all day)
(Spending all my time)
(I just wanna go…)
(Can I change your mind?)
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Yeah?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Listen!
Feel like Pac on the corner, screamin’ “keep ya head up,”
But the weight I’m carryin’, feel too heavy to get up.
Drownin’ in the shadows, tryna be more than the hype,
Neo in the Matrix, see the codes every night.
What’s the cost of chasin’ dreams? I’m hearin’ Joker laugh,
Feel like I’m Heath in that mask, puttin’ my peace in my craft.
Scribble letters to you, Marilyn,
In cursive set it down on paper like it’s fate
But truth is, fame’s a mirage,
and I’m tryna navigate.
I ain’t there yet,
but I know I’m on my way,
When I get the pay,
I’ll make the money pave the way.
And When I get the pay,
I’ll make the music, dance; sway
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Yeah?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Listen!
Feel like Pac on the corner, screamin’ “keep ya head up,”
But the weight I’m carryin’, feel too heavy to get up.
Drownin’ in the shadows, tryna be more than the hype,
Neo in the Matrix, see the codes every night.
Wrote this to you, Marilyn
like a letter to Self,
Tryna reconcile my ghost,
and place it back on in my shell.
All the smoke and mirrors, like a Marvel end scene—
Life’s an illusion, but still, we chase the dream
Feel like tony in his mansion, got the world on my wrist
But when the credits roll, I wonder what I missed
Feel like tony in his mansion, got the world on my wrist
But when the credits roll, I'm wondering what I missed
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Yeah?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Listen!
Feel like Pac on the corner, screamin’ “keep ya head up,”
But the weight I’m carryin’, feel too heavy to get up.
Drownin’ in the shadows, tryna be more than the hype,
Neo in the Matrix, see the codes every night.
So,
These letters we never quite send,
Battles fought in silence,
Stories that never end
Just,
me and you, Marilyn
in this late-night confidence,
confidence…
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Dear Marilyn
Can I be candid?
Yeah?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Dear Marilyn,
Do you hear me?
Yeah…
(I been working all day)
(Spending all my time)
(I just wanna know)
(Can I change your mind?)
(I been working all day)
(Spending all my time)
(I just wanna go…)
(Can I change your mind?)
