Hey I noticed you can think
the way Lil' Wayne can't
I noticed you can speak the truth
better than Eminem can rant
about his mama & Hailey & Kim
I noticed you don't talk s***
& a lot of people may not even
notice it, but I did.
& I know you got your own s***
at home everyday and school
I know you smoke and swear and fight,
and in their eyes, you seem cool.
But jail is a place for murderers
perverts and robbers.
not you, so stop acting like
there's no need to bother
to try to succeed
I love you like my brother
I'm here for you when you're in need.
So listen to me when I say
I can see you going to college
believe me when I say that you can
please just acknowledge that
I want you to get out alive.
become the boy that made it,
even though no one believed he'd survive.
