Apollo Brown, Locksmith - Advice to My Younger Self lyrics

Yo ey yo lil' man
Yeah you man I'm talkin' to you
Come over here man let me holler
At you for a second
Yo, yo put the ball down man some real shit
Listen

What's up little fella? I know
You're happy and feeling hopeful
I know you play with a sense of
Love and your heart is noble
I know you vocally haven't learned to express
Whatever repressed trauma
You're still young you're feeling less
And unless you talk about it
It follows you like a cloud
Or some heavy baggage you have
To drag through a crowd
But for now it's just a drop in the well
You shake it off
Never speak it again 'til your
Career is taking off
But we often overlook what we
Look upon in a rearview
You never touch a drug cause your
Parents won't let it near you
You dabble with addiction of money
Women and stardom
But the camera lens could be a narcotic
Don't try to bargain
If you bought her with a sense of morality
More tragedy but falls the foundation
I hope you find you some patience
I hope you don't put your faith in man
It never helps even trust could be a vice
Some advice to my younger self

Some advice to my younger self
Just advice to my younger self
Some advice to my younger self
Even trust could be a vice, some advice

And I tell you, never play it safe and
Never settle for second
Never hesitate, not even just for a second
Never second guess
If you say it then manifest it
But be careful who you say it to
Some people will try to test it
If you think, use reflection
Have sex then use protection
If you meet a girl and don't
Then make sure you have a connection
If she keeps it then you're
Stuck with that woman, don't wanna hear it
If she doesn't then the guilt you'll
Feel later will kill your spirit
Make sure you earn some money but
Money is not your god
Just a means to purchase things
Put family before your job
Put God before your family and
Love before your lust
Protect yourself at all times
Put truth before trust
Never fuss with ignorant folks
Actions are much louder
You retreat to keep the peace
That does not make you a coward
If you focus on you, you can never go unfelt
Not a lecture
Just a lesson I give to my younger self

Some advice to my younger self
Just advice to my younger self
Some advice to my younger self
Even trust could be a vice, some advice
