Beanie Sigel, James Blunt - Dear Self (Can I Talk To You) lyrics

And I see no bravery
No bravery, in your eyes only sadness

Dear self, can I talk to you?
I been trying to have this conversation
For years but you won't listen
Damn, are you that plain
Ignorant? You're so indignant
Please come off that high
Chair your sitting in
Before you snatched from it
Or strapped to it ya body used as a conduit
A thousand volts flow through you
Ya life gone over something foolish
Talking to you is so useless
Ya heads harder than them walls
You'll be housed in soon
Before ya body's embalmed and you lie in tomb
Open ya ears, eyes and heart
Cause that hour's soon
And the hour shall cometh
When Israfel blows his trumpets
The sky shall crack, the stars will plummet
The sun will rise in the West
You'll drown in your own sweat
And when that day shall be
I'll bet I'll see no bravery

Dear self can I talk to you?
Dear self can I talk to you?
Who are you to lecture me? You question me
About my life and the choices I made?
How dare you to place me in an early grave?
(whoa)
Why you gotta talk to me in that fashion?
You bury me face down with an open casket
This whole world can kiss mine
Tell me what this life got to offer him
A crooked preacher and a church alter?
A short speech and a long offering?
A deep grave and a short coffin?
Oh I get it you righteous now
(haha) , well let the truth be told
You done smoked every blunt I rolled
You done drove every car I stole
Cooked up every crack I sold
You done slept with every trick I laid

But I guess you done found Christ
I ain't know he was missin (Whoa)
Watch your Blasphemy man I ain't asked to be
Just let me live my life
Now hold on - No you listen
You was there on every decision
Whether it was right or wrong
And now you trying to right my wrongs
You got some nerve - you even give me
The words I write in this song
You see, my vision's much clearer
It's not me but it's you that I
See when I look in the mirror
And you call yourself saving me?
But it's through your eyes that I see
No bravery
