Letter To My Freshman Self by Ian Persaud Lyrics
In this letter, Imma give it to you straight
Shits tough it knocks you down there's too much life up on your plate
I'll tell you how you'll change in these years its been bout 8
So grab your pad and pencil quick for these notes you'll wanna take
You're way too critical and insecure
Give it a rest
I know you want to give up but
You need to try your best
You're struggling with something big
Just get it off your chest
You'll fall in love then lose it after that
We both end up depressed
You'll break yourself then fall apart
We take on too much stress
You'll become an introvert cause
Sweatpants are the best
You'll swipe a lot and meet some
Fine women you'll undress
Your confidence will bloom again
Although your room is still a mess
I know that you don't think you're worth it but you know
The flowers bloom so beautifully despite the winter's snow
There's no need to rush the time will come when you know
How to find the love between the lines, under your nose
And you will find yours
Take your time
To explore
Don't be scared
Be sure
You'll learn to cry soon so let your tears pour
Grab your notepad
And your love for vocab
Take your time and daydream
In the back of a slow cab
Pull the beats you drum up
Write about the come up
Cause every opportunity in front of you is like a 1 up
I know you wanna run up
Work until the sun up
Came from the back of the class
But don't front up
If its gotta be then let it be
Play your own melody
And keep in mind that sometimes pain is the remedy
I know you get it
Mind over matter
Grind over chatter
Money's at the top so grab a ladder but
Don't forget to wait up
You gotta hold your weight up
Who you are is on the other side of what you're afraid of
Man whatchu made of?
Shits tough it knocks you down there's too much life up on your plate
I'll tell you how you'll change in these years its been bout 8
So grab your pad and pencil quick for these notes you'll wanna take
You're way too critical and insecure
Give it a rest
I know you want to give up but
You need to try your best
You're struggling with something big
Just get it off your chest
You'll fall in love then lose it after that
We both end up depressed
You'll break yourself then fall apart
We take on too much stress
You'll become an introvert cause
Sweatpants are the best
You'll swipe a lot and meet some
Fine women you'll undress
Your confidence will bloom again
Although your room is still a mess
I know that you don't think you're worth it but you know
The flowers bloom so beautifully despite the winter's snow
There's no need to rush the time will come when you know
How to find the love between the lines, under your nose
And you will find yours
Take your time
To explore
Don't be scared
Be sure
You'll learn to cry soon so let your tears pour
Grab your notepad
And your love for vocab
Take your time and daydream
In the back of a slow cab
