Letters I by The Black Ace Lyrics
(Verse)
Been a long time since we started
These stories that you wanna tell left your heart long departed
The art of rap is to tell stories of truth and conviction
Sometimes they turn into tales of money and vixens
But I know you know we've been fixing to start dishing out these rhymes
The lyrics stay in your head, I'm talking 'bout line for line
It's easy and doesn't take much time...ok fine
I'm lying but you know that this is worth it every time
We grab the comb, pretending it's a mic
Check the sound
Cloud of thoughts of our future studio with that surround
Time equals energy and energy is time
That's why it heals any wound but can't stop on a dime
So you make sure our wallet's fat one day
And our fam's okay
And our future wife still feels the love in the little ways
'Cause right now life is crazy, yeah, it's been a long time
Since it wasn't just a joke, truly "everything is fine"
You've always been a cliche, writing me letters
It's 2020, where's your iPhone at? Emojis are better
Boy, people don't listen long, make it quick
Then again, my first release was 6 minutes long, it was a hit
Now I want more, your writing keeps getting better
I never thought I'd see the day when we would speak together
But alas, I've been found
Those noises were just my sounds
Those little leaks, tiny tweets
Now my letters hitting pound-for-pound
Like Ali
My messages spread like Gandhi
I'm learning from people behind me
While keeping my people beside me
They hearing my voice, they feeling the lyrics
I'm hitting they heart, they brain, they spirit
Delirious people be trying to hate
No roots of connection, I cannot relate
Stressing me, they testing we, I know you've got the energy
I'm curious how far you'll go now that you're standing next to me
The one and only Black Ace, remember every letter
'Cause I won't drop from the game until you know the name forever
Been a long time since we started
These stories that you wanna tell left your heart long departed
The art of rap is to tell stories of truth and conviction
Sometimes they turn into tales of money and vixens
But I know you know we've been fixing to start dishing out these rhymes
The lyrics stay in your head, I'm talking 'bout line for line
It's easy and doesn't take much time...ok fine
I'm lying but you know that this is worth it every time

Time equals energy and energy is time
That's why it heals any wound but can't stop on a dime
So you make sure our wallet's fat one day

And our future wife still feels the love in the little ways
'Cause right now life is crazy, yeah, it's been a long time
