{verse 1}
Dear suave
It’s 2006 and i’m writing you this letter
I don’t know where you’ll be at when you read this
But i hope you’ve outgrown polo sweaters
I’m sitting here at your desk
In your basement studio
Moms just screamed at me
‘cause i blasted the volume on the radio
I’m trying to get inspired man
I’m writing my first album
I hear a lot of rappers use ghost writers
I’ma do it without one
I’ve been listening to a lot kanye, jay-z, and 50
Writing rhymes, making beats
Just working at the craft, dig me?
I got a couple tracks in the can
Thеy sound good to my ear
The idea is to rеcord a few more
And put the cd out by the end of the year
My mans at the dealership
Said i can use the rolls for a shoot
He ain’t ask for much either
Just to borrow the playstation 2
I’m thinking of rocking a suit on the cover
Something like ‘reasonable doubt’
Burn a hundred copies for promo
To help get the word out
I’mma give this music thing a shot
And who knows if i’ma it
But fuck it, you only live once right?
So i might as well take it
{hook}
When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Isn't that the way to do it?
Tell me i can do it too
{verse 2}
Dear suave
It’s 2016 and i’m writing you this note
I know it’s been a long time and a lot has happened
Since the last time i wrote
I moved up to new york like i said i would
And thought i made it yo
I found my first gig at atlantic
But then they let me go
Not gon’ lie, that shit hurt my pride
But i ain’t lose my cool
Wasn’t sure what i wanted to do
So i ended up going back to school
Got a masters in business
Started repping the u
By the way you're gonna be paying off them student loans
But it’s gonna be worth it to you
After graduating
I found my way back to music
I got a second opportunity
And i found a way to use it
I got a job at mtv
Can’t complain it’s alright
Sometimes i kick it after hours
And use the recording studio at night
I’m working on a follow up
Man i been going through some shit
I tried to move on from making music
Until i realized i still loved it
Besides, i think i’ve gotten better
And i ain’t got shit to lose
Who knows maybe one day you’ll thank me
Because i lit the fuse
{hook}
When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Isn't that the way to do it?
Tell me i can do it too
{verse 3}
Dear suave
It’s 2023 and i got something to tell you
I’m proud of the man you’ve become
Because you went through hell dude
You made your way up the ranks
Worked at a couple majors
You busted your ass for sure
And you proved it to them haters
You traveled the world
And made a name for yourself
You might have crashed and burned a few times
But at least you wore your seatbelt
Lost yourself in the pandemic
You had a lot of free time
You remember when no one would hire you?
If not, then let me remind
Thirty-two interviews
Phillip screwed but still pushed through
Bitter dudes, twitter feuds
They tried to push you to quit and lose
But your time came
‘cause god’s time’s perfect
So don’t worry about their verdict
There’s no better way to word it
Man you got your shit together
You finally got that benz
But jealousy breeds envy
So now you fucking with less friends
You dropped your last album two years ago
Yo and that shit was fire
Maybe the world is ready for another one
‘cause i know you’re ain't ready to retire
{hook}
When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Isn't that the way to do it?
Tell me i can do it too
(yo bring it back)
When you're shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Shooting for the moon and finally make it
Guess a lucky star is shining on you
Isn't that the way to do it?
Tell me i can do it too
