316.
Dear haters, I wanna take this time to give you thanks
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what it's like to float and be sank
Thank you doubters, and all of you that thought I didn't have bars
I guess you were surprised out of this world, Pluto, Mars
Maybe I don't have a lot of haters, but everybody has some
When you're involved in a race, there's always people that tell you not to run
It could be behind my back, in front of me, or in a totally different form
Thank you for all the times you said I could never be a rapper, or maybe you doubt me in other things
Maybe because I'm self taught on the drums, I don't know what being a musician means
Maybe because I'm not fully anything, you say I'm too between
Whatever it is, I wanna thank you for making me better
It takes a lot of God-given strength to move past your haters
But I love y'all, even if you don't like me.
But wait, hold on, do you hear that sound?
That's the sound of me bouncing back, call it a rebound
You wanna know why I'm too blessed to be stressed, too gifted to be miffed, too strong as the day is long?
Well it's not because of me, I am not the artist
I'm the canvas being used by the real and true Artist
Mineo said it best, so maybe you're uncomfortable with my stuff
Maybe you don't like it enough
But as long as my Father and the squad got me
I'll take any support or even hate that y'all are giving out
It's ok with me as long as I get this message out
How they know I'm one of the best they ever heard
But how I still rep the kingdom of the Lord
I'm the son of royalty, so I don't even see y'all
Like I'm overlooking, kinda like what you do to me
Maybe I'm not rhyming every word this time, if you're not into that, then to me that's fine
Again, this was meant as a thank-you note
You made me a better man than I could ever hope to be on my own
So to all my fans, thank you for your support
But, to be real, the haters are probably just as important
