Messages From the Dead

Tupac told me to write from my heart and said they'll love my artistry
Eazy E said I'm the missing member of Bone Thugs N Harmony
Biggie text me to tell me to always be ready for crunch time
Big L told me to lyrically kill them with punchlines

George best said when I get to heaven he'll have a drink waiting for me
Aaliyah told me to love myself so much, it won't affect when people are hating on me
Proof told me, he loves my admiration for his best friend Eminem
ODB emailed to say he loves that my poetry is always genuine

Kurt Cobain said he's proud I made it past my suicidal thoughts
Soulja Slim advised me to always get back up when i fall short
Jam Master Jay told me to always play my part
Chinx told me to stay true to me, cause the world needs my heart

My dad said nothing, he never advised me when he was alive
I used to think about things he should have said
So I put together this write
And called it messages from the Dead
