Note to Self Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
And wherever we go
And whatever we do
And whatever we see
And whoever we be
It don’t matter, it don’t matter
I don’t mind ’cause you don’t matter
I don’t mind ’cause I don’t matter
(And don’t shit matter) You’ll see in the end
[Verse]
I’ve got a feeling that there’s somethin’ more
Something that holds us together
Something that holds us together
The strangest feeling but I can’t be sure
Something that’s old as forever
Something that’s old as forever
Love, love, love, love
[Chorus]
And wherever we go
And whatever we do
And whatever we see
And whoever we be
It don’t matter, ahh, it don’t matter
I don’t mind ’cause you don’t matter, ay
I don’t mind ’cause I don’t matter
(And don’t shit matter) You’ll see in the end, ahh!

And, I’m sorry I had to come snatch the crown right quick

We gotta be the example, we gotta show these niggas man
It’s love at the top
Can’t you believe, it–it’s crazy to believe we sitting right here
In these motherfuckin’ seats right now
Fifteen years ago, we was lookin’ at these niggas
Like, “Man we gotta be these niggas!”
Now we those niggas
But it’s our responsibility to show these niggas man it’s love up here
Niggas want beef, niggas want drama
Fuck that we comin’ together
Shout out to everybody in Ferguson right now still ridin’, still ridin’
Everybody else asleep, y’all still ridin’
And it’s bigger than Ferguson, man that shit is fuckin’ nationwide man
We gotta come together, look at each other, love each other
And feel like we are one another
We share a common story nigga, that shit is pain, struggle
And guess what man? We can come together
And that’s one things that’s gon’ do it, that’s love
I’m just telling y’all, that’s a Public Service Announcement

And a SUV, and showed us all about the radio game, man
And we ain’t had no hits, all we had was fuckin’ “Who Dat”
Tryin’ figure this shit out man and I figured it out
B Nolan, I finally figured it out
I know you like “Damn, this nigga talking to me?”
I’m talking to you man
‘Cause you used to hear us stressin’ over this shit
And I finally figured it out, man, don’t none of that shit matter yo
I came all this way, all the way from Fayetteville, North Carolina
Went to New York City got this motherfuckin’ record deal
Put out some classics, put out some singles
Had my ups, had my downs
Came all this way just to learn one thing man
Only one fuckin’ thing matters and that’s your happiness
And the only way you gon’ get to that happiness
Is through love, real, genuine, motherfuckin’ love man
Not the fake shit, not the Hollywood shit
Not the niggas giving you props so you think you the shit
Not motherfuckers knowing you so you think you famous
Not niggas seeing your whip and they want your whip
So you feel good ’cause they want your whip
Or they want your bitch, so you feel better, fuck that, real love
Where your crib is at nigga, where your heart is at
Where your home is at, where your mom is at, where your girl is at
Mimi, what up?! I’m fuckin’ up my words, I don’t care
How am I not gon’ shout out Mimi man?
Fuck that shit, keep the tape rollin’, we still goin’, wassup man?!
Forest Hills Drive, we gon’ do this shit

Nigga it’s the fuckin’ credits
Don’t nobody stay for the movie credits anyways man
My mamaa, ohhhhhhh! I love you!
I’m so grateful and blessed to have you, still in my life
A lot of people ain’t got their mothers in they life still
And I recognize that I’m blessed
Mama, I love you, Zach I love you
My pops I love you, James Cole, I love you,
