  • Out of sight, out of mind,
    Out of time, to decided.
    Do we run?
    Should I hide?
    For the rest, of my life.
    X2
    Verse 1:
    Dear Anne
    My number 1 fan
    I write with the light from the lamp on my nightstand
    With my pen in my right hand
    And that's also my mic hand
    Codeine in the sprite can
    Ink on the white pad
    And I'm thinking of life, Anne
    And wrong and right, Anne
    And sometimes I'm right
    And sometimes I might
    Ca-can I find the light?
    Still my rhymes are bright
    So I continue my plan
    And I'm sure (shore) like white sand
    That they'll be price payin'
    Before my flight land
    But still, I want to see more than my sight can
    Adore, so I can't ignore
    What I want anymore
    So I just go, you can call me the Gore
    And oh yeah
    I got a girl, she act like I owe her
    And um, sometimes it seems like I just don't know her
    And yeh, the relationship is starting to feel like a chore
    But I really hope I'm not starting to bore
    Page 1.
    [Chorus]
    Out of sight, out of mind,
    Out of time, to decided.
    Do we run?
    Should I hide?
    For the rest, of my life.

    [Verse 2]
    Dear Anne
    My number 1 fan
    I write you this letter
    I hope everything's grand
    I hope everyone's good
    I hope everybody's praying

    I hope ? hold up baby, let me switch hands
    See, lately I've been dealing with a lot of shit and
    It's burning me and I can't get out of this pan
    And every time I look there's a problem with this man
    But I ain't tryna expose, I'm just tryna expand
    But your support held me up like kickstands
    And I'm also being more careful in how I pick friends
    And I'm tryna stay up out them chick's pants
    (Laughs) but, I just can't
    But, on another note, this ain't just another note
    This is more than a rap
    This is more of an oath
    And I know you're wondering what this letter is for
    And I'm just hoping that you read this far
    Page 2
    [Chorus]
    Out of sight, out of mind,
    Out of time, to decided.
    Do we run?
    Should I hide?
    For the rest, of my life.

    [Verse 3]
    Dear Anne
    My number 1 fan
    By now you probably think I'm portraying who I'm sayin
    And sometimes I wish I wasn't him, but I am
    And it's people like you that make me part of what I am
    But hey, you are the shit
    Damn, pardon the gram (grammar)
    But it's like you make me feel like I'm a part of the fam
    And shit, when my life be like some sort of exam
    It's a jungle out there- lions, horses and rams
    Shit, as I sit and wait for the war to began
    I just think of you, then I'm rewarded again
    And, with you, is where my artistry can
    And, so with you is where a part of me stands
    And, I hope I see you in the stands
    Anne, because you know I understand
    And, and I'm sorry about Stan
    So I wrote this to say I'm your number 1 fan.
    [Chorus]
    Out of sight, out of mind,
    Out of time, to decided.
    Do we run?
    Should I hide?
    For the rest, of my life.
