A Conversation with My Younger Self Vin Jay

Yeah
Sometimes you just gotta reflect
Remember who are
Who you were
And where you come from

Lately, I’ve been trying to figure it out
Could be traveling the world, but I just sit in the house
I just want to make my parents and my siblings proud
But I'm consumed by this crippling doubt

Still the younger me would love to meet the person I’ve become
If I could talk to him id let him know he’s enough And he’s gon make a living off everything that he loves
If I could just talk to him once, yeah

I’d let him know that mom leaving doesn’t mean she hates you
It’s gonna leave you with trauma but you won’t let it break you
You’re gonna try to fill that void with everything you can
It’s gonna take some more than alcohol. I hope you understand

You’re gonna get into drugs and you'll get addicted
Neglect all of the people that matter and you’ll get distant
You’ll get yourself a therapist just to fill a prescription
And pop em all to try to hide the fact that you’re conflicted

Conflicted with life, conflicted with God conflicted with the fact you’re never gonna be what you want
You gon struggle with young love and battle with depression
And contemplate the purpose of a life without affection
