This is a letter to my mama

This is a letter to my mama
Howdy!
Dear Mama, ah yuh last bwoy Leonard dis
Mi jus ah check fi si if everyting ah yard criss
Anyway, yuh know di feds dem hol' mi
Jus truu mi neva listen weh yuh told mi
Thirty years fi a gun, dat unnu heard ah
Mi woulda less time if ah murder
Mi tell dem mi neva di pin file dung
So ah nine months mi get wen e boil dung
Ah federal prison, so mi have mi own room
Mi read mi Bible everyday and watch cartoon
But mi inna yah ah do some heavy thinkin'
Ah wen mi come ah road, mi dun wid di drinkin'
Mi jus ah concentrate pon mi music
Ah it choose mi, ah neva mi choose it
Yuh always seh mi stubborn and hard-aize
And one day mi gwine learn di hard way
Mi know yuh disappointed, but pray fi mi
And anyway, seh howdy to Aunt May fi mi
Mi woulda call, but mi know yuh ah guh start cry
But as yuh 'quint, dis yah time ah guh pass by
Mi hear Ghaddafi dung deh ah try find mi

Mi 'ear seh Snagga Puss him all ah sell roots now
And Kartel even have him own boots now

Ah mussi angel dem need or some help bad

Suh mek dem gwaan call mi name wid dem furry mouth
Ah yuh alone and mi fans dem mi worry bout
Mi have commissary money, suh mi alright
Dem seh 'Lights Out' suh mi haffi stop write
But anyway, Mom, yuh gwine si mi shortly
With Love, Your Son Leonard Bartley
Howdy!
