Lil Wayne’s Letter To His Fans: Letter #01: Gone ’til November…

As a fan of hip-hop, as a person who has had his own legal battles, as a person who has friends and family behind the G wall I know what he and his family have on their mind. I think It is cool for people who support Wayne to be able to return the favor and write him something to get him through his tuff time as he did for all those fans who used his music to get through their personal battles. Wayne and His camp set up a site that he will communicate through and it is called weezythanxyou.com.

The Island is what we call it in NYC and it can go down in a blink of an eye. People say its only 8 months but in those 8 months anything can happen his fellow bloods could label him food if they are not feeling him. And if they are they can put him up on game and open the books to him and have him real right so when he get home his codes are up to date. In Wayne’s letter I get the sense that son realizes that he is gone all the things we dream about that is his reality are gone. Its just him and his state green,and no lean. Wayne in my eyes is a child star, we grew up with him as our parents did Michael Jackson.

I think Wayne will become a bigger problem musically because take a person who now is going through something that the average black male on the street goes through. And now he can talk for the jails and not just entertain them. I think not being able to do the thing he loves the most hurts him I think he needs those stadium of people yelling his name. I feel the 8 months was harsh for a celebrity of his caliber, Im not excusing him but Im saying he wasn’t going to shoot a soul he wasn’t going to rob any one it was for protection. Wayne is a small guy and a super star  who should be allowed to defend his self. Wayne was not going to pull a Shyne who has had more street experience than entertainment.

During my prison stint, I want my fans to know I love you. I want all of you to know that I appreciate all the mail I get, and this is my way of saying thank you. The F is for Family, Friends, and Fans.Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries.

I’m in good spirits man, for real. My kids

race through my mind all day. They know they were created with love, so love is how their life will be defined. I just hope my love and adoration for them provides a temporary bandage on a wound I unknowingly inflicted on them.

Real soon, you can catch me blogging for ESPN again thank you espn for not letting my passion for sports perish. I work out a lot because it helps pass the time. I read the Bible everyday. Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.

But this isn’t all about me, you are the reason for this letter. It’s because of you Rebirth went gold when critics aborted it. It’s because of you Young Money is and will always be a movement. If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I beg of you, place it on mine. That’s the least I could do for you, after all you have sacrificed for me. If I could, I’d write each one of you back. Because of this, my team and I have created a website where you can view my letters. Each week I’ll answer as many questions as I possibly can.

Mia Edwards (Southern California) – I wish you nothing but the best for you. Earning your Masters in Library and Information Science is beautiful. I’ll keep you in mind whenever I decide to do an autobiography on my life.

Kelly Holloman (Brooklyn) – I still remember your letter. You have a great spirit. Thank you for the words and being a real fan. I love you.

Nurris Terrero (New York) – Your letter was so thoughtful and sincere. The way you worded everything left me in awe. Please send suggestions on books I should read. I look forward to checking them out.

For real, this will be the best way we can communicate for the coming months. The same way yall miss me, I miss yall, only 100 times more. To those who hate. Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically. Keep sending the letters and I promise keep responding. Thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU. No matter what they do to erase me, my love for you will always be permanent. Remember that. Take care. God bless.

Give me the patience that I need
To keep my piece of mind,
And with life’s cares, I hope, Dear God,
Some happiness to find.
Give me the courage to face life`s trials
and not to from troubles run.
let me keep this thought in mind.
“Thy Will,” not “Mine,” be done.

– “Pray”
