Dear Universe - Lauren Sanderson

You know you’re kinda like the female G-Eazy

The confidence of Drake, with the goofiness of Weezy

Give me a piece of paper and I’ll write shit easy peasy

No confusion, got a dream and I’ll achieve it lemon squeezy, yuh

When I grow up, I want a Charger and a Benzy

I wake up every day and work until the day endzy

People come to me when their life is in a frenzy

If to you, my vision’s blurry, wipe your fucking lensy

I have no doubt the shit I dream will truly happen

Feel it in my soul, it’s like my conscience always tappin'

See myself on stages, to a crowd I will be rapping

I know I’m 19, but good God lets get it crackin'

On the move, every day’s a new location

My life is kinda cool, it’s like a constant vacation

Girls in my DM’s, let me give you a «ation

«Yeah, I love you so much, Lauren, you’re my inspiration!»

Oh am I really?

Goddamn this shit moves super fast

Gettin work done cause I don’t care to finish last

Got a job, got a girl, yeah I got a past

Which is exactly why I strive to make my future last

«Way to go, baby!"Fam's always got my back

Even back at the house when all I did was slack

Even when I was going down the wrong path

That’s what happens when it’s mainly confidence you lack

Refuse to turn back, right now all I see is forward

All I see are dreams and goals, that’s all I move toward

Is my merch ordered?

In size order?

Is my art bordered?

Am I performer?

Are we getting warmer?

Is it my time?

If not, I’ll do it by myself, don’t wanna stand in line

If you want it, you will get it, draw the line

Cause time don’t stop for anybody, I’m not wasting mine

So from now on, listen to your soul

If you got so many dreams, how come they never show?

Man it’s up to you, that’s all I know

What you think you become, that’s how it goes

The problem is you think it’s all a joke

Don’t give into society, I swear it’s all a hoax

They tell you you’re not beautiful, and then they brag and boast

But your worth is not defined by the likes on shit you post

Do the most — Everything you got and more

There’s so much more to life, take a second to explore

Your mind and all your thoughts, fuck, it’s really not a chore

Sit down with a journal, get a pen and let it pour, yeah, yeah

Cause how you think this song was made?

Think about it, really think before you throw me shade

I’m just a normal kid, livin' life, can’t complain

I gotta little knowledge so trust me when I say

Stay positive and stay you every day

When you’re positive, the negatives fade away

It happens when you change your mind in every way

Listen to my words, let them sink in and pray

«Dear Universe, let me tell you 'bout my day

Nothing’s working, swear its not,"That's what you’ll say

«My life’s going wrong and to my dismay

I can’t find happiness and when I do, it never stays

My boyfriend’s been cheatin', gettin' laid

Plus I lost my job, now I’m not gettin' paid

I bend backwards just to make the good stay

Then the sadness comes and it never goes away

I’ve tried everything — drinking, smoking, nothin' works

Tell me why all I ever seem to do is hurt

Why’s this happening, Universe, You hear my thoughts?

Cause honestly at this point, they’re really all I got

It’s worth a shot, please, someone do you hear me?

I know you’re there, God, please, someone do you feel me?

I need some good thoughts and energy near me"

Say thank you and sign your name

Sincerely

The Universe surrounds you when you share your voice

But he needs all your attention so clear the noise

He’ll tell you happy’s not a destination, it’s a choice

No direction, don’t wait for him to fuckin' point

It’s up to you, you decide with every glance you take

Good or bad is a decision you gotta make

Is it really that deep?

Ask yourself and wait

Can I help the situation or won’t it change?

Guess you’ll never know, cause you never do it

You see a problem and you give up, «Nah man, screw it»

You’re in a constant battle, but I’ll help you through it

If you’re willing, start fresh like a fuckin' tourist

When this song ends, really think about your life

I have faith in you, take my words as advice

You are beautiful and everything will be alright

Make the change you wanna see, all doubts aside…

«That shit was fucking long as fuck

Well, long story short, like

The people who try and bring you down are already below you

Just do you

Fuck it

Bye»
