A‑Q Lyrics
A‑Q closes out his introspective trilogy with “Note To Self”, the 10th track from his *God’s Engineering 3 (The Beginning)* album. This reflective letter-to-the-future is both vulnerable and visionary, as A‑Q addresses his future self—wondering if dreams came true, sacrifices paid off, and lessons remained intact.
With poignant lines like “Sending this message to the future like 10 years apart” and “Hope my decision made it better for the later years,” the song blends soulful storytelling with poetic introspection. The beat is mellow, allowing A‑Q’s lyricism—marked by honesty and emotional depth—to shine through. As noted in one review: it’s “a letter to whoever he is in ten years,” underscoring its deeply personal tone.
“Note To Self” not only resonates as a standout track but serves as a thematic closure to a trilogy defined by discipline, truth, and legacy. Its introspective nature makes it a moving listen for anyone contemplating growth, purpose, and what the future might hold.
A‑Q – Note To Self Lyrics
My inspiration forever
I don’t know where you are
Sending this message to the future like 10 years apart
I don’t know where to start
I hope you made it there
I hope you’re somewhere living up and got some greying hair
At this point you overcame your fear
January 10th 4:55am you made it clear
2025 was gonna be the year it falls apart or falls in place
Not on the fence
Either we lose or break out the hemisphere
It’s been hard building the cake bizness I hate it here
Hope my decision made it better for the later years
I hope my savings helped you take it there
Don’t thank me yet
Cause if I fucked it up I pray you don’t regret no sudden debt
I hope you’re living life cause now we’re living good
Hope the nightmares of losing everything don’t get to you
Hope you left your car obsession in 2032
If not, I hope you in the latest to the flyest cars
Literally cause by then they should’ve made flying cars
If you lost it all remember we defied the odds
Paraphrase this anytime cos this is mine and yours
Hope you’re living healthy still drinking up your hibiscus
The people recognize you in the street as one of the greatest rappers to have ever lived
Do you still see tweets of your lyrics?
Does social media still exist?
Do kids put your music on repeat and think you are the shit
I feel the future of social media will be reality shows
Everyone have live feed cameras on them
And they can switch it on and off if they choose
To show how vanity grows
Whatever they dying to show
It’s getting out of control
You should be a father now
How is marriage working out?
Mum and dad never had no rings but they stuck it out
Everything that’s dead will resurrect in form of trauma
Never knew where my brothers were buried
I hope you worked it out
I know people that picked up habits at an older age
Remember you can only speak to God from a sober place
Pride goes before a fall
If I had to choose
I’d rather fall because of my pride than be on top and have to beg these fools
I’ve seen money get people confused
To the point they can’t separate themselves from their ego
And in the end, they lose
Pride and ego shouldn’t matter when you’re old and grey
I’m sending you this cos I know I would be you someday
But it was never about me it’s about you
Listening right now without plans for your later phase
What’s the plan for your future self you’re still afraid
Everything you do right now will help you be okay or feel betrayed
It’s a choice
You can live now or live forever
Live always
Live now
Live
