Lil Wayne’s not allowed to sign autographs while in prison, but he CAN write letters to his fans (and blog about it).

In his first public letter since he began serving his one year sentence on Rikers Island, Weezy F. Baby addresses his fans’ concerns about his well being:

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. (READ MORE)

It’s great to see that his spirits are up and he’s doing will. My prayers are with Wayne.
