Learning, learning, learning |
Learning, learning, learning |
When I was six years old, I kinda wet the bed |
My stepdad came in and nearly beat me to death |
All bruised and broken, I was lonely and scared |
My mom, she was working, there was nobody there |
My nana showed up, she was super protective |
Had a tear in her eye, she saw how I was neglected |
The crazy part about it, she’s a straight-up detective |
But you never would’ve guessed, at how she’d cook you a breakfast |
Three weeks later, she had him locked in a cell |
Now I’m seven years old with a story to tell |
Sing it |
I’m gonna let it go (Learning, learning) |
Forgiveness is something we gotta know (Learning, learning) |
'Cause if you hold on forever, it’ll hurt your soul |
That’s why I’m learning how to let it go (Learning, learning) |
That’s why I’m learning how to let it go |
Now middle school’s here, a new chapter in life |
New stepdad too, made my mama his wife |
Got new problems now, like tryna fit in |
Getting looked down on just because of your skin |
It’s bad enough, I can’t afford them clothes |
Got high water’s on with holes in my sole |
Now, that’s the type of stuff to put a hole in your soul |
But I, I’m just gonna, I’m just gonna |
I’m gonna let it go (Learning, learning) |
Forgiveness is something we gotta know (Learning, learning) |
'Cause if you hold on forever, it’ll hurt your soul |
That’s why I’m learning how to let it go (Learning, learning) |
That’s why I’m learning how to let it go |
Let it go (Learning, learning) |
Yeah |
I’m grown up now, I learned enough for a song |
Still got some friends (Yeah), but most of 'em gone (They gone) |
Overdoses or killed by a gun |
Breaking into houses, life on the run |
Did it for his kid, now he won’t be around |
Guess the little one’s gonna be just like me now |
If you’re carrying the bitterness around on your shoulders |
Just remember what I told you |
Sing it |
I’m gonna let it go (Learning, learning) |
Forgiveness is something we gotta know (Learning, learning) |
'Cause if you hold on forever, it’ll hurt your soul (hurt your soul) |
That’s why I’m learning how to let it go (Learning, learning) |
That’s why I’m learning how to let it go (Come on, learning learning) |
I’m learning how to let it go |
