Let It Go |
I can’t hold back I gotta let it go |
Held on for too long I gotta let it go |
If I don’t find my way then I’ll never know |
Who I am truly let the beat move me |
Then I’ll go where it takes me |
Releasing all the shit I’ve been holding in lately |
At this rate see fam it’s bound to break me |
Mess around and give new meaning to crazy |
And lately I’ve been dwelling on this fact |
Discovering new ways to keep my sanity in tact |
I can’t get back to carefree living |
Rent’s thirteen plus a month where we’re living |
So kids right now is a scary vision |
With my income support I’ll barely give them |
Afraid at times but strength’s rarely missing |
I crave to shine although every prison’s |
A bit over-crowed they’ll make an exception |
For a brother my size about my complexion |
Hell no Cuz that’s out of the question |
Though I’m often stressed and I fight with depression |
I realized life is a lesson I don’t always |
Like where I’m heading so I write with aggression |
Hard to be polite when you’re stressing |
Not a thing’s P.C. |
about my a-alikes and my brethren |
Made the mic our weapon found peace on loose leaf |
Classics manufactured on no more than two sheets |
I black out on bright white for you chief |
And rap ‘bout how this trife life is too deep |
It’s an ancient epic not a news brief |
Same shit under the sun just a new thief |
Man I gotta get it together handle my business |
Maybe if I handled it better they couldn’t steal this |
God given talent that I’ve taken for granted |
Still no call backs labels making me panic |
All the while black trying to chase this and manage |
A relationship avoiding heartache and damage |
To my soul damn it does a number to my spirit |
So I cry out in pain knowing someone will hear it |
If I don’t dumb down will they run from my lyrics |
My fear is some will shun the things I hold dearest |
So hear this from now on letting it all go |
Like there’s no tomorrow ‘fore I drown in a bottle |
Of top shelf liq' with a twist of my sorrow |
If I finish it all yo we’ll both be hollow |
Life is what you make it is the motto I follow |
Hard to slow your roll when you’ve been living full throttle |
Trying to make my dreams manifest but it’s hard though |
Feel like I got a better chance at hitting the lotto |
See the blood sweat and tears staining my cargos |
From slaying fans waving hands screaming out bravo |
And encore like Jay — 26th letter |
Glad you think I’m dope but I’m trying to get better |
Some think I’m barely scratching the surface |
And I’ve probably held back in over half of the verses |
I’ve ever written and I probably shouldn’t spit’em |
‘Cause that’s about as pointless as watered down venom |
You should feel it in your heart and veins when it’s in them |
But it seems it’s barely felt when the aim was to kill them so I… |
I’ll go where it takes me, take me home Burns |
I’ll go where it takes me, take me home |
I’ll go where it takes me, take me home God |
I’ll go where it takes me, take me home |
I’ll go where it takes me, take me home Lord |
I’ll go where it takes me, take me home |
Take, take me home, Take, take me home |
Take, take me home, Take, take me home… Let It Go |
