Let Go

Listen

If I don't make it to my pillow 'fore these lights go out

Please write about me, cite my lyrics, and know they ignite my spirit

Poor babies fightin' depression, been writin' them essays

To graduate with no stage on Zoom, muhfucker

Send me the link, I'll check into your room, muhfucker

Cybercongratulate you, then purposely agitate you

Askin' questions like, "How you supposed to protest with no chest?"

A big heart, but they closed down all the gyms, wish you had Bowflex

A Rolex won't keep you sane and safe from danger

They shut down nature, where the fuck I'm supposed to place my anger?

Ironically, my honesty might make me enemy of state

I trust that God'll use my pen to draw His face

Still got my pistol on my waist

If I shout but ain't nobody around to hear it

How 'bout it when it echo?

I sing loud to talk to my inner child, he feel it

Your dreams made out of Legos

I reach out despite the feeling they out to kill us

Get rowdy 'bout the pesos

The solution for this cold institution

Just to breathe, we need to let go

Oh, we need to let go

Oh, we need to let go

We need to let go

Oh, we need to let go

Seven pounds of flesh'll hang out

When it pierce your vest and it rang out

And them tears your best friend is cryin'

It appears won't rest, but a page out

Of the book of life said, "Pray loud"

Never took a knife to a gunfight

Pops got two strikes from the empire

Stoplight, two rights on a bumped tire

And the sirens plus red and blue lights told me, "Pull over"

I should feel safer, but expired plates on old Toyotas

Means I can't afford to pay tickets to two of these racist rollers

They could pull the trigger, family can't afford to pay the lawyer

Say the word, they tell me, "You got access to a league of warriors"

Eyes haven't seen what heaven keeps in store for us, there's more of us

But in this life, some wars we can't avoid

I wrote this the day they killed George Floyd

We won't forget your story

If I shout but ain't nobody around to hear it

How 'bout it when it echo?

I sing loud to talk to my inner child, he feel it

Young dreams made out of Legos

I reach out despite the feeling they out to kill us

Get rowdy 'bout the pesos

The solution for this cold institution

Just to breathe, we need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

(But we didn't let go)

(One too many times my ****)

We need to let go

Fuck bein' patient, give a pig a rope, he'll make a noose

And fuck lettin' go, I'm all about lettin' loose

Weapons prove that talk is cheap

Chalk'll mark the spot where all their arteries

Released the coldest blood that's known from west to east

And we're prone to trust the liar, even though they rest their feet upon our neck

Or shove their knee in our spine till we rest in peace

And they never get convicted 'cause this crooked ass system protects they peeps

They killed her uncle, now who's gon' protect their niece?

We built the pyramids, why do they still experiment on the ghetto?

Was taught that if you walked the earth, then you're my fellow

Must be naive 'cause as I weave through all this black and white searchin' for yellow

I'll hold on to my faith and never let go

But I'm 'bout to let go

If I shout but ain't nobody around to hear it

How 'bout it when it echo?

I sing loud to talk to my inner child, he feel it

Young dreams made out of Legos

I reach out despite the feeling they out to kill us

Get rowdy 'bout the pesos

The solution for this cold institution

Just to breathe, we need to let go

Oh, we need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go

We need to let go
