Let Go

[Intro: Samora Pinderhughes] There’s places I go I can’t tell you about There’s things I have done I can’t carry around I need to let go, I need to let go [Verse 1: Common] Sittin’ in the shadow of me, gradually battlin’ me A fall from grace like Adam and Eve Search for the inner-Vatican in me The temple, the body, I’m mental, I’m godly Somehow I made my mess-ups my hobby Is it the stress and the pressure? Probably Out here with much anger inside me Don’t know who my friends are, stranger inside me Stranger things, gettin’ high clipped off my angel wings Thought I was gonna fly when Obama became the king Pain and disdain are the rings that I wear It’s just the price of life when things ain’t as fair To pay dues and you still owe somethin' on 'em When you bruised and they still want somethin' from you Run through my mind, trippin’ over time It’s moving faster than me, haphazardly So much drive that I crashed into me Father, will time be my last enemy? What will my soul be worth when you cash in on me? I’m bent, prayin' on passionate knee [Chorus: Samora Pinderhughes] There’s places I go I can’t tell you about There’s things I have done I can’t carry around I need to let go, I need to let go In a state, in a place Whatever worth I get appraised Don't wanna wait for Heaven’s gates A hellish thing is too much weight I need to let go, I need to let go [Verse 2: Common] The best souls reach thresholds and can’t let go Empty room, wishin’ for a miracle to echo In my mind, I hear times can stay ghetto Born rebel, havin’ my own inner-Aleppo Saved by the blood then I should be a vessel Just another Jacob, with God I wrestle I deal with the Devil, temptations, hee-eey Tryin’ to get the spirit right, reflection’s in the way How many lessons in a day do I need Before I get on my demons, see the fruits of my seed? It was written I read, I keep gettin’ Rocky’d In a fight with my mind, from these decisions, I bleed I’m supposed to go high when they go low I forget the big picture and snap like a photo Solo in a crowded room, seein’ myself like a powder room In my eyes clouds of doubt and gloom Between me and the sun, it’s weed in a gun I yell freedom 'cause I’m free to be dumb When it's all done, will I have heaven's dress code And been able to let God and let go? [Chorus: Samora Pinderhughes] There’s places I go I can’t tell you about There’s things I have done I can’t carry around I need to let go, I need to let go In a state, in a place Whatever worth I get appraised Don't wanna wait for Heaven’s gates A hellish thing is too much weight I need to let go, I need to let go
