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, motherfucker? Send me the link, I'll check into your room motherfucker Cybercongradulate 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 more flex A Rolex won't keep you sane or 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 shouted, 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 whole 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 will 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, shit, pray loud Never took a knife to a gunfight Pops got two strikes from the umpire Stop light, two rights on a bumped tire And the sirens push 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 these racist rollers They could pull the trigger, family can't afford to pay the lawyer Say the word They tell me you got the 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 afford I wrote this the day they killed George Floyd We won't forget your story If I shouted, 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 whole institution Just to breathe, we need to let go We need to let go We need to let go We need to let go (Nah bro) We need to let go (We done let go one too many times, my nigga) Fuck bein' patient, give a pig a rope, he'll make a noose And fuck lettin' go, I'm all 'bout lettin' loose Weapons prove that talk is cheap Chalk'll mark the spot, where are they arteries Release the coldest blood that's known from West to East And we're prone to trust the liar Even though they rest they feet upon our neck Or shove their knee on our spine 'til 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 they niece We built the pyramids, why do they still experiment on the ghetto Was taught that if you walked the earth you are my fellow Must be naive 'cause as I weave through all this black and white searchin' for yellow I hold on to my faith and never let go I'm 'bout to let go If I shouted, 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 whole 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
