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
