• Let It Go

I was never one to let things go easy believe me, I wish I could let it all fly/
I know it’s not classy but when life pass me I stare, & I whistle as the girl walks by/
My mother taught me better, she learned it from the hood/
Don’t bother chasing gold be complacent with the wood/
But I was like what ever, I’m never one to listen, I ventured into woods other people wouldn’t dare/
Entitled like I’m rich so I always thought I could/
In the world not a care when you’re full of ambition/
Following the trails to the cities made of myths/
Legendary tales took me there to make a hit/
I got up to the door & I wasn’t on the list, opportunity with scrutiny I’m soon to be dismissed/
But I was on a mission so I was like yeah,
I’m kind of a big deal/ Let me in I got a gift/

[Chorus]
You’ve got to let it go/
Sometimes you’ve got these problems on your mind/
& you should always know/
That people will tell you, you’ll solve them, you’ll be fine/
But I don’t believe that, you see that’s/
A way of being lazy, if you want it got to get it/
& you fronted & you quit it/
Than you’re nothing but a victim in a system that we live it/
but forgiven if you want to try again/

I’m a man of faith but I’m not a man that waits/ I don’t plan of fate, I plan on me to make a plate/
In other words I don’t bitch, I never walk away/
When things fall apart, I build them back I don’t ditch/
Folding under pressure, carry more than I can take/
Knees buckle from the weight but never sore from the lift/
Never came to grips with the fact, that I got to sit back/
With the cards I was dealt when I play/
I want a better hand so I’m putting mine together/
Not to the sky but the plans that I make/
Strength been given, I’ll be damn if I break/
It’s brains over bronze, at me weakest when I’m clever/
In my twelfth hour when my mom starts to pray/
Fifteen til, still trying to persist/
About a minute left when belief starts to shake/
A brother’s at his best moving mountains till they shift/

[Chorus]

& what about the times you give it your all & you still for short/
To what will you resort/
Of course we bounce back but there’s times the force of the smack tells us, we should abort/
In fact, a fair line between/
retract & react & the action of pride & the lack of a spleen/
what happens when pride & the passion of passive behavior/
Clash on the grasp of a dream on impact/
& sometimes letting go can be a savior/
At times holding on could end up being more labor/
So I’m cool when I don’t get the girl/
It’s when I’m shooting for the stars that I’ll probably hit the world/
Not bad for bad aim, if anything my shortcomings show that I have range & that’s real/
So I’ma leave it up to God & God will leave it up to Odd/
We’ll see what will happen, chill/
