Let It Go

Yeah, one two, one two, uh
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 and I whistle as the gal walk 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 whatever, I'm never one to listen
I ventured in the woods, other people wouldn't dare
Entitled like I'm rich so I always thought I could
In a world not a care when you're filled with ambition
Following the trails 'til the cities made of myths
Legendary tales took me there to make a hit
I got up to the door when I wasn't on the list
Opportunity was scrutiny, 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

You got to let it go
Sometimes you got these problems on your mind
And you should always know
And people will tell you you'll solve 'em, you'll be fine
But I don't believe that
You see that's a way of being lazy
If you want it, gotta get it
If confronted, then you quit it
Then you're nothing but a victim in a system that we live in
But forgiven if you wanna try again

I'm a man of faith, but I'm not a man that waits
I don't plan on faith, 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 'em back, I don't ditch
Folding under pressure, carry more than I can take
Knees buckled from the weight, never sore from the lift
Never came to grips with the fact that I gotta sit back
With the cards I was dealt when I play
I want a better hand so I'm putting mine together
Now to the sky with the plans that I make
This strength been given, I'll be damned if I break
This brings up the wrongs that are weakest when I'm clever
In my twelfth hour when my mom start to pray
It's fifteen tears, still trying to persist
About a minute left when belief start to shake
A brother at his best, move the mountains 'til they shift

You got to let it go
Sometimes you got these problems on your mind
And you should always know
And people will tell you you'll solve 'em, you'll be fine
But I don't believe that
You see that's a way of being lazy
If you want it, gotta get it
If confronted, then you quit it
Then you're nothing but a victim in a system that we live in
But forgiven if you wanna try again

You got to let it go
You know
And you should always know
Yeah
That you'll be fine, just fine
Just fine, just fine, just fine
Oh yeah

And what about the times you give it your all
And you still fall short, then what will you resort?
Course we bounce back
But there's times the force of the smack tells us we should abort
In fact, the thin line between retract and react
And the action of pride and the lack of a spleen
And what happens colliding with passion and passive behavior
Can clash, gonna grasp what the dream will impact
And it seems letting go could be a savior
At times holding on can end up being more labor
So I'm cool when I don't get the girl
When I'm shooting for the stars that'll probably hit the world
It's not bad for bad aim
If anything, my shortcomings show that I have range and that's real
I'ma leave it up to God, gotta leave it up to Odd
We'll see what'll happen, chill

You got to let it go
Sometimes you got these problems on your mind
And you should always know
And people will tell you you'll solve 'em, you'll be fine
But I don't believe that
You see that's a way of being lazy
If you want it, gotta get it
If confronted, then you quit it
Then you're nothing but a victim in a system that we live in
