Lyrics

Why you holding on You don't need that They just feeding BS super strong You don't eat that They telling you that you is on your own You believe that You get everything you ever want You can see that But you feeling stripped cuz yo grip gripped tight Now that grip is a fist, all you wanna do is fight So your work don't work and your worth won't rise You think you just 'bout your money, but you want what it can't buy You can never sit alone cuz them voices so live But you always on your own cuz you pushed 'em all aside At least that's what you see when you look through closed eyes Having a bad past contest like you 'bout to win a prize, like I had it worse, no I had it worse Naw man, I had it worse Ummmm Let go You only scared cuz they told you you should be You only there cuz they told you they would be Why don't you care at what I told you you could be Why you prepared for everywhere but where the good be Yo life is like what you know you not gone like But you must like it cuz you recite it every night like it's on mics It's like you chained to what you foster It's like yo brain is your impostor It's like you glory in your story like your pain's your badge of honor Let go Why do you stay here Let's go Why do you play here Let's grow Why do you not do you Instead dwell in the hell that you lived through Uh, that's old Remember, only the weak have enemies And the strong have inner peace Only the weak have enemies And the strong have inner peace Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go, ay ay What you holding on to Guilt, pain, shame man that's what you don't do, naw Ay, what you holding on for Is pain what you wanna be known for Man Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Ay, thinking that you woke but you still tired Wanting God to take the wheel but you still drive With yo half full glasses are you still blind Yeah you look good but do you feel fine, ay Yeah you look good but do you feel mine It's yours, nothing is forced Making these judgments 'bout life, who's your source Feeling all mighty now you're like, ooh Lord I need a victory But let me ask you Who are you without your history Man Everything is, nothing was Created by, with, and for love One more time Everything is, nothing was Created by, with, and for love Let go
