LYRICS

CHORUS

I'm letting go of holding onto dreams
I made it to the other side and grass wasn't green
And I'm letting go of pain in my mind
Was holding onto memories and holding onto time
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
I'm letting go, it's time to let it go
I'm letting go, time to let it go
Now I'm letting go and I finally let it go


VERSE 1

Looking at the blackboard, I was blinded by the glare
Of thousand yard stares from kids dying to touch my hair
I didn't dare talk to the rich girls, my skin wasn't fair
I finally learned a lesson that the world wasn't fair
It's where, people sum up your life based on clothes you wear
Like when the kids saw my glasses, they labeled me square
Wasn't scared of the monsters, my fear was laying it bare
But if my heart gets broken, I don't know if there's one to spare
With student fare in my pockets, I faired back to the hood
With despair in my subconscious, I was too misunderstood
Couldn't see beyond the buildings with my face against the glass
Of the train as it passed, all I smelled was the ash
Cigarettes and trash make me feel like I’m at war
And if there's one thing for sure, there's a fire in my core
No one can tell me what's in store, so I'll have to trust
For that one day I'll lust, till then I guess I'll just let it go


CHORUS x 1


VERSE 2

Confined to living in the margins, slowly grew my rage
When I heard stories about the marches that were never on the page
It set the stage, for an age where I was headed to a stretcher
My way to relieve pressure, swim at a community center
Lights dim as I entered, I could smell the black and milds
From a girl by the pool who couldn't seem to crack a smile
And while I played it cool, I asked her what was up
Told me she's waiting on a trial, her father just got locked up
It was abrupt, it happened when he was coming back from lunch
When he was stopped by two cops, their only evidence a hunch
Evident he threw no punch but they had his arm twisted
Charged him with resistance, then had his ribs kicked in
And as I listened, I just thought about the innocent
One catalyst away from being militant
But layers never peel when they tell us it isn't real
So now I'm letting go so I can show 'em how I feel


CHORUS x 1


VERSE 3

Under a gritty streetlight, it was hard to see the stars
On a city night with jailed and free both roaming the bars
Bearing scars of my bloodline, the ether was in my vein
Sustained by the whiskey, my potential still remained
Was standing in the rain, I saw my driver arrive
I hopped inside and we started to chat throughout the ride
He sighed, then told me that he does his work with pride
But he's sick of people telling him that he has to pick a side

"You'd be surprised, to find I'm really down with the cause
But can't afford to strike a company never follows any laws"

Then he paused, he looked outside and pointed to the tents
Housed along a fence, was the place of the homeless

"Now, I don't wanna vent about people who couldn't pay the rent
But the reason they don't make dollars is because they're making sense
And if you had any sense, you would keep hustling to get by
Cause guys like you and me, we lose more when we ask why"


CHORUS x 1


OUTRO

And now I'm letting go and I'm finally letting go
And now I'm letting go and I'm finally letting go

I'm singing
Can you believe, can you believe us?
Can you believe, can you believe us?
Can you believe, can you believe us?
Can you believe, can you believe in us?
