Let Go - SiR, D Smoke

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, motherfucka?

Send me the link, I’ll check into your room motherfucka

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

We need to let go (nah, bro, we done let go one too many times, my n***a)

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 test 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 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
