Have you ever loved something, or someone, so much that you cry? And if you had that something, or that someone, you know it'd change your whole life But maybe that someone wasn't meant for you That something wasn't sent for you How you know...? If you don't let it go? (Let it go, let it go) Staring at blue lines in my rhyme book Contemplating if I'm ready to give up The only thing that frees me (yeah) Cause I'm free when my pen bleeding Cause if it wasn't for this music shit I probably wouldn't be a free citizen A 9 to 5 won't do it (though I'm grateful) I know it won't build wealth for generations Every day I wake, I gotta pray up In the back of my head hear granny saying: "Baby, don't worry your time coming" Well, can it hurry? Cause I'm hungry I'm tired of walking around steady smiling And on the inside feel like I'm dying I'm crying when I'm by myself So if you need me I'll be in my shell Have you ever loved something, or someone, so much that you cry? And if you had that something, or that someone, you know it'd change your whole life But maybe that someone wasn't meant for you That something wasn't sent for you How you know...? If you don't let it go? (Let it go, let it go) Have you ever loved something, or someone, so much that you cry? And if you had that something, or that someone, you know it'd change your whole life But maybe that someone wasn't meant for you That something wasn't sent for you How you know...? If you don't let it go? (Let it go, let it go) I deal with my own problems Holding pain till I go numb But conversations with Mama Reminding me that I'm stronger Than all the people who doubted me and Was using me to their benefit And all the women that did me in Made me fall in love, just the Reel me in Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Mmm mmmm Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Ohh Ohh
