Let Go - August Greene, Common, Karriem Riggins

There’s places I go I can’t tell you about

There’s things I have done I can’t carry around

I need to let go, I need to let go

Sittin' in the shadow of me, gradually battlin' me

A fall from grace like Adam and Eve

Search for the inner-Vatican in me

The temple, the body, I’m mental, I’m godly

Somehow I made my mess-ups my hobby

Is it the stress and the pressure?

Probably

Out here with much anger inside me

Don’t know who my friends are, stranger inside me

Stranger things, gettin' high clipped off my angel wings

Thought I was gonna fly when Obama became the king

Pain and disdain are the rings that I wear

It’s just the price of life when things ain’t as fair

To pay dues and you still owe something on em

When you bruised and they still want something from you

Run through my mind, trippin' over time

It’s moving faster than me, haphazardly

So much drive that I crashed into me

Father, will time be my last enemy?

What will my soul be worth when you cash in on me?

I’m bent, prayin' on passionate knee

There’s places I go I can’t tell you about

There’s things I have done I can’t carry around

I need to let go, I need to let go

In a state, in a place

Whatever worth I get appraised

Don’t wanna wait for Heaven’s gates

A hellish thing is too much weight

I need to let go, I need to let go

The best souls reach thresholds and can’t let go

Empty room, wishin' for a miracle to echo

In my mind, I hear times can stay ghetto

Born rebel, havin' my own inner-Aleppo

Saved by the blood then I should be a vessel

Just another Jacob, with God I wrestle

I deal with the Devil, temptations

Tryin' to get the spirit right, reflection’s in the way

How many lessons in a day do I need

Before I get on my demons, see the fruits of my seed?

It was written I read, I keep gettin' Rocky’d

In a fight with my mind, from these decisions, I bleed

I’m supposed to go high when they go low

I forget the big picture and snap like a photo

Solo in a crowded room, seein' myself like a powder room

In my eyes clouds of doubt and gloom

Between me and the sun, it’s weed in a gun

I yell freedom cause I’m free to be dumb

When it’s all done, will I have heaven’s dress code

And been able to let God and let go?

There’s places I go I can’t tell you about

There’s things I have done I can’t carry around

I need to let go, I need to let go

In a state, in a place

Whatever worth I get appraised

Don’t wanna wait for Heaven’s gates

A hellish thing is too much weight

I need to let go, I need to let go
