Let It Go - Substantial

I can’t hold back I gotta let it go

Held on for too long I gotta let it go

If I don’t find my way then I’ll never know

Who I am truly let the beat move me

Then I’ll go where it takes me

Releasing all the shit I’ve been holding in lately

At this rate see fam it’s bound to break me

Mess around and give new meaning to crazy

And lately I’ve been dwelling on this fact

Discovering new ways to keep my sanity in tact

I can’t get back to carefree living

Rent’s thirteen plus a month where we’re living

So kids right now is a scary vision

With my income support I’ll barely give them

Afraid at times but strength’s rarely missing

I crave to shine although every prison’s

A bit over-crowed they’ll make an exception

For a brother my size about my complexion

Hell no Cuz that’s out of the question

Though I’m often stressed and I fight with depression

I realized life is a lesson I don’t always

Like where I’m heading so I write with aggression

Hard to be polite when you’re stressing

Not a thing’s P.C.

about my a-alikes and my brethren

Made the mic our weapon found peace on loose leaf

Classics manufactured on no more than two sheets

I black out on bright white for you chief

And rap ‘bout how this trife life is too deep

It’s an ancient epic not a news brief

Same shit under the sun just a new thief

Man I gotta get it together handle my business

Maybe if I handled it better they couldn’t steal this

God given talent that I’ve taken for granted

Still no call backs labels making me panic

All the while black trying to chase this and manage

A relationship avoiding heartache and damage

To my soul damn it does a number to my spirit

So I cry out in pain knowing someone will hear it

If I don’t dumb down will they run from my lyrics

My fear is some will shun the things I hold dearest

So hear this from now on letting it all go

Like there’s no tomorrow ‘fore I drown in a bottle

Of top shelf liq' with a twist of my sorrow

If I finish it all yo we’ll both be hollow

Life is what you make it is the motto I follow

Hard to slow your roll when you’ve been living full throttle

Trying to make my dreams manifest but it’s hard though

Feel like I got a better chance at hitting the lotto

See the blood sweat and tears staining my cargos

From slaying fans waving hands screaming out bravo

And encore like Jay — 26th letter

Glad you think I’m dope but I’m trying to get better

Some think I’m barely scratching the surface

And I’ve probably held back in over half of the verses

I’ve ever written and I probably shouldn’t spit’em

‘Cause that’s about as pointless as watered down venom

You should feel it in your heart and veins when it’s in them

But it seems it’s barely felt when the aim was to kill them so I…

I’ll go where it takes me, take me home Burns

I’ll go where it takes me, take me home

I’ll go where it takes me, take me home God

I’ll go where it takes me, take me home

I’ll go where it takes me, take me home Lord

I’ll go where it takes me, take me home

Take, take me home, Take, take me home

Take, take me home, Take, take me home… Let It Go
