Release It

[Intro] Can I take a second? To speak to you through me Cause I would love for you To speak to me through yourself But that's what we gotta do Release it Now [Verse 1] Give me a second and let me vent a little I promise I won't get mushy or sentimental I know this ride is temporary like I was in a rental Any resemblence to your life is just coincidental A real person will I be the true one? Grey hairs keep coming, everyday I spot and new one See when I was younger I was bad and wild Now that I'm older I kinda wish I woulda had a child I gotta be strong for others when they having trials So even when I'm feeling low, depressed or sad I smile And I ain't giving up so cancel that Used to only talk to myself but now I answer back Peep the game on how the devil do He try to get you for all your spiritual revenue Pushing you to be misguided and misdirected New problems popping up just like an instant message [Hook] Release it, let it go, it ain't good to hold it in [x3] Confession is medicine for the soul my friend [Verse 2] Let's take a journey through my mental maze, I'm the guide One time I quit rapping and started working nine to five Satisfied with being broke no longer 'bout my wealth Started to question who I was began to doubt myself Reduced the mediocrity so I drew the conclusion That doing music was a true convoluted illusion The foolish thought my gift was useless seems stupid but proven Failure to try to learn the truth is the root of confusion A voice spoke to me in anger asking, "What you doing?" You should be moving towards your goal, how come you not pursuing? You supposed to mash, fight the past, hustle like yo dad Get off ya ass and do it fast' I said alright my bad I started mashing hard and turning back was never mentioned Been self-controlled and independent ever since then My dream I was wasting it cause I was scared of chasing it Having fear ain't the problem the problem's never facing it [Hook x2] [Verse 3] My woman curses me deservingly Which discourages and worries me because we're not communicating verbally And even though she means the world to me It now nervously occurs to me that she currently might not be the girl for me Am I flawed in my actions? Obviously I know my own philosophy is filled with double standards and hypocrisy But despite this dichotomy I strive to be Real with those who real with me, and try to be the best person that I can be My greatest quality is self-motivation I'm the product of the wildest streets and that's the side of me I show the nation I seen it all I've been defenseless, afraid But at a early age I grew out of my sensitive stage Now I'm grown and I'm still standing strong nothing's scaring me If you gotta cry, go ahead and cry tears are therapy I promise whatever you going through will be done in time Keeping it in ain't never good, say what's on your mind [Hook x2]
