Let It Go

[Verse 1: Oddisee] I was never one to let thangs go easy believe me I wish I could let it all fly I know it's not classy but when life pass me I stare and I whistle as the gal walk by My mother taught me better She learned it from the hood "No bother chasing gold be complacent with the wood" But I was like whatever I'm never one to listen I ventured in the woods other people wouldn't dare Entitled like I'm rich so I always thought I could In a world not a care when you're filled with ambition Following the trails to the cities made of myths Legendary tales took me there to make a hit I got up to the door but I wasn't on the list Opportunity was school seem I'm soon to be dismissed But I was on a mission so I was like yeah I'm kind of a big deal let me in I got a gift [Hook: Oddisee] (You've got to let it go) Sometimes you got these problems on your mind (And you should always know) And people will tell you, you'll solve 'em you'll be fine (That you'll be fine, just fine, just fine, just fine, just fine) But I don't believe that See that's a way of being lazy If you want it got to get it If confronted and you quit it Then you're nothing but a victim In a system that we living But forgiven if you want to start again [Verse 2: Oddisee] I'm a man of faith but I'm not a man who waits I don't plan on fate I plan on me to make a plate In other words I don't bitch I never walk away When things fall apart I build them back I don't ditch Folding under pressure carry more than I can take Knees buckle from the weight never sore from the lift Never came to grips with the fact that I gotta sit back With the cards I was dealt when I play I want a better hand so I'm putting mine together Down to the sky with the plans that I make It's strength been given I'll be damned if I break It's brains over brawn and I'm weakest when I'm clever In my twelve hour when my moms start to pray It's fifteen ticks still trying to assist About a minute left when my legs start to shake A brother at his best moving mountains till they shift [Hook] [Verse 3: Oddisee] And what about the times you give it your all And you still fall short to what will you resort Of course we bounce back But there's times divorce the smack tells us We should abort in fact thin line between Retract and react into action The pride and the lack of the spleen And what happens colliding with passion And passive behavior can clasp of a grasp of a dream or impact And it seems letting go can be a savior At times holding on can end up being more labor So I'm cool when I don't get the girl When I'm shooting for the stars that will probably hit the world It's not bad for bad aim if anything short comes Show that I have range and that's real I'mma leave it up to god god leave it up to I We'll see what will happens [Hook]
