Let It Go

I need some sleep It can't go on like this I tried countin' sheep But there's one I always miss Everyone says I'm getting down too low Everyone says You just gotta let it go You just gotta let it go You just gotta let it go To whom it may concern I wrote a letter today Just some thoughts without a voice there's nothing better to say Then I guess I'm doing all right but I struggle at times By trying to stay up out uh cell avoiding trouble with rhymes But sometimes I wanna stray and I'm just telling the truth And be a screw up like them days as a felon as youth And most nights I stay awake until they break into dawn And think about my future's fate it's like I'm waiting to yawn Although my body's feeling tired it's my mind that's awake And dwelling on my crazy past every single mistake I wish I would've done this I wish I would've done that And then maybe I wouldn't feel so stuck in a trap I should've took the right advice and ignored all the bad But now I see it's nothing nice paying up on the tab That I racked up through the years there's so much that I owe Ain't talking money talking tears battle scars left to show And not with foes all those times I was fighting myself And trying to go against the grain that's the way that I felt And all that anger and that pain in a ball of confusion But what really did I gain? Just a pause in my movement Wasted days and wasted nights I know many relate Off in suspension lost in time on a perilous wait But I just think about my life and all those things that I did And now before I go sleep I pray to god for my kids Cuz in the past it was so easy only worry was me But things are changing now believe me in no hurry to be Another year older like when I was as a teen It seems my dreams are growing colder passing time does its thing But I'm uh try real hard to put the setting on slow And keep myself up out the fast lane trying uh let it all go Another day above the ground it's one day at a time While trying to cope and hold it down without losing my mind I need some sleep It can't go on like this I tried countin' sheep But there's one I always miss Everyone says I'm getting down too low Everyone says You just gotta let it go You just gotta let it go You just gotta let it go To whom it may concern I guess I had to write more Another letter with no stamp no destination therefore I guess I'll send it in the wind and let it blow on the breeze In all directions over continents, rivers, oceans, and seas Until it finds its own way into the place it was meant And in that spot's where it can stay to maybe offer a hint That everybody's doing time and it's plain to see We're not alone in this all I'm just explaining to free All my words and my thoughts and make um able to reach And dig in deeper to those spots in the soul of the streets Cuz I'm there with you thinking if that person is you Awake at night can't sleep probably searching for truth Or any meaning to this life so it doesn't seem worthless I'm more leaning towards the light trying to make it my purpose Cuz I've had my fair share in a world full of darkness Shady faces fake smiles and I find it the hardest To relearn and rearrange and change that routine That I'm so used to that I know just wanna blow off some steam So I drink regrets mourning all my loved ones that passed And in my bed the next morning all hung over and trashed I see to drink ain't an answer or not even a drug But I just do it all again claiming it's what I love Now I've been trying real hard to clear these thoughts in my head And see the damage and the scars I've left behind when I've said Hurtful things drunken talk filled with anger and hate To all the one's that love me most hope it isn't too late Cuz some are gone but either way I'll say I'm letting um know I'll do my best to try to make it right and letting um go It's just so hard when I hear a song or look at their picture When you look into the past I guess that's when it all hits yuh Comin to a realization knowing life is too short So I hit the mothafuckin' booth and put the mic to record I need some sleep It can't go on like this I tried countin' sheep But there's one I always miss Everyone says I'm getting down too low Everyone says You just gotta let it go You just gotta let it go You just gotta let it go
