Don't Let Go

When I was 16 thought by now that I woulda made it Now look at my life and I wonder if imma make it I told everybody by now I'd be tasting greatness Now I see they faces its hard for me to just face it And I try to talk to God and he tell me that it takes patience but it's hard To sit here waiting when mama got rent need paying Hard to help somebody when you the one that need saving So girl I need your hug and your embrace That's why it's hard to let go I give my heart and my soul The world done turned yo Boy cold Colder than the wind and the snow Walking down this yellow brick road Lost and I can't find my way home My shoes just fall apart at the sole Girl I need your heart don't let go Don't let go bae I got tired of everyone telling me what I oughtta be Telling me i can't and then telling me what I gotta be And it be all the people the ones who spose to be proud of me Little did they know I'm the ticket I'm talking lottery That's cause I'm the greatest you know that I say it audibly Imma be the one who gone take my people out poverty But they see that I'm different be treating me like an oddity Yall too busy focusing on stopping me It's hard to let go I give my heart and my soul The world done turned yo Boy cold Colder than the wind and the snow Walking down this yellow brick road Lost and I can't find my way home My shoes just fall apart at the sole Girl I need your heart don't let go Don't let go bae Last night I called my mama I told her that we gone make I talked to my daughter I told her that we gone make it Shout out to the guys know I told em that we gone make it Shout out Doris drive just a minute and we gone make it Shout out to MZ know that Nigga is something dangerous Told him when I make it promise that I ain't changing Only thing that change is I get more bold and more flagrant I spit it from the heart I don't do this for entertainment No I do this for my niggas who stuck working night and dayshift Had to get it out the mud just to eat like a pig in blanket Maybe get it off the muscle don't stretch and you end up straining And When you tell em bout your struggle they tell you to quit complaining Would hate to burst your bubble it pop cause I gotta bang it Poke my chest out when I walk so nobody knows I'm in pain You know it hurts when you just lock all these thoughts up inside your brain but They don't listen when I talk that's why i sang that It gets hard to let go I give my heart and my soul The world done turned yo Boy cold Colder than the wind and the snow Walking down this yellow brick road Lost and I can't find my way home My shoes just fall apart at the sole Girl I need your heart don't let go Don't let go bae
