Let Go Lyrics

Beware of niggas claiming that they're dogs when they just bark a lot

Real G's move in silence and y'all talk a lot

Environment's products so niggas ain't trynna talk it out

Got a problem? they yelling meet me out in the parking lot

Summer time vibes city go nuts just like the pecans

And bullets shut the party down way before police can

Now the street corner's a house of balloons on every weekend (Weeknd)

Yeah death came way too soon now mama grieving

Asking God why while crying and hugging deacons

Her other son out for revenge he filled with demons

Like why couldn't this rose make it up from the cement

And why that night all I can see when I be dreaming

Questions unanswered in the immediate

Now he in the streets moving weight he so expedient

But he don't follow codes he got problems with obedience

He feel like niggas ain't bout they bread just like they celiac

Hot head lil nigga cause his heart full of pain

No therapy open wounds life done made him this way

So fuck it hostility running all through his veins

Smoking daily convincing himself that he ain't going insane

One night

Heard from a birdie about his brother

Said she knew who the killer was and where that nigga slumbers

He gets his nut off hops up and throws off the covers

Heads to his car tool on his waist just like the plumber

Pulling up nervous but angry trying to remember

To stay calm he reached and grabbed the mask from up under

The seat put it on lights off he's with his lover

Drove by hit him perfect pass just like a cutter

Sirens flashing he sees one and then another

Ain't going down speeds off and gets hit by a trucker

Phone vibrating missed calls all from his mother

She left a voicemail screaming that she finally hit her number

Damn

How long til we let go

How long til we let go

Cause our stories never get told

And niggas never get old

How long til we let go

How long til we let go

Cause our stories never get told

And niggas never get old

Beware of people who be giving praise but still be gossipping

Trying to form weapons again you when you prospering

Not there when you need them but always there for the offering

Of advice good and bad they think they softening

The blow of having to bury two sons in the same year

Knowing God made the rules but feeling He don't play fair

Like how I'm supposed to enjoy this money when my sons ain't here

And how I'ma tell they daughters they daddies forever lay here

Can't help but to feel that I may be the one to blame

Like shit would have been different if I made more of yall games

Instead of working overtime so we had a place to stay

Did jumping round from home to home lead to this house of pain

Nah fuck that! I did the best that I could

Had to nurture and provide don't know if y'all understood

that I gave y'all boys every ounce of strength in my bones

I gave y'all all my heart, all my mind, and all my soul

Everything

I taught y'all everything I've ever known

About surviving in a world where they don't want to see you grow

To be the stars that you were finna be

And now that y'all are gone I swear it's killing me

But they can't see it cause strength is all a mother shows

Covering struggle with smiles is all yo mother knows

Tears on this paper tired of wiping I just let em flow

And save a couple for the end to seal the envelope

Before I go

And leave these letters on y'all grave

Want to leave y'all with a promise that I'll never break

I love you and I'll never let y'all daughters feel ashamed

For not having y'all and not hearing y'all say they names

I'll be there for em pick up whenever they calling

Make sure they know they daddies loved them be there when they falling

And I'll make sure that y'all names are forever exalted

And give my life to make sure y'all kids live longer than y'all did

Bye
