Let It Go

(Let it go) in Jesus' mighty name
(Let it go) whatever it is you're holding on to
Trust God, in every situation, yes (ooh, ooh)
(Let it go) thank You, Lord
We surrender to You, Holy Spirit (let it go)
Listen

Silent echos whisper in the hallway
Beer bottles scattered in a place, they partied all day
The wrong companion to be around when you are hurting see
When misery love company, temptation is always flirting
How can you lead the block if you can't even lead yourself?
How can you feed the flock if you can't even feed yourself?
Off in the city where there is nothing but drug deals
Where heathens and thugs kill, and innocent blood spills

I blame Satan for his hatred and deception
It's time we change directions and get free from his oppression
Only the blood of Christ can cover your transgressions
Only the love of Christ can show you what's refreshing
Hey, moder music, that's the message in these streets now
I'm persecuted for my faith and beliefs, look
Before the verdict, I just want my chance to speak
See for me to die is gain, that's why I give my soul to keep

(What good is it) to gain this world and lose your soul?
You know everything that glitters (it ain't gold)
You gotta let it go (let it go)
Let it go (let it go)
Whatever this world's got to offer (you gotta let it go)
Let it go (you gotta let it go, let it go), (yeah, c'mon) oh

Yeah, roaches and rats, toasters where the sulfur is at (huh-huh)
It's so bad the whole pad smells like Folgers and crack
Soldiers in black, patrolling the trap
They quick to come up off the holster, put a hole through a hat
No emotional slack, they murder enemies and toast to the fact (they murder enemies)
Hell is deep and they done tossed another ghost in the gap
Got it cracking like Baltimore, Maryland with the heroine
The blow gold, but they pay the most for the smack (huh-huh)

The situation ain't hopeful for blacks, look how we quick to kill our brethren
Just to throw some rubber bands over some stacks
I know you give the love that most of us lack
Though it's strayin', Lord, I'm praying that You could chauffeur us back
This is why I spit the truth over some wax (huh-huh)
Stand against whatever is holding us back
I feel like Moses because I'm chosen for that
You ain't a slave if your soul is intact, just let it go
And He'll give you the royal robe from His back, c'mon

(What good is it) to gain this world and lose your soul?
You know everything that glitters (it ain't gold)
You gotta let it go (let it go)
Let it go (let it go)
Whatever this world's got to offer (you gotta let it go)
Let it go (you gotta let it go), yeah let it go

I ain't gon' lie, I had some evil days
To the point that I used to be enraged
But I didn't pick up my bible, 'cause weed was my idol
Used to smoke it just to ease the pain
When I came down, it felt just the same
It's a diary of a sinner man
I hope you got a little time and make no dinner plans
I'm strengthening my inner-man, and in advance I'm telling you
That there's gon' be a lot of hate along the way, but it's gon' better you

I'm betting you're better than you could ever think
'Cause you were made in His image and that's enough for me
So, now everything I do, is the Spirit that dwells within me
I know Satan out here hating, send demons to come and get me
But my brothers and sisters are living witness to the business of serving in it
No more sinning, just prayer and holy living
To be forgiven for everything I did is a blessing
No more smoking and toting guns now I'm just preaching His message

(What good is it) to gain this world and lose your soul?
You know everything that glitters (it ain't gold)
You gotta let it go (let it go)
Let it go (let it go)
Whatever this world's got to offer (you gotta let it go)
Let it go (you gotta let it go), yeah, let it go

Let it go, oh
Let it go
Let it go

I'm reaching out with both hands, Jesus come and save us
Time don't wait for no man, and death don't have no favorites
Hey, please forgive me for my ignorant thinking
It's been two years without my brother and I still ain't done grieving

Nah, it's Satan telling me it's time to get even
But I'm releasing forgiveness because forgiveness defeats them
I think of Jesus, how He suffered the beating
How He was murdered and tortured, how He was killed for no reason
I know I'm here for a reason, see it could've been both of us
At nights when I be hurting sometimes, I wish it could be both of us

Hey, Father stay close to us, protecting and holding us
I pray that I'm bold enough, man, when evil's opposing us
I'm trying to show you what your faith looks like
I couldn't care less about your comments, or your Facebook likes
And we all know that death is apart of life
Maybe then you might be grateful and check if your heart is right

(What good is it) to gain this world and lose your soul?
You know everything that glitters (it ain't gold)
You gotta let it go (let it go)
Let it go (let it go)
Whatever this world's got to offer (you gotta let it go)
Let it go (you gotta let it go), oh, let it go

Let it go, oh
Let it go
Let it go
