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
