LetitBe
Dyme Def Lyrics

When I find myself in times of trouble
During difficult moments when I'm feeling lost or overwhelmed

Mother Mary comes to me
Finding comfort in a maternal figure or higher power

Speaking words of wisdom
Offering guidance or insight based on experience or intuition

Let it be
Allowing things to unfold naturally without resistance

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Repeating the idea of acceptance and surrender

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Continuing to seek guidance or reassurance in difficult times

A victim of the man
Being harmed or oppressed by a person in power

That substitutes his mouth for his hands
Using words instead of physical aggression to intimidate or control

So when he talks, you hear a blam, damn
Feeling the impact of his words and the tension they create

My mom should be the father figure
Taking on both parental roles due to an absent or abusive father

And he'll leave with some bottled liquor
Abandoning the family while coping through substance abuse

But my mom never stopped the nigga
Continuing to tolerate or make excuses for the father's behavior

Until he'll pop for a quickie
Confronting him only when he becomes physically violent

Then she'll call for the cops to get him
Involving law enforcement to protect herself and her children

And I'm like one, two, one, two is this mic on?
Using music or art to express frustration and anger

'Cause y'all ain't feeling the song
Feeling unsupported or unheard in personal struggles

What I'm feeling is wrong
Questioning the validity or acceptability of one's emotions

Hey, Dad, you ain't still in the wrong
Addressing unresolved issues with a father figure

But a young man's aging and you still ain't called
Feeling abandoned or neglected by an absent parent

I'm so stressed that I really need a plaque
Craving recognition or validation for accomplishments or struggles

And I cherish my mom, and it's nice to you, Black
Expressing love and appreciation for a supportive mother figure or friend

I'm sorry, D-Black, you might have lost your mom
Acknowledging someone else's pain or trauma

But you gained a family in return and you learn
Finding support and connection with others who have experienced loss

You can always let it be, but you never let it burn
Finding a balance between accepting and addressing painful experiences

I'm just hoping it won't be my turn
Worrying about experiencing similar loss or trauma in the future

So let it go like,
Encouraging oneself to release negative emotions or thoughts

See, now on a different note, she's singing
Shifting attention to a different situation or issue

But I'm hearing different notes with every different quote
Struggling to understand or communicate with a partner or loved one

I'm tryin' tell her I love her but she don't listen
Expressing affection or concern to someone who seems disinterested or distant

And when I try to spend time, she ends up missing
Encountering barriers to communication or connection with a partner

The only thing that's stopping me from cheating
Facing temptation or temptation in a relationship

Is the only thing that's stopping her from leaving (Love)
Feeling constrained or motivated by the fear of losing a partner

But I don't know if that's there anymore
Doubting the stability or authenticity of a romantic relationship

'Cause I find myself staring at whores
Giving into sexual temptation or objectifying others

And she finds herself closer to doors
Considering ending or leaving the relationship

So how can that work?
Questioning the feasibility or sustainability of a troubled relationship

But this ain't even the song
Acknowledging that personal struggles or relationship issues may not fit neatly into a song or artistic expression

This is just for you to hear what's wrong
Using music or art as a platform for self-expression and vulnerability

That's what I'm telling my mom
Seeking support or understanding from a maternal or parental figure

But she knew all along (Why can't we all get along?)
Recognizing that a mother figure may have greater insight or knowledge about personal struggles, while also expressing a desire for peace or resolution

Stuck on a he said, she said, I said, you said
Feeling trapped or overwhelmed by conflicting narratives or communication breakdowns

I'm so confused I think I didn't say it
Experiencing self-doubt or confusion in communication with others

Got a tight grip but I might slip
Holding onto emotions or situations tightly, but feeling at risk of losing control

It's funny how life hits
Reflecting on the unpredictable or difficult nature of life

'Cause Cupid just might miss
Expressing a sense of pessimism or skepticism about romantic relationships or love

I'm at a point in my life
Reflecting on a particular phase or stage in life

That the main issue is trying to have a joint in my life
Struggling with addiction or substance abuse as a primary concern

They point at my life and laugh
Feeling embarrassed or judged by others for personal struggles or shortcomings

See, I got two jobs and I'm still broke
Working hard and struggling financially despite effort and dedication

See, I got bad asthma and I still smoke
Struggling to quit smoking despite health issues or concerns

The doctor tellin' me that my breathing's getting worse
Facing negative consequences for continued smoking or health issues

And soon I won't be able to spit a verse, now I'm feeling cursed
Recognizing that personal struggles or addictions may sabotage creative or professional pursuits

No turning to my dad 'cause he's too far to look for
Lacking support or guidance from a distant or absent father figure

So instead I look forward, but I don't look forward to seeing him
Focusing on personal growth or future goals, while also feeling ambivalent or apprehensive about a potential reunion with a father figure

At nights I still have bad dreams of being him
Experiencing trauma or negative memories related to a father figure

People say, "You look just like your dad
Receiving comments or comparisons to a father figure, whether positive or negative

You got his laugh, you got his walk, you got his talk."
Noticing similarities or inherited traits from a father figure

But I don't got his heart
Distinguishing oneself from a problematic or absent father figure in terms of character or values

No, I'm much stronger
Asserting personal strength, resilience, or perseverance in spite of familial struggles or hardships

My armor is tough for Hussein to drop a bomb on it
Feeling strong or impervious to external threats or obstacles

The enemy is really myself
Recognizing that personal struggle or self-sabotage may be the biggest obstacle to success or happiness

The enemy is really what made me help somebody out
Finding meaning or purpose in helping others, even in the midst of personal struggles or obstacles
