Futuristic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mom told you to stay home, youโre determined to get go
Tryna see that older man, he got you sprung donโt he?
He hella fun, I bet he want to get you drunk donโt he?
Itโs cool until you say no and piss him off
And lock you in a room so none of your friends get involved
They probably think you in there being a slut
Thatโs how you depicted yourself and thatโs all that he want
Room is spinning and heโs touching you, you canโt control that
Hold back, nah, you canโt, off goes your pants
Damn, youโre doing just exactly what he planned
And then you wake up by yourself in the house, and everyoneโs sleeping
Your friends gone, and you ainโt got a car to leave with
That was three years ago, I know you tried to say no
But baby girl you gotta let it go
Cocaine on your nose
Mascara on your face
Your heart full of love
Your mind full of hate
You canโt let it go
You canโt let it go
You canโt let it go
You canโt let it go
Now I ainโt trying to downplay what you been through
But people been through worse
Some people dying from hunger
Some things canโt get reversed
You were on the right path until that night passed
Now you on drugs so far gone, itโs hard to get your life back
You was embarrassed to tell your parents what happened
Now they asking you questions, you snapped
They canโt imagine whatโs making you do that shit
You donโt care and thatโs apparent girl, you proved that shit
And I know you want revenge so bad
You been searching for his ass
But be real, what the fuck you gonโ do?
Because karmas a bitch, baby heโll get his
You better quit this shit, girl, and focus on you
โCause the best way to get a nigga back for holding you down
Is to make something of yourself and achieve your dreams
Put down that pipe, baby, wipe your eyes, I know itโs hard darling, listen to me
โCause I been jumped, I been beat up, and arrested for shit that I didnโt do
Kept my mouth shut โcause I knew I had something to lose
I moved into the hood with my mom and my little bro
I paid the bills at thirteen then I let it all go
Sold drugs to buy my clothes and a set of headphones
So that I could make music to give to you
And I wonโt tell you that itโs easy but believe me, you got so much more to do
Let it go, but itโs all on you
Itโs all on you
The song "Let It Go" by Futuristic details a young woman's struggles with sexual assault, substance abuse, and the desire for revenge. The first verse narrates her unfortunate experience of being locked up in a room by an older man who spikes her drink, and she wakes up, realizing she has been molested. Even though the event haunts her, she relives it daily, and her efforts to seek revenge leave her addicted to drugs. Futuristic recognizes her pain and tries to encourage her to move on from the past and look towards the future to overcome her struggles. He advises her to focus on herself instead of trying to take revenge and suggests that the best way to move past the trauma and difficult circumstances is to create a better life.
In the second verse, Futuristic acknowledges that the woman's experience was terrible, but he advises her to channel her energy into something positive, like pursuing her dreams. The mention of his struggles growing up, his music, and his ultimate decision to let it all go, encourages the woman to make something of herself and develop a new outlook towards life. The story is a sensitive examination not only of trauma but also of the aftermath of sexual violence and addiction, highlighting how the trauma from an assault can lead to dependence on drugs and ultimately wreck a person's life.
