Let It Go
Futuristic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You dwelling on one night, rain pouring down your window
Mom told you to stay home, youโ€™re determined to get go
Tryna see that older man, he got you sprung donโ€™t he?
He hella fun, I bet he want to get you drunk donโ€™t he?
Itโ€™s 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
Thatโ€™s how you depicted yourself and thatโ€™s all that he want
He slipped something in your drink, your eyes roll back
Room is spinning and heโ€™s touching you, you canโ€™t control that
Hold back, nah, you canโ€™t, off goes your pants
Damn, youโ€™re doing just exactly what he planned
And then you wake up by yourself in the house, and everyoneโ€™s sleeping
Your friends gone, and you ainโ€™t 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 canโ€™t let it go
You canโ€™t let it go
You canโ€™t let it go
You canโ€™t let it go

Now I ainโ€™t trying to downplay what you been through
But people been through worse
Some people dying from hunger
Some things canโ€™t get reversed
You were on the right path until that night passed
Now you on drugs so far gone, itโ€™s hard to get your life back
You was embarrassed to tell your parents what happened
Now they asking you questions, you snapped
They canโ€™t imagine whatโ€™s making you do that shit
You donโ€™t care and thatโ€™s 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 heโ€™ll get his
You better quit this shit, girl, and focus on you
โ€˜Cause 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 itโ€™s hard darling, listen to me
โ€˜Cause I been jumped, I been beat up, and arrested for shit that I didnโ€™t do
Kept my mouth shut โ€˜cause 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 wonโ€™t tell you that itโ€™s easy but believe me, you got so much more to do




Let it go, but itโ€™s all on you
Itโ€™s all on you

Overall Meaning

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.

[Verse 1]
You dwelling on one night, rain pouring down your window
Mom said to stay home, you're determined to get go
Tryna see that older nigga, he got you sprung, don't he?
He hella fun, I bet he want to get you drunk don't he?
It's cool until you say no and piss him off
He locked you in a room, so none of your friends get involved
They probably think you in there being a slut
That's how you depicted yourself and that's all that he want
He slipped something in your drink, your eyes roll back
Room is spinning and he's touching you, you can't control that
Hold back, nah, you can't, off goes your pants
Damn, you're doing just exactly what he planned
And then you wake up by yourself
In the house and everyone's sleeping
Your friends gone and you ain't 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

[Hook]
Cocaine on your nose, mascara on your face
Your heart full of love, your mind full of hate
You can't let it go [4x]

[Verse 2]
Now, I ain't tryna downplay what you been through
But people been through worse
Some people dying from hunger
Some things can't get reversed
You were on the right path, until that night passed
Now you on drugs, so far gone, it's hard to get your life back
You was embarrassed, to tell your parents what happened
Now they asking you questions and you snapping
They can't imagine, what's making you do that shit
You don't care and that's 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 gon' do?
Because karma's a bitch, baby he'll get his
You better quit this shit, girl and focus on you
Cause 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 it's hard darling, listen to me, cause I been jumped
I been beat up and arrested for shit that I didn't do
Kept my mouth shut, cause 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 I could make music to give to you
And I won't tell you that it's easy, but believe me
You got so much more to do
Let it go, but it's all on you, it's all on you...
