Let's Go
J. Shep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooooh no no no no
Ooooh no no no no

Holding on to old shit got me with my head down
Tears falling down my face
And I can't make a sound
And I'd put it on my soul
But I gotta let it go go go go go go go go
I gotta let it go go go go go go go go
I gotta let it go

A nigga head bowed with my eyes close
Man the lord knows I been praying
Time ticking and my mind slipping
Man the Lord knows I been patient
People changing and the seasons changes
Said it's all apart of the phases
I just hope it don't faze me
Hit the gas and I break it
My mama she calling me
I don't want nobody talk to me
Feel like these niggas be watching me
Location off ain't no drop on me
Took off my watch ain't no clocking me
Gotta get this hold up off of me
Move on my own get the glock on me
Feel like JB got the block on me
I'm moving foolish I know I look stupid
But we had to do this you know what you choosing
You turned yo back and I turned to the music
Gave you the blueprint but you acted clueless
Say keep it tight but you getting real loose with it
Fuck the instructions I know what to do with it
Yeah I know what to do with it
Yeah, uh

I gotta let it go
If I wanna free myself, I gotta take control
They say let me drive the boat, I gotta make it home
Gotta get back to myself and do this on my own
No no
Nonono no no no no no nono
Nonono no no no no no no

Take the chains off, let the pain calm
Said it get a little damp when the rain stop
The trouble'll be all over when the rays come
The blessing always better when you wait on em
Nobody understand what you wait on
Especially when they ain't the ones that prayed for em
Niggas really don't be praying for you
Niggas really don't be praying for you
Temporary fixes never solve the issues
Still fucked up pulling out the tissues
War going on tryna dodge the missiles
Wasn't tryna fight against you I been with you
Tried to reel you in but I couldn't get you
Hands started slipping when I tried to grip you
Finally said fuck it and I dropped the issue
Damn

I gotta let it go
If I wanna free myself, I gotta take control
They say let me drive the boat, I gotta make it home
Gotta get back to myself and do this on my own
No no





I gotta let it go go go go go go go go
I gotta let it go go go go go go go go
