Let It Go
Jaheim (Featuring Castro) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
So you want drama huh?
We can do this
Well well well well well
I heard you've been poppin lip
Talking slick
If you want it you can get it we can handle this
My shorty keep telling me you're stressing her out
You need to relax before I go up in ???
I'm not the one to be played with
Your loose-ass lips will get your dome split
You're getting me steamed and you don't want to do that
You mess around and make me have to wile out and snap
Chorus
I think you better let it go
Heard you been creeping round my baby's back though
Now what you sliding through here for?
I think you better let it go
I think you want to let it be (be)
'cause if you want beef I got the recipe
Now you don't really want no parts of me
I think you better let it be (let it be)
Can't believe you came here, thinking bout what's gone
What the Hell is wrong with you son? Best be moving on
Before you go, gotta let you know
See those excuses you was using, you can't come here with that there no more
She's been around the house, stacking what you bought,
Everything you own is on the back porch,
You're breaking the rules, kid I've had enough
I'm bout to start hooking off with jabs and upper cuts
What? What? What? What?
(Chorus)
Wilin' over this chick Ja, Slow you illin'
Probably be the next book by Terry McMillan
Open off of Hennessey, seeing the remedy,
Ready to pop ?em both like, like they breaking and entry,
It's Tempting, they'll turn your last name Simpson,
Redemption, leave you in a centre of detention,
If he don't listen, air him out
It's Shorty ???? It ain't a game




It's what a playa about. Cash flow
(chorus)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jaheim (Featuring Castro)'s song Let It Go are about an altercation between Jaheim and someone who has been talking negatively about him and his girlfriend, causing stress and drama in their relationship. Jaheim is warning this person that he is not one to be played with and that their words could result in physical violence. He tells the person to let it go and move on, as their excuses and apologies are not enough to fix the damage they have caused. In the second verse, Castro joins in and suggests that the person is also causing drama with other women and that they need to be stopped before they cause more harm.


The lyrics reflect the common theme of male protectiveness over women, as Jaheim is standing up for his girlfriend and warning others not to mess with her. The lyrics also touch on the themes of loyalty and respect, as Jaheim implies that the person has betrayed him and his girlfriend by talking negatively behind their backs. However, the use of violent language and threats may also be seen as problematic, as it perpetuates a culture of aggression and toxic masculinity.
