Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
As she takes the stand
By the look in her eyes I can tell that she knows
That she’s holding the fate of my world in her hands
Damn, fo’ real
This was never the plan
It was never intended for her to end up the defendant
And I guess it just happened by chance
Damn, and you hope
You hopin’ that a miracle happens
You prayed that the judge doesn't bang that gavel
Just so you can go back and avoid a disaster
And you could still be holding her hand
Like the last note of the saddest song
Or like the last word at the end of the poem
You know, there's nothing worse than being alone
It’s funny how you never know what you got ‘til it’s gone
They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
What's the one thing in this life that you live for?
Who do you know in the world you would die for?
Who would lie for?
Who if they committed a crime you would stop on a dime and do time for
'Cause it was me she would ride for
And that was her that I cry for
Now I'd give it all away to get her back
'Cause she ain't free, no, just waiting July 4th
Yea, no, it don't sound logical
But there's some things in this life that you gotta do
Brother, one thing in this world that got to you
I'd let it all go but I ain't dropping you
They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
It might be wrong or it might be right
But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight
We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight
Even if I lost it all
They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
Never gonna let you go

Questioning what truly matters in life
Who do you know in the world you would die for?
Questioning who is most important to us, who means the most to us in life
Who would lie for?
Oftentimes, people can find themselves fibbing to protect a loved one who is in a tough situation.
Who if they committed a crime you would stop on a dime and do time for
Questioning what lengths we would go to protect those we love
'Cause it was me she would ride for
The person he loves would do anything to protect him
And that was her that I cry for
The person he loves is also the person he mourns for
Now I'd give it all away to get her back
Material possessions and fame hold no value compared to the person he loves
'Cause she ain't free, no, just waiting July 4th
The person he loves is suffering and waiting for freedom
Yea, no, it don't sound logical
Sometimes, love and emotions don't make sense
But there's some things in this life that you gotta do
Love and loyalty demand certain actions
Brother, one thing in this world that got to you
There is something that is worth fighting for
I'd let it all go but I ain't dropping you
The person he loves is more important than anything else in his life
It might be wrong or it might be right
The decision to fight for the person he loves may not be justified, but it feels right
But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight
Some decisions can't be undone and must be acted upon immediately
We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight
Life is short and not worth living without those we love
Even if I lost it all
Material possessions and fame hold no value compared to the person he loves
Won't let you go
Refusing to let go of the person he loves
No, never gonna let you go
The person he loves is the most important thing in his life
