alex faith - letting me go lyrics

[verse 1]
unh, young boy from the south side; got a lot of aspirations
family held me down; had a lot of emanc-p-tions
walked with me in love through all of my sinful fascinations
and affirmed me in my talent whenever they saw a flash of greatness
but i still barely finished high school
everyone one around looking at me like what am i doing
unh, and my uncle’s out of prison now
i got some homies doing dirt, i’m thinking about getting down
yeah, my surroundings captured me
my father taught me to love the lord, but i don’t trust the masterpiece
now the tension grows thicker
add my insecurity to mix and get a clearer picture
i’m not really supposed to win here
and the odds are piling up now
what’s wrong? it’s always been fair
and i feel like giving up now

[hook]
i can never stop god, no
i see you without going blind
like a child, i rule the world, it’s not mine
you not letting me go; you not letting me go
i can never stop time, set this world on fire
who can heal the blind
like a child, i rule the world, it’s not mine
you not letting me go; you not letting me go

[verse 2]
a pastor so bold he came and told me to my face
that i was living a double life and being a disgrace
to the lord and the church and his word and his spirit
i was grieving him so much at this point that i could feel it
i’m trying to live right in front of folk, but i’m even fake to me
and to make it even worse, i got a lot of folk with faith in me
unh and i don’t even know why; days are dark and grimy
got me feeling like my hope died; who is jesus?
and what would this man have me do now?
and i remember my father’s example; i said that i want to make you proud
a lot of people boring me, but i’m still going out
smoke until my eyes roll back and i got that cotton mouth
living with my homie who’s a christian; he been good to me
but i’m up at georgia state with a girl and she look good to me
i met kenny, random; he said “come and visit my church”
came and saw the way that loved the lord
and you know it hurt so much that i made my home et
we gon’ move way down to east point, and hold each other down
at the time that’s what the plan was; repenting from my sin
i’m so convicted by the lord’s grace; never taste god in the marathon
until the day that i’m going to see his face

[hook]

[verse 3]
fast-forward five years, your boy’s married now
i love the lord, and i love my wife, and he still shows me how
to serve him well and tell the world around me all he’s done for me
the moment when i least deserved it, he gave up his son for me
i burned a lot of bridges being young and dumb; i’m owning that
i’m trying to be a better person even if you know the facts
living like a king is a struggle every day for me
that new heart that he gave me, you can never take away from me

[hook]
