elijah john$on - let it go lyrics

i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i just got to let it go

speak to the pain of a black man
something my momma would do
when she see a problem, she try to solve em but look at my father that i never knew
he left me at birth
or early enough that i couldn’t tell
did he wish me well, or want me to fail
he’s living his life and i go and hurt
look at my eyes, you seeing this threat
i figure they’re under this target on head
i figured its sane to deal with this pain i figured i go and put target on neck
im doing it all, in the hopes for respect
im doing it all, in the hopes they protect
im doing it all just hoping that this is gon cover what momma can’t cover on check
im doing it all, i know nothing less
im doing it all, i think im the best
then i see n-gg-s thats throwing they fingers, they all in the car and screaming they set
this is as far is my life gonna get
only 18 and seen everything and they seen it too
they seen it too
and then they just go and put bullets in chest
i seen everything except for a plane
except for a p-ssport thats holding my name
i seen everything except the love that i need
and knowledge that sits in my brain
i seen everything except for diplomas, except love that i need in the streets
i seen everything, i seen everything, i seen everything except for some peace

i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i just got to let it go

speak to the pain of a black man
something my father would do
when he see a problem, he try to solve em, regardless of dangerous things he been thru
we sit and we talk, he tells me the truth
he tells me theres more to this life than a duce
he tells me theres more to this life than a booth
he tells me theres more to this life than a hoop
needing no drugs, and he show me love, and shows me exactly how i need to move
he tells me watch out, watch for the cops
they trynna k!ll you and so are the opps
the opps are the n-gg-s that sit in streets that play as informants and want you to rot
watch for the scandalous women out here
they wanna k!ll you its something i fear
it won’t be direct but she’ll give you head, then she gon’ run to them n-gg-s that will
he tell me watch out
watch for my pride
number one k!ller in all these black guys
we come from a place, was owned by these whites
was k!lling us off and took all our rights
demeaning us too, and now we will fight
protecting your pride can sentence you life
he tell me watch out! watch for a n-gg-
a n-gg- and black man is totally different
a black man is beautiful, black man is strong
he know he oppressed and refuse to move on
he know about reagan and know about bill
know about nixon and n-gg-s that k!ll
know about tookie, he know about huey, he know that the demonizations is real
black man is smart, black man will love, a n-gg- is someone that you couldn’t trust
a n-gg- will always just think of himself
he know nothing bout how we needing his help
a n-gg- will k!ll because of some words
k!ll over jordans cuz he got em first
a n-gg- will always choose to be ignorant
can’t even talk to them they get belligerent
a n-gg- will lift you for using some logic
say ‘you a thinker, i didn’t think about it’
a n-gg- will never boycott for a cause
he’ll press you for colors when you not involved
he’ll tell you to sell, tell you to ball, tell you do everything except get a job
so watch for these n-gg-s you know that its true
and watch for these whiteys cuz they watching you
you watching your front and watching your back
theyll k!ll you for hoodies you gon on your back
they say that they love but hate that you black
and then they will k!ll you its over like that…

i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i can’t get it (i can’t get it)
i just got to let it go
