Letting Go
So I’m sittin here in the same ole place
About to rip something out that I can’t even predict
I saw so many things on your face
Hard to decipher
Facing some liars
Figuring what I was cryin for
But just know that through the pain I was almost licked
The future, like I said earlier… we just can’t predict
And now I’m here just a facin up to it all
Fighting as usual
Standing
Standing tall

It bothered me when all the people told me to stop caring so much
As if it’s wrong to care about such and such
Longing for a caring person’s touch
Thrown away and mishandled again and again
It’s as if I’m being punished like Satan and stuck sittin in the sin bin

But I’ll be alright…

Because…

I’m rising up
I’m looking up
Watching it all from a clearer window
Standing up and simply
Letting go

It doesn’t matter that you cheated on me
It doesn’t matter that you lied to me
It doesn’t matter that you put me in continuous repeat
If you think that the you is just one person
Pause for a sec
And realize that I’m ripping every last one of you
The likes of which have put me through one big pile of doo doo
Probably for the last time
At least until I come up with another silly rhyme

Sleep with another guy
Call me for another try
Look for another guy to simply put it in your eye

It is over
It doesn’t matter anymore
You mistreated me so badly
And it wasn’t right

But I’ll be alright…

Because…

I’m rising up
I’m looking up
Watching it all from a clearer window
Standing up and simply
Letting go

Continue to talk the trash
Continue to walk your walk
The devils are lurking after you
Mistreating the wrong people
Who’s really looking after you?

When ya need a true shoulder to cry on
Who are you going to turn to?
It isn’t me
Cause you made it clear
We’re through

Your sense says other things would’ve been alright in the aftermath
But I’m telling you I don’t wanna see you along my same path
But it is no big thing for me anymore
Even if sometimes I go vulgar and throw out stuff like calling you a whore

Might be what I call ya
Might not be what I call ya
Needless to say
Regardless of what I say
You think you’re a balla

It no longer worries me anymore
Even though you think it should
Good things might’ve been
Simply a game of compromise
You know that thing… called Could and Would

But nah that’s right you don’t know about that

But I’ll be alright…

Because…

I’m rising up
I’m looking up
Watching it all from a clearer window
Standing up and simply
Letting go

Letting
Letting
Letting go

My turn to toss you out the window
And make you read and listen to this flow
Explaining every lil thing
Even though as always your eyes and your ears and your brain will probably still be missing

I’ve turned to a higher source
You’ve turned to something much worse
But it’s not my business
You forced me to quit with this
I didn’t want to
But you had this whole thing going on

Your treasure chest of wishes
Your meanhearted disses
What a bunch of crap this is
You could’ve been the high and mighty missus
Instead, you presented your hide and told me to kiss this

But I’ll be alright…

Because…

I’m rising up
I’m looking up
Watching it all from a clearer window
Standing up and simply
Letting go

Letting
Letting
Letting go
