uh
yeah
uh
if you love something, let it go
if it goes back to you it's yours
if it doesn't, it never was
hold me down baby
[chorus X2]
either let me fly, or give me death
let my soul rest, take my breath
if i don't fly, i'ma die anyway
i'ma live on, but i'll be gone any day
hold me down, niggas wanna know me now
didn't wanna play wit me, wanted to show me how
no meow, if it's all about the bark
let the dog loose baby it's about to spark
light up the night, like the fourth of july
niggas know, when i let go, niggas die
this is why, if you don't know you slow
like baltimore, if you ain't tryin to go you blow
i soak up all the pain and accept it in silence
when i let go there's violence, cuz the wildest
here's the dog, barkin up the tree for the cat
in the fog, what ya'll niggas see is the bat
flappin away, but i'm blind like stevie
niggas don't hear me, still tryin to see me
stop bein greedy, you heard what i said
let me go, let me flow, or i'm dead
[chorus]
i sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap
and yo it's cold on this level, cuz it's twice as deep
but you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss, and so on
sometimes it's better to be thought dumb, shall i go on
yo, on the real, what the deal, it's a mystery
how is it i can live and make history
if you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see
if you wasn't born wit it, it wasn't meant for you to be
but you can't blame me for not wantin to be held
locked down in a cell, with a soul damn dwelled
this is hell, come get the devil and give me the key
for it can't be worse than the curse that was given to me
that's what i live for, you take away that, and i'm gone
there's a difference between doing wrong and, being wrong
and that ain't right, just keep it fair baby (uh)
put me in the air, and i'll take it there baby (YES)
[chorus]
i'ma flow regardless, becuz i'm an artist, until i'm trapped
i'ma continue to hit the hardest, whether i strap or rap
give me death, but you ain't my friend
i see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end
you lookin for that bend, in the road
where you were told, that you would go
when you were old
if you died young, it was cold
sold, but not for nearly what it was worth
think back 26 years and be like what if this birth
was a miscarriage, and i never existed
have i given something that if taken away, you'd have missed it
didn't know, did d persist it, it was the call of the wild
i merely say what's in my heart, and you call it a style
don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it
you say you hunger for knowledge? here it is, eat it
another song completed, is another thought captured
let me do my thing, i got it locked, with this rap shit
[chorus]
or give me death...
and take my breath...
i'ma die anyway...
but o'll be gone any day...
or give me death...
and take my breath...
o'ma die anyway...
but o'll be gone any day...
ah, ah, for my niggas
uh, ah, for my niggas
uh, ah, for my niggas
uh, ah, for my niggas
