When I was six years old I kinda wet the bed
My stepdad came in and nearly beat me to death
All bruised and broken I was lonely and scared My mom she was working there was nobody there
My nana showed up she was super protective Had a tear in her eye she saw how I was neglected The crazy part about it she's a straight up detective
But you never would've guessed how she'd cook you a breakfast Three works later she had him locked in a cell Now I'm seven years old with a story to tell Sing it I'm gonna let it go
Forgiveness is something we gotta know
'Cause if you hold on forever it'll hurt your soul That's why I'm learning how to let it go
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
Now middle school's here a new chapter in life New stepdad too made my mama his wife Got new problems now like tryna fit in Getting looked down on just because of your skin It's bad enough I can't afford them clothes
Got high water's on with holes in my sole Now that's the type of stuff to put a hole in your soul But I am just gone I am just gone
I'm gonna let it go
Forgiveness is something we gotta know
'Cause if you hold on forever it'll hurt your soul That's why I'm learning how to let it go
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
I'm grown up now I learned enough for a song Still got some friends but most of 'em gone Overdoses or killed by a gun
Breaking into houses life on the run
Did it for his kid now he won't be around Guess the little one's gonna be just like me now If you're carrying the bitterness around on your shoulders
Then just remember what I told you Sing it
I'm gonna let it go
Forgiveness is something we gotta know
'Cause if you hold on forever it'll hurt your soul That's why I'm learning how to let it go
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
I'm learning how to let it go
