lirik lagu byron henderson – letting go.
[intro: marina esmeralda]
okay
[verse 1: byron henderson]
tempted to do wrong to not be treated like an arcade
the list will just go on til we’re no longer seen as shark bait
priorities are shot up like the needles in the arms of all the addicts in them hallways
we ain’t gon get along because your mental state is broadway
discover where your energy is best at
where love and admiration hovers all day
learned to never neglect that
can’t feel above the law when they say you law break
but you see we’re black, which means we’re breaking laws with every step we all take
i know some ain’t gon get that
another hard pill to swallow for all the ones that do
cause i been knew you’d probably want your l!ck back
some folks don’t have an endgame
but some have too much to lose to ever risk that
stress forever outweighing success, though monetary gains define us
hardest task to learn is you need more than a mirror to find us
turn the blinders on, the mask is off
still it’s the past that binds us
homicide will call
answer or ignore, you’ll have reminders
plenty of times, i let myself down
multiply your thoughts by how low i think of myself now
due to pressure, another meltdown
anxiety peeking through the blinds
contaminating the mind
i can see my demons creeping from behind
yell out, “help wanted”
since childhood felt haunted
our swagger exaggerated today
tomorrow, they use our style to sell garments
insecurities turn sadness to anger
pride feeding revenge over failed mourning
the veil lifted, simply existing ain’t what i want to do
razor or track marks on your wrists, tell me which one were you?
one or two things manage
you jangle chains for the cameras or you’re banished
undoing damage, we vanished to atlantis
hah~hah
[hook: byron henderson]
no better time for you to be letting go of your pain
the light at the end of the tunnel, is it hope or a train?
guess we’ll never know
guess we’ll never — guess we’ll never know
guess we’ll never know
guess we’ll never
[verse 2: byron henderson]
only said they won’t prosper, weapons forever being formed
be informed, what kind of monster takes kindly to being warned
pride corrupted your conscience, so being conscious ain’t the norm
when they take away rights, things go left cause we’re being wronged
gone too long with no shoulder to rest upon
done with all this regression, dawg
why laugh when lucifer has daddy issues, similar to the rest of y’all
compensation for loss is throwing the target at the gun
they want to be martyrs
partisan thoughts of the damage y’all have done
empty a cartridge in schools, churches, and markets
fools flirting with death
cops too nervous to halt it when they come
soften your defense, to amplify the offense that i run
swam to the deep end
see self destruction often where i’m from
lives still lack direction, complexion gained us ire
johnny blaze inspired with no where to aim the fire
of course, emotional support left the game, retired
just memories of the broken, reassembly required
too white for the blacks, too black for the whites
was never the wisest
but knew better than to play white games, expecting anything more than black prizes
hope you’re bright enough to understand the mindset
cause we’re all just walking minefields that haven’t lost our minds yet
prime example is envy of my success when i worked my whole life for this
i confess, even had the courtesy to watch my step
gave more help than i received, i could’ve been selfish
made helping more of a priority than my mental health is
just another mistake in need of rectification
only corpses in my closet are people who never made it that i held close
all~stars and sh~lltoes
while the whites were playing hangman, the blacks stood around
that hispanic girl chose to help though
loosened the noose and bellowed
cause nothing could save either of us from how far we fell
plenty times i let myself down, except for when it counts
no wonder she’s out of breath now
detonating the bombs
knew all of us wouldn’t make it, with some of us never wanting to
we knew what time to take and which people to give our warnings to
let go of believing i should do more for you
found peace through knowing my peak lives where i want it to
amen
