“Let it Go” is a song about getting rid of past grudges and learning to get along. It tells the story of how Lil Xtra and someone he was close with fell apart and are now constantly feuding and are at each other’s throats.
From Lil Xtra’s perspective, he keeps telling the other person to drop it and...
[Verse 1]
Guess this is how it feels to fall apart
I can feel it in my head
I can feel it in my heart
I can taste it on your breath
When you're sliding through the dark
These days I got enough bite
I don't need to bark
You know we're stuck getting old
I can feel it in my lungs
Why's enough never seem to be enough?
Let it go, light it up
Before the rage inside erupts
Then you scream, unexpectedly abrupt
(What the fuck?)
Ay, yeah
These bad nights turned into bad fights
You act like I don't give a damn
And you're damn right
I understand a bad man in your past life, but
This ain't a scam, I'm not your brother
Get your facts right
I'd rather chill with my dog in my apartment
Than to ever let you set a fucking foot up in my car again
Or start an argument because I laughed at something Carmen did
You're not the reason I'm unhappy
But you're part of it
[Chorus]
So why don't you call this off
And leave this town?
Swear that you build me up just so
You could break me down
And I don't know
Where I'm going to go
But I'd rather be lost at sea
Than in a broken home
It don't feel like home
It don't feel like home
[Verse 2]
Guess this is how it feels when it hurts
Like I'm a ghost in a beat
Li-Like I'm trapped in a verse
Like when you tell me that you're sorry
And it makes me feel worse
'Cause honestly it's probably more than I deserve
But I'm keeping my word, I'm still trying my hardest
You say that I'm perfect, you say I'm the farthest
Thing you've ever seen from what you need at my darkest
I feel like I'm used up, I feel like a carcass
The storm brewing, I'm sorry 'bout my attitude
I know that you've been going through it
But what am I to do?
And you don't believe in anything
You think you're life is ruined
Drugs you used to get you through it
Quickly start abusing
I'm not judging, I know how it felt
When they told you you were sick
And that you'd never be well
I would tell you it gets better
If I thought it would help
But honestly I don't even
Believe it myself, yeah
[Chorus]
So why don't you call this off
And leave this town?
Swear that you build me up just so
You could break me down
And I don't know
Where I'm going to go
But I'd rather be lost at sea
Than in a broken home
It don't feel like home
It don't feel like home
