Even though the song is essentially about a girl or love interest, it’s also about moving on from your past and growing as a person despite how hard it may be. It’s so easy for people to give in to their vices and regress so I speak from experience when I say that sometimes the best thing you can do...
{Chorus}
I told you once baby
I told you once what I know
You got to let it go
I told you once baby
I told you once what I know
You got to let it go
{Verse 1}
Flew back home now
To my old town
But I’m grown now, lotta things changed around here
Still got some homies on the corner and some holy matrimonies Friends are having sons and daughters and these kids are killing kids
Been two years now you hit me on the snapchat
I remember when I couldn’t get a text back
The type of shit that told me that I had to step back
You typing shit that let me know just where your head at
Said you don’t really know the reason, but you like my new demeanor
So you hit me on the daily tryna pull up in the evenin'
Cause you know my songs about ya and the moments shared between us
I don’t know if you for real so baby pinch me if I’m dreaming, I
Like it, I love it
I like you, I love you, I
Know that I’m buggin', I know I can’t trust you, but
There’s something about you girl I don’t know
Why I can’t let you go
{Chorus}
I told you once baby
I told you once what I know
You got to let it go
I told you once baby
I told you once what I know
You got to let it go
{Verse 2}
Does your partner know that you creepin'
Does he know you hit my line?
What would yo mama say if she saw
All those pictures in the late night
Tell me why I got your interest
When you wouldn’t give me your time
Always saying how you miss me
And you forever wanna be mine
You ain’t slick (nope)
But I ain’t either (alright)
Walking 'round acting like, you ain’t my weakness
And I know I should let you go
Why I don’t I don’t know (2x)
{Outro}
I should let you go (4x)
