let go - graphene lyrics

[verse 1: graphene]

beware of n*ggas claiming that they’re dogs when they just bark a lot
real g’s move in silence and y’all talk a lot
environment’s products so n*ggas ain’t tryna talk it out
got a problem? they yelling meet me out in the parking lot
summer time vibes city go nuts just like the pecans
and bullets shut the party down way before police can
now the street corner’s a house of balloons on every weekend
yeah death came way too soon now mama grieving
asking god why while crying and hugging deacons
her other son out for revenge he filled with demons
like why couldn’t this rose make it up from the cement
and why that night all i can see when i be dreaming

questions unanswered in the immediate
now he in the streets moving weight he so expedient
but he don’t follow codes he got problems with obedience
he feel like n*ggas ain’t bout they bread just like they celiac
hot head little n*gga cause his heart full of pain
no therapy open wounds life done made him this way
so f*ck it hostility running all through his veins
smoking daily convincing himself that he ain’t going insane

one night
heard from a birdie about his brother
said she knew who the k!ller was and where that n*gga slumbers
he gets his nut off hops up and throws off the covers
heads to his car tool on his waist just like the plumber
pulling up nervous but angry trying to remember
to stay calm he reached and grabbed the mask from up under
the seat put it on lights off he’s with his lover
drove by hit him perfect pass just like a cutter
sirens flashing he sees one and then another
ain’t going down speeds off and gets hit by a trucker
phone vibrating missed calls all from his mother
she left a voicemail screaming that she finally hit her number

d*mn

[chorus: graphene]

how long til we let go
how long til we let go
cause our stories never get told
and n*ggas never get old

[verse 2: graphene (as the mama)]

beware of people who be giving praise but still be gossiping
trying to form weapons again you when you prospering
not there when you need them but always there for the offering
of advice good and bad they think they softening
the blow of having to bury two sons in the same year
knowing god made the rules but feeling he don’t play fair
like how i’m supposed to enjoy this money when my sons ain’t here
and how i’ma tell they daughters they daddies forever lay here
can’t help but to feel that i may be the one to blame
like sh*t would have been different if i made more of y’all games
instead of working overtime so we had a place to stay
did jumping round from home to home lead to this house of pain

nah f*ck that! i did the best that i could
had to nurture and provide don’t know if y’all understood
that i gave y’all boys every ounce of strength in my bones
i gave y’all all my heart, all my mind, and all my soul
everything
i taught y’all everything i’ve ever known
about surviving in a world where they don’t want to see you grow
to be the stars that you were finna be
and now that y’all are gone i swear it’s k!lling me

but they can’t see it cause strength is all a mother shows
covering struggle with smiles is all yo mother knows
tears on this paper tired of wiping i just let em flow
and save a couple for the end to seal the envelope

before i go
and leave these letters on y’all grave
want to leave y’all with a promise that i’ll never break
i love you and i’ll never let y’all daughters feel ashamed
for not having y’all and not hearing y’all say they names

i’ll be there for em pick up whenever they calling
make sure they know they daddies loved them be there when they falling
and i’ll make sure that y’all names are forever exalted
and give my life to make sure y’all kids live longer than y’all did

bye
