Yeah, yo
You were that / foundation
Never gonna be another one no
I followed / so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow / then sickness
Then the shock when you flipped it on me
So hollow / so vicious
So afraid I couldn’t let myself see
That I could never be held
Back or up no / hold myself
Check the rep / yep you know mine well
Forget the rest / let them know my hell
There and back / yet my soul ain’t sell
Kept respect up / the best they failed
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying…
In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
Test my will / test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Ya’ll go hard / I go smart
How’s that working for y’all in the back, huh?
I’ve seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I’ve come back / unshaken
Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don’t hold back I hold my own
I can’t get be mapped / I can’t be cloned
I can’t C-flat / it ain’t my tone
I can’t fall back I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
‘Cause I was there saying…
In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
No / you can tell ‘em all now
I don’t back up / I don’t back down
I don’t fold back and I don’t bow
I don’t roll over / don’t know how
I don’t care where the enemies are
I can’t be stopped / all I know / go hard
Won’t forget how I got this far
For every time saying…
In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
