[Verse 1]

Conscious hop through universes, hope that yours is doing well

Perspective tied so intricate to self, so I can't really tell

I don't think that everybody lives as present as we think

Time flows indeterminate, water from eight billion sinks

Freeze it like a hockey rink when tribulation comes to call

No fo-mo for slow-mo, 'less the oh-no has to do with "aw"

Heartbreak an eternity, but love condense a timeline

Love is happiness and we know fun will make the time fly

Father time, a sucker for the drama

He'll record it, play it back however many times he wanna

Causing us to question if we've ever left the scene

Anxiety a product of him making us believe

That to move forward ain't a choice of ours, but he deceives

It's godliness to not think of what was but what could be

Exit his hypnosis, 'cause the present's closest to your dreams

Every second presents exits, choose to let your slate be clean


[Bridge]

Let go

Let go, let go, let go

When it's tryna grab ahold, let it know who's in control

Let it go

Let go, let go, let go

Price of illumination is patience

Trust your guts but know you can't rush greatness

You got to

Believe it's temporary

You got to

Let it go


[Chorus]

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

You got to (You know that you got to)

You know that you got to (You know that you got to)

You know that you got to let this shit go


[Verse 2]

My mind's eye-wide to let in the sunshine

For a long time, I know that I used to draw blinds

Consumed in a dark room, convinced I could draw blind

Found out that my world was controlled by my own mind

Energy that you put out is the energy you receive

I ain't perfect, but my purpose learn to be a better me

If everybody did think how great the world would be

Inner reflection leading to less outward tension in the streets

No preconceived ideas about how anyone should be

Micro turns to macro, self-improvement moves to global peace

Made this album 'cause you gotta be the change you wanna see

And I wanna change a lot, so I guess I'll start with me


[Outro]

You see, I have let go

I was goin' through a lot, years back

I started making music as a way to vent

A way to navigate my reality at the time

Now music is my life, it's beautiful
