[Intro]

Love

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love

It's only what you got in the form of the highest power you seek

Now this right here's not a preview

I need to let it go

Yeah


[Verse 1]

Now this right here is not a preview

Of what the album gon' bring you, or nuttin' like that

Sharing things I think quietly, with those that admire me

'Member MTV Diary? This something like that

I wear my heart up on my sleeve and I bleed for you

Cookin' beats hoping to reach like each one you

When I release, trust if you feel like my shit is weak

When you see me on the street, then speak, I refund you

This sample was yellin' "loop me!"

Ms. Hill, please don't sue me

'Cause I ain't one of these rappers out here frontin' like he got it, nigga

I ain't fuckin' got it, nigga...

Throwing thousands in the strip club with Drizzy

Difference is I'm throwing four, he throwin' 50

Lord, forgive me, bitches saying, "You a rapper nigga, ain't you s'posed to tip more?"

I don't see no pussy, baby, ain't you s'posed to strip more?

Confessions of a cheap-ass nigga

But I finally put my momma in that E-Class, nigga

And I told her quit her job but hold your horses

If my next album flop it's back to the post office, both of us, shit

They saying that's a real possibility

The thought alone is killing me


[Chorus 1]

I think I need to let it go

I need to let it go, uh

I think I need to let it go, let it go, let it go

I think I need to let it go

'Cause nothing even matters...


[Verse 2]

Anticipating rain, I can't make the same mistakes again

Them '90s niggas raped the game

And left us with a battered and bruised bitch with a few kids

The pussy loose but the truth is I love her, though

She ain't perfect, but who is?

Hoes saying "Cole, you is" don't be silly, ma, 'cause really I

Just a born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Cole summer, I predict another winter

'Cause I'm fin' ta drop knowledge like a Five Percenter

Fuck the Bilderberg, nigga show 'em God sent ya

Rhyme with the skill, as if Nas went to

College on scholarship met Pac and said "I'm down witcha"

And when they wasn't writin' rhymes they fuckin' line sisters

Puffin' on swishers, what's up Milan?

Every time I drop I get the net poppin' like LeBron swishes

Kay told me kill ya, and I gotta respect my mom's wishes

When I let go this how my mind switches

No looking back, don't even want to see my prom pictures

Pardon the rhyme scheme, I guess I'm long-winded

Let me switch it now, back to Hell's Kitchen now

Up in Hova office like he the fucking principal

Put me in with StarGate, that shit was like detention now

Just tellin' my story so dissin' ain't my intention now

Drop a couple hits and all the dummies pay attention now

A shame when you learn the ins and outs of the game

And reminisce on little Jermaine in the south

Rappin' out loud with all the niggas that's cool to you

Just to realize that all them niggas was foolin' you

And they ain't who they said they were

Talk about the streets but nigga, that ain't really where they were, actin' just like Dede was

But who am I to judge? That's neither here nor there

Just know I know, my nigga, I just like being aware

If I had one wish, I would fuck Tia and Tamera

At the same time and put name tags on they titties

So I don’t get they names wrong, screamin' "Game on"

Like Wayne's World, that just came on

I'm rambling now, five days to finish the album, I'm scramblin' now

Took a break from samplin' now

Just to say a few words to this bitch named Summer

June'll make four years since I gave you my number

The Warm Up dropped, I got hot, you called it a classic

And Jay dropped "Autotune", you wanted him back, shit

Play my position, the whole while still wishin'

A year later Drake put his key in your ignition

And I told my fellas I dropped Friday Night Lights

In the winter just to make her jealous

Wanted to drop the album in the summer, but the label didn't think that they could sell it

Recoup the first week, I think it ain't shit they can tell us

Do you agree?

It's been a long time coming this thing between you and me


[Chorus 2]

I can't let it go

I can't let it go, nah

I think I need to let it go, let it go, let it go

They say I need to let it go

'Cause nothing even matters, ayy


[Outro]

Yeah

June 25th

Born Sinner, bitch
