If you love somethin', let it go If it comes back to you it's yours If it doesn't, it never was Hold me down, baby Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day Hold me down, niggas wanna know me now Didn't want to play with me when to show me how No meow, 'cause it's all about the bark Let the dog loose, baby, it's about to spark Light up the night like the 4th of July Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die With this Y and you don't know, you slow Like Baltimore, if you ain't tryin' to go you blow I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest Is the dog barkin' up the tree for the cat In the fog, what y'all niggas see is the bat Flappin' away, but I'm blind like Stevie Niggas don't hear me, still tryin' to see me Stop bein' greedy, you heard what I said Let me go, let me flow, or I'm dead Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day I sold my soul to the Devil, and the price was cheap And yo, it's cold on his level, 'cause it's twice as deep But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb – shall I go on? Yo, on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery How is it I can live and make history? If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be But you can't blame me for not wantin' to be held Locked down in a cell where a soul can't dwell This is hell, go get the Devil and give me the key But it can't be worse than the curse that was given to me It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone There's a difference between doin' wrong and bein' wrong And that ain't right, just keep it fair, baby Put me in the air and I'll take it there, baby – yes! Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped I'ma continue to hit the hardest whether I scrap or rap Give me dap, but you ain't my friend I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end You waitin' for that bend in the road where you were told That you would go when you were old and if you died young it was cold Sold, not for nearly what it was worth Think back 26 years, be like, "What if his birth Was a miscarriage and I never existed?" Have I given somethin' that if taken away you'd have missed it? Didn't know, yet I persisted, it was the call of the wild I merely say what's in my heart and you call it a style Don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it You say you hunger for knowledge? Here it is, eat it! Another song completed is another thought captured Let me do my thing, I got it locked with this rap shit Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day Or give me death Or take my breath I'ma die anyway But I'll be gone any day Or give me death Or take my breath I'ma die anyway But I'll be gone any day Where my niggas? Uh, ahh, for my niggas Uh, ahh, for my niggas Uh, ahh, for my niggas
