Текст песни Manafest and Bre - Let It Go (Epiphany 2005)
Yo, I can't always be what everybody else wants me to be
I gotta figure it out own my own sometimes, you know
I gotta find me, you find you
Oh, this is a song from my soul (my soul)
This time I won't sweat it
I'm gonna let it go
I don't recognize my own face no more
I stare in a mirror then turn and it's gone
Nameless and famous changing my alias
Manafest and Chris fighting for the right placement
1979 I was born, 1995 I grabbed a board
1999 I wrote a song, spit a metaphor
Went from amateur to entrepreneur
You still don't know me, you dudes can't touch me
Stab me, kill me, hug me, or love me
Inside, I'm a person hurting and working
Pouring myself out, putting my neck out
Can you see him? I tell them I'm right here
He still won't come out, he's rivaled with fear
Examined by the critics, and put on this diss list
They don't respect him, he's just another musician
Oh, this is a song from my soul (my soul)
This time I won't sweat it (sweat it, yeah)
I'm gonna let it go (I won't stress, I'll just do my best)
Yeah, you've taken up all of my cares (my cares)
Given me eyesight and meaning
And I'll let the whole world know about you
The voice of suicide used to creep up in my mind
The fat kid could care less if I lived or died
I didn't think it had effect on me
But now I'm 25 watching my weight size, I'm really scrawny
The name-calling, bullying from the hooligans
The who's in, who's not, had no friends
My audience is triple the size of that now
All eyes on me, shall I rap now?
Thank y'all for coming to my show (thanks)
Thank y'all for burning my CD that you stole
When I get desperate, I write a message
My rhymes, the essence of day to day lessons
Feeling butt naked, my pride has been taken
Every mistake that I've made there taping
Can I find peace? Can I find me?
Who's the real man that's hiding behind the emcee?
I want to know
What's real? (I wanna find it)
What's not?
What's real? (I'm still searching)
Superstar (still looking up)
Oh, this is a song from my soul (my soul)
This time I won't sweat it (sweat it, yeah)
I'm gonna let it go (I won't stress it, I'll just do my best)
Yeah (yeah), you've taken up all of my cares
Given me eyesight and meaning
And I'll let the whole world know about you
We may not agree on everything or anything
By any means I'ma fulfill the dream
I seen it come and go, I've tried to grab hold
Hope I don't end up losing my soul
Hip hop ain't worth it, I've served and cursed it
Sacrificed to make it work, and lost my purpose
It's not what I'd die for to risk my wife and all
Strife 'cause can't compare the lives it's caught
I am a Christian, emceeing is a gift
And hip hop's what I'm living, not replacing religion
I got relationship with the God in the sky
He talks to me, defines wrong and the right
Talk to him when you're walking or jogging
Skating, or playing, or painting, or balling
I'ma pass the mic on a path for Christ
Let me tell you the-, shu, a lovely time
Oh, this is a song from my soul (from the soul)
This time I won't sweat it (I won't sweat it)
I'm gonna let it go (I got to let them know)
Yeah, you've taken up all of my cares (all of my cares)
Given me eyesight and meaning
And I'll let the whole world know about you
Oh, this is a song from my soul
This time I won't sweat it (yeah)
I'm gonna let it go (I'm gonna let it go) (I won't stress, I'll just do my best, kid)
Yeah, you've taken up all my cares (what's not?)
Given me eyesight and meaning
And I'll let the whole world know (superstar)
