Yeah, yo 00:40
You were that foundation 00:41
Never gonna be another one, no 00:43
I followed, so taken 00:45
So conditioned, I could never let go 00:47
Then sorrow, then sickness 00:49
Then the shock when you flip it on me 00:51
So hollow, so vicious 00:53
So afraid, I couldn't let myself see 00:55
That I could never be held 00:57
Back or up, no, I hold myself 00:59
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well 01:01
Forget the rest, let them know my hell 01:03
There and back, yet my soul ain't sell 01:05
Kept respect up, the best they fell 01:07
Let the rest be the tale they tell 01:09
That I was there, saying 01:11
In these promises broken, deep below 01:13
Each word gets lost in the echo 01:18
So, one last lie I can see through 01:21
This time, I finally let you go, go, go 01:25
Test my will, test my heart 01:37
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up 01:40
Y'all go hard, I go smart 01:42
How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh? 01:43
I've seen that, frustration 01:45
Been crossed and lost and told no 01:47
And I've come back, unshaken 01:49
Let down and lived and let go 01:51
So, you can let it be known 01:53
I don't hold back, I hold my own 01:55
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned 01:57
I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone 01:59
I can't fall back, I came too far 02:01
Hold myself up and love my scars 02:03
Let the bells ring wherever they are 02:05
'Cause I was there, saying 02:07
In these promises broken, deep below 02:08
Each word gets lost in the echo 02:14
So, one last lie I can see through 02:17
This time, I finally let you go 02:21
02:29

No, you can tell 'em all now 02:41
I don't back up, I don't back down 02:43
I don't fold up, and I don't bow 02:45
I don't roll over, don't know how 02:47
I don't care where the enemies are 02:49
Can't be stopped, all I know, go hard 02:51
Won't forget how I got this far 02:53

[English]

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 flip 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, I 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 fell
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, go, go
Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's that working out 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 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 up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
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 (Go), go, (Go)
Go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go), go (Go)
