Yeah, yo 00:32
You were that foundation 00:34
Never gonna be another one, no 00:36
I followed, so taken 00:38
So conditioned, I could never let go 00:40
Then sorrow, then sickness 00:41
Then the shock when you flip it on me 00:44
So hollow, so vicious 00:46
So afraid, I couldn't let myself see 00:48
That I could never be held 00:50
Back or up, no, I hold myself 00:51
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well 00:53
Forget the rest, let them know my hell 00:55
There and back, yet my soul ain't sell 00:57
Kept respect up, the best they fell 00:59
Let the rest be the tale they tell 01:01
That I was there, saying 01:03
In these promises broken, deep below 01:05
Each word gets lost in the echo 01:10
So, one last lie I can see through 01:13
This time, I finally let you go, go, go 01:18
Test my will, test my heart 01:30
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up 01:32
Y'all go hard, I go smart 01:34
How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh? 01:36
I've seen that, frustration 01:38
Been crossed and lost and told no 01:39
And I've come back, unshaken 01:42
Let down and lived and let go 01:43
So, you can let it be known 01:46
I don't hold back, I hold my own 01:47
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned 01:49
I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone 01:51
I can't fall back, I came too far 01:53
Hold myself up and love my scars 01:55
Let the bells ring wherever they are 01:57

Lyrics & Translation

[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)
