Letting Go from Daybreak by Skinny Hendrixx

See when I concentrate I break my focus
Makes more sense when I just let it flow
I always lose the things I hold the closest
You’d think that if be better at just lettin go
But I’ll never loosen my grip
I been to hell and came back
Said I ain’t losin to this
The mind can take a fool for a trip
I’ve been a fool for the cream
Tryna be cool in the whip
And I can honestly say
Ain’t no praying for tomorrow when you’re dying today
Nah, I can honestly say
Ain’t no praying for tomorrow when you’re dying today
But I came back stronger
I can’t wait much longer
I’m gone take what’s mine now
I’m gone make it shine now

Soldiers falling all around like we at bloody war
Ain’t nobody pay for what you study for
My homie’s doin a bid and now he’s losing his kids
Cuz he love his family but his money more shit
Had to lose a lot to gain a little knowledge
Learned the most when I had none to lose
Sold my soul to earn a couple dollars
Along the way I lost a couple screws
Cuz the wrong way that’s a long way down
But things are finally lookin up
I’ma let the song play out
I’ma let that song play through
Keep that long way view
And when I see you up in heaven we gone rendezvous
But for now I’m kickin up dust
Puttin my trust in the wind
Lookin fear in the eye
This one’s for me and my kin
This one’s for everybody watchin me and prayin I win
So when they see me on the tv they like there go my friend

It’s hard to realize at first aint it
How permanent our actions really are
As much as we resurface and repaint it
This life just has a way of leavin scars
I remember bein out when it was rainin
And Johnny’s mom would let me sleep out in her car
I remember having dreams of bein famous
Way before I had my first drink at the bar
I had so many damn resentments bottled up inside
Rather wallow in my sorrow than to swallow pride
I remember how it felt the day tomorrow died
When I got off the beaten path and chose to follow mine
So picture me rollin conquer waterfalls and oceans
Paradise lost
A paradigm for mixed emotions
On my Bob Ross these happy trees have got me open livin fantasies
No gravity it’s like I’m floatin through the canopy’s of Oakland with no plans to leave
No not for long at least
Economy been on the rise from potent ganjah seeds
Open minds can open eyes to what’s been hard to see
We went from starved to eatin time to feed this artistry
Yeah
Cuz it’s always been a part of me
Yeah
That’s why I came back stronger
I can’t wait much longer
I’m gone take what’s mine now
I’m gone make it shine now
