about

Type in "0" to get this song for free.

This song is all about the classic case of blowing things out of proportion on social media. Some things are really not worth the stress and anxiety. Yet, many of us take things on the internet so personally to the detriment of our mental health. Sometimes you just need to know when to "let it go!".

lyrics

Verse 1:

Difference of opinion is what makes us individuals
...Resorting to temper tantrums over the miniscule
Lack of alignment on a world view is pitiful
If you are one of those individuals I pity you
Some can’t debate with any sort of fact or logic
So when you outdebate them they raise their voice a few octaves
Like loud equals right...
I sense the tone and direction quickly realize that it ain’t even worth the fight
Way too many conflicts escalate unnecessarily
Live to fight another day, let it go and let it be
Don’t live to regret b, look at the larger picture
Walk away when things are getting outta hand like an awful pitcher
That’s why I stay clear of religious and political
Topics that been known historically to be pivotal
Like a see-saw, may the odds be in your favour
I’m grown and am no longer at odds so see ya later

Hook:
God forbid you disagree with a stance on it
Temperature rises to the point you put your hands on me
It’s like damn homie, not that serious
Fall back, take a breath, point blank period
You need to let it go
You need to let it go
You need to let it go
You need to let it go

Verse 2:

The gift and the curse as we know as the social network
The same network creates some head hurt
Its toxicity is par for the course
That you can allow to affect you to your heart and your core
But its not that deep, why some of y’all be losing sleep
Someone with an opposing stance told you to take a seat
Now you retreat to that weak statement that beats me how
If you blah blah blah blah...you can delete me now
Like being your friend is a badge of honour
Who are you to judge?...oh my bad your honour
....Working yourself up over trivial things
Jamiroquai virtual insanity and all in between
Seems... you need to let it go and leave stress at the office
Baggage handlers bringing their baggage home need some solace
Social media was meant to be an escape
From life’s prison, some can’t envision life once reaching the gate

Hook:

Verse 3:

April 11th...year was 2020
2 hiphop legends went into battle, it was friendly
You can say it's for the culture like the modern day catch phrase
Social media was a fanfare and fan craze
Pre-game analysis, predictions and the aftermath
Who’s gonna take it, and who doesn’t really stand a chance
The back and forth between both sides, I swear to God
Peeps was swiping at each other more than a debit card
Back in the days before taps and the online option
At its peak 200K was online watching
These legends dropping snippets from their catalogue of hits
IG live was filled with heads down to tag alongs and sh*t
...Without fail you know the aftermath was recaps
All over my feed peeps took hammers to the kneecaps
Of those who opposed the real winner perceived
More back and forth than one could’ve believed...geez it’s not that serious
