Echoes

(album: Goodnight Nashville - 2018)

This rap shit is easy
You just gotta tell the truth
(Just let go, just let go)

Heard you was fucking with them bars and them percs you fuck with hard
Never predicted how'd I miss it you were fucking with that tar
Broke my heart just learning that I pray to God you're turning back
My partner seen you out today
He said your teeth was turning black
That ain't the person I know
I know there's hurt in your soul
We stopped enabling we never deserted you though
I only wrote this fucking song
So you would personally know
I damn near shed a fucking tear on every verse that I wrote
I paid for rehab now you know what's up
If you just fucking opened up
Your hard neck is if you really really wanna sober up
Lord knows right now I'm telling the truth
To a priest in the confessional both
And he told me to

Let go just let go
Have you heard the sound of an empty soul
When it echoes, when it echoes, when it echoes
Let go just let go
Have you heard the sound of an empty soul
When it echoes, when it echoes, when it echoes

I knew a lady with six sugar daddies
She still was never happy
She could away from anything
As if it never happened
Her heart was callous
From all the lies inside
The haunted palace
Stuck between the fantasy
And nightmare without a balance, wasted talent
I feel as if there's nothing worse
Then to have to feel this pain
But then act like nothing hurts
Is there really love after the war
Have you ever heard a fucking grown man's heart
Shatter before ever talk back to the Lord
As if you're mad the Lord give it your all
Let your heart fall flat on the floor
Forgive me lord a friend is who asking this for
And then I heard a passionate voice it told me to

Let go just let go
Have you heard the sound of an empty soul
When it echoes, when it echoes, when it echoes
Let go just let go
Have you heard the sound of an empty soul
When it echoes, when it echoes, when it echoes

I can't let go
Have you heard the sound
Of an empty soul
When it echoes
Just let go
Have you heard the sound
Of an empty soul
When it echoes
When it echoes
When it echoes

Where I'm from niggas hate you
'Cause you got what they don't
Money rule the world and turn you niggas on
Instead of being like Mike they wanna be like Kobe
We poke from the stars so we give up hope
Seem tired moving on, so we get how we live
Young niggas can have this money
Can you take care of the kids
Damn ain't that a shame
Better wise up kick
Take your dope out your nose
It's time to pay the rent

Let go just let go
Have you heard the sound of an empty soul
When it echoes, when it echoes, when it echoes
Let go just let go
Have you heard the sound of an empty soul
When it echoes, when it echoes, when it echoes
