[Verse 2]
When I was [G]six years old,
I kinda [D]wet the bed
[Em]My stepdad came in and nearly
beat me to death
[Am]All bruised and broken,
I [G]was lonely [D]and scared
My mom, she was working,
there was nobody there
My [G]nana showed up,
she was [D]su per protective
Had [Em]a tear in her eye,
she saw how I was neglected
The [Am]crazy part about it, she's
a [G]straight-up detective
detect[D]ive
But you never would've guessed
it, how she'd cook you a breakfast
[Am]Three weeks later,
she had him locked in a cell
Now I'm [D]seven years old
with a story to tell
Sing [G]it
I'm gonna [D]let it go

[Verse 3]

Now [G]middle school's here,
a new [D]chapter in life
[Em]New stepdad, too,
made my mama his wife
Got [Am]new problems now, like [G]tryna fit [D]in
Getting looked down on just
because of your skin
It's [G]bad enough,
I can't af[D]ford them clothes
[Em]Got high water's on
with holes in my sole
Now, [Am]that's the type of stuff to
put a hole in your soul
But, [D]uh, I'm just gonna, uh, I'm just gonna

[Verse 5]
[G]I'm gonna let[D] it go[Em]
[Am]Forgiveness is something
[G]we got[D]ta know
'Cause if you [G]hold on [Bm]forever,
it'll [Em]hurt [C]your soul
That's why I'm [Em]learning how [D]to let [G]it go

[Verse 6]
I'm grown [C]up now,
I learned [D]enough for a song
[G]Still got[Em] some friends,[G]
but most [Am]of 'em gone
Overdoses or [G]killed [D]by a gun
Breaking into houses, life on the run
[C]Did it for his [G]kid,
now he [D]won't be around
Guess the [Am]little one's [Em]gonna be just
like me [Am]now
If you're carrying the bitterness
around on your shoulders
[D]Then just remember what I told you
[G]Sing it
I'm gonna [D]let it go
