Lecrae, Emilio Rojas - Let It Go (Young Girl) lyrics

Yeah yeah i'm trying to get through to you
You don't listen just hear me out

You're too young to look that tired
Too sweet to be that sad
Any moment it all could end
So please treat the day like your last chance
I know that's family that
You're caring for
I know you're feeling so obligated
I ain't saying don't help at
Home but your sister's son
You ain't gotta raise him
You sacrificed your life
When she wouldn't even sacrifice her night
You babysitted, playing with him
When she wasn't acting right
Don't you got your own dreams, own goals
It ain't right that you gotta
Put them on hold you went to school but now
You don't go because
You're scared she's gonna leave
Him home alone you walking in the crib and
She passed out again
Your nephew crying on the floor
His ass is out again
Because she done smoked up
All the diaper money
And so you laugh to keep from crying
Trying act as life is fucking funny
And I know when you showing them love
That you're just trying to help
But your life will be passing you by if
You don't get it done for yourself
And the way that you're doing it now
I'm afraid that it's affecting your health
Because you're living for somebody else

Young girl, young girl so much on your plate
And you just one girl, one girl
Life ain't gonna wait for them to let you go
So I think you gotta let it go

They don't want you to leave
They want you to stay
But you should be pulling away if
Nobody is pulling they're weight
And it's okay
You wanna live a little in your own way
Maybe you would get your bills payed if you
Didn't have to pay for her mistakes
Yeah, and you?, you worry about them
You're terrified and you're scared to move
Like you're paralyzed
And the guilt will eat you like a parasite
She living all reckless, going
On benders acting offensive, right
And you've given up friendships
Given up men, you've given up every night
And you've given up paychecks
And you pay the rent just save them
She complicating your life because she
Wanna act so damn basic
And you take it because you want approval
Don't you know that they wanna use you
Don't you know that it'll ruin you
And you gotta leave
It ain't wrong to do you
And I know when you showing them love
That you're just trying to help
But your life will be passing you by if
You don't get it done for yourself
And the way that you're doing it now
I'm afraid that it's affecting your health
Because you're living for somebody else

Young girl, young girl so much on your plate
And you just one girl, one girl
Life ain't gonna wait for them to let you go
So I think you gotta let it go

It ain't about what you will
Do or you won't do
But are you willing to do
Anything that he want to
Because he don't want you, he want you to
Just run through, many men, plenty sin
Pretty slim chance he'll hold you
He tells you that you're beautiful
He tells you that you're fine
He tells you to go hit the strip and
Go flip a trick for them dimes
Little mama must be sick
Because she's cold than a mother
Looking like her daddy pitching because
She throwed than a mother
And you ask her why she do it
Say she do it for the money
Plus a couple shots of this and she'll
Go do it for a hunned
She's a young girl, young girl, no class
Dumb girl
But that don't mean you can't change
And that don't mean you're done girl
And I told her "Little mama don't
Lower yourself to be a esteemed"
You were made in God's image
I can see that in your genes
And they all up in your jeans
But that don't mean you're nothing lesser
I'll leave that money on a dresser
Get dressed and keep your respect
Because you's a

Young girl, young girl so much on your plate
And you just one girl, one girl
Life ain't gonna wait for them to let you go
So I think you gotta let it go
