ILL BILL - Let It Go lyrics

A Puerto Rican father, an Italian mother
Born in Brooklyn sometime around the summer
With my little baby brother we
A family of four
Getting by, cause the family was poor
And before the family, we was all kinda happy
Before the divorce
Before sadness would grab me
An evil in pops kept her smiling
Channel 9, Thanksgiving, Monster Island
Zombies in front of the TV, a reality escape
Mom prays, her morality's at stake
Formality of faith was blind, but it saved us
From the chaos that awaited in the streets
Streets of New York was my pop's playground
Sadistic, selfish bastard that
Never stayed around
But it was all for the better though
Whenever we was left alone
Settle for whatever
Mom said we gotta let it go

Oh oh oh, my world it's getting much better
There's laughter instead of tears and sorrow

My world really is something
It's making my heart sing
It keeps my smiling

I had a crazy father, an even iller mother
Born in Flushing
Queens sometime around the summer
With my little baby brother
We a family of four
And ain't have jack shit, cause we was poor
And honestly
I don't even remember them being cool
They fought a lot
I think it taught me how to be a goon
And when they got divorced
We stayed with mom dukes
And they were better off apart
And that's the hard truth
Got into music and comic books
A reality escape
Mom prays, her morality's at stake
Then she violently became religious
That's when I rebelled with hate
In the projects listening to Hell Await's
And my pops was nowhere to be found
Barely around
He started a new family across town
But it was all for the better though
Whenever we was left alone
Settle for whatever
Mom said we had to let it go

Oh oh oh, my world it's getting much better
There's laughter instead of tears and sorrow

My world really is something
It's making my heart sing
It keeps my smiling

Oh oh oh, my world it's getting much better
There's laughter instead of tears and sorrow

My world really is something
It's making my heart sing
It keeps my smiling
