Things are getting outta control
Feels like I’m running out of soul
You’re getting heavy to hold
Think I’ll be letting you go

My self portrait shows a man that the wealth tortured
Self-absorbed with his own self-forfeit
Worshiping the war ships that set sail on my sea of life
When I see my old self, I wonder if we still see alike
We was tight seeing lights
Speaking right and breathing life
Now I see my demons and barely even sleep at night
I don’t get high, life keeps me at a decent height
As the old me, I predicted all my recent plights
Exhausted, trying to fall asleep, lost inside my recent fights
Burdens on my shoulders now, burnin’ all my motives down
Inspiration drying up, motivation slowing down
I was high off of life, didn’t need a pill in here
But you’re killing me, I think I need a will in here

Things are getting outta control
Feels like I’m running out of soul
You’re getting heavy to hold
Think I’ll be letting you go

I’m begging me don’t let me go
We vow like the letter “O”
To never go our separate ways
And spin-off into separate shows
Tired of all the wardrobe changin’
Playing all these extra roles
Filled with all these different spirits
Livin’ off these separate souls
Point in life is getting hollow
Can’t wait for the exit hole
Give me room the entry wound. Let me in and let me go
So I can roam around this wilderness
See it for what it really is
Unprepared and filterless
Magnify the youth in me, alibi the shootin’ spree
Amplify the revolution, sanitize the lunacy
Strip away the justice, justify the scrutiny
I can see the LASERS (stands for: Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile) shootin’ out of you and me

Things are getting outta control
Feels like I’m running out of soul
You’re getting heavy to hold
Think I’ll be letting you go

Lyrics by Lupe Fiasco from song “Letting Go” which I very slightly changed. Full song is linked at the end of this post.

He was referring mainly to letting go of his record deal mainly because of corporate interests getting in the way of his AMAZING talent. But I think his message can pretty much be applied to any situation.

In my situation, sometimes I feel like letting go of life altogether and putting an end to it all. Too bad we as human beings don’t have control/ownership over our own existence. (Click here for more info).

Too bad all the mainstream shit they make us listen to on the radio today is absolute garbage, and real tracks like this are completely underground.
