let it through

Lyrics

they told me to stay focused, keep that money on my mind, but i'm starting to think that it's all bullshit, run it, i wanna take it back to the basics, back to the basement, back to the old, gray pads and make statements, follow it down, momma watched me throw it all to the wind and rebound, used to cry on the porch when i wasn't around, now she smiles from the side of the stage when i'm in town, love ya, ain't a better feeling than the work, was a young'n when i started trying to put it into words, now i'm grown, traveling the globe on a verse, clock keeps ticking, i'll follow it to the dirt, chea, the worth, the price, the, the man in the middle trying to keep it on the map, the train keeps moving down the tracks on schedule, so i just gotta open up the gates now and let it through, open up the gates now and let it through, looking for a place with a better view, i've been on the wrong side trying, it's time to make moves, open up the gates now, i'm coming through, sick of playing games and the paying dues, everything was upside down, but it's time now, they told me to stay humble, and i ain't ever cross that line, but i'm starting to watch where it was crumbled, jump, i wanna take it back to roots, back to the truth, back to the rhythm, and the blues, back to the chords on the baldwin, poppa let the record spin 'round like a calm wind, he used to look at me like i'm a ghost, now he's calling on the weekends, talking 'bout home, there ain't another version of the past, they speak riddles, i'm only in it for facts, young man made a future out of filling up the cracks, in the bottom of a boat they tried to label as crashed, now the wind, the sails, the sea, the man trying to hold it all together by the seams, the keeps floating like a dream on schedule, so i just gotta open up the main port and let it through, open up the gates now and let it through, looking for a place with a better view, i've been on the wrong side trying, it's time to make moves, open up the gates now, i'm coming through, sick of playing games and the paying dues, everything was upside down, but it's time now, i'm opening the gates, following the sun out of the maze, every single minute's been a haze, i return it to the page, i return it to the blood and examine it, flow through the animus, roll though the foes, and the hoes and the plan of it, never been a motherfucking fan of it, never saw my name in the manuscript, i'm ick of looking for a place i can stand in this, all i wanted was to fly, listen to it, open up the gates now and let it through, looking for a place with a better view, i've been on the wrong side trying, it's time to make moves, open up the gates now, i'm coming through, sick of playing games and the paying dues, everything was upside down, but it's time now, yeah
