Live and Let Go

[Hook: Maverick Sabre]

All these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

Yeah, I can live and let go

So I can get through this

[Verse 1: Suffa]

You know the pain can

Hang in the air like cigarette smoke, right?

Sometimes trying to live and let go

Like trying to talk with a mouth full of cinnamon though

I’m trying to crawl out the skin I'm in so

I can see through the eyes of a loved one, eyes of an enemy

Rising above sometimes takes a pedigree

That I fear that I don’t posses

And turns hope into hopelessness

But I won't depress

Won’t let life wear me down

Staring down as the troubles all rush past

Some part their wary brow

And wear a frown like a handlebar mustache

So we live, I forgive and forget

Rather than to live with regret

It's like living with debt

It’s a weight that'll curve your spine

Living with hurt is like serving time

[Hook: Maverick Sabre]

[Verse 2: Brother Ali]

I pay homage to obstacles

Thin line between honor and horrible

The healing heart knows the eyes must overflow

Tears clear the windows that guard the soul

Now that the water flow, you can scrub the mud out of your land

The blood out of your hands

But you still gotta cleanse your heart that’s trying to beat inside

And it’s only purified by the tears you cry

You can fight all the devils and slay them

But if you’re made hard at the days end then they win

There’s only one force that can solve all this

I want the warm heart that we all start with

Sometimes we march out, ball our fists

I will give it all up for my softness

You will never invade my Holy place

I let the tears dry on my face

[Hook: Maverick Sabre]

[Verse 3: Pressure]

If these walls could talk they’d sing a somber song

And if we stronger from this world that goes on and on

We wear our scarring like armor made our problems from

Void of feeling, time ticking sitting on a bomb

So disengaged, hopin' that this fades

Reaching out but the dark taking focus away

This road’s paved by the brave without knowing the way

Don’t stray bro, they didn't build Rome in a day

Now I don't need to satisfy, seize to set a tie

Just the feeling peace and gratify

If we don’t reach for the stars, only reach for satellite

We'll live in faded color, but dream in black and white

I know our demons walk among us

The struggle is something that we do, not something to become us

So let go of all the suffering and hurt

Yo, unless we ball it up and we burst

[Bridge: Maverick Sabre]

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

So I can get through this, so I can get through this
