Am
Em
If you love somethin', let it go
If it comes back to you, it's yours
Am
If it doesn't, it never was
Hold me down, baby
Chorus 1
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Verse 1
Em
Hold me down, niggas wanna know me now
Didn't want to play with me,
wanted to show me how
Am
No meow, 'cause it's all about the bark
Let the dog loose, baby, it's about to spark
Em
Light up the night, like the 4th of July
Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die
Am
'Cause why? And you don't know
you slow like Baltimore
If you ain't trying to go, you blow
Em
I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence
When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest
Am
Leaves the dog barking up the tree for the cat
In the fog but y'all niggas see is the bat
Em
Flapping away but I'm blind like Stevie
Niggas don't hear me, still trying to see me
Am
Stop being greedy, you heard what I said
Let me go, let me flow on my bed
Chorus 2
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Verse 2
Em
I sold my soul to the devil,
and the price was cheap
And yo, it's cold on this level,
'cause it's twice as deep
Am
But you don't hear me,
ignorance is bliss and so on
Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb
Shall I go on?
Em
Yo, on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery
How is it I can live and make history?
Am
If you don't see it,
then it wasn't meant for you to see
If you wasn't born wit' it,
then it wasn't meant for you to be
Em
But you can't blame me
for not wantin' to be hound
Lock down in a cell wit' a soul gettin' dwelled
Am
This is hell, go get the devil
and get me the key
But can't be worst than the curse
that was given to me
Em
It's what I live for,
you take away that and I'm gone
There's a difference between doin' wrong
and being wrong
Am
And that ain't right
Let's keep it fair baby
Put me in the air,
and I'll take it there baby (yes)
Chorus 3
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Verse 3
Em
I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist
until I'm trapped
I'ma continue to hit the hardest
whether I scrap or rap
Am
Give me dap, but you ain't my friend
I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end
Em
You waitin' for that bend in the road,
where you were told
That you would go, when you were old
And if you died young, it was cold
Am
Sold, not for nearly what it was worth
Think back 26 years, be like, "What if his birth
Em
Was a miscarriage and I never existed?"
Have I given something that if taken away,
you'd have missed it?
Am
Didn't know, yet I persisted,
it was the call of the wild
I merely say what's in my heart
and you call it a style
Em
Don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it
You say you hunger for knowledge?
Here it is, eat it
Am
Another song completed
is another thought captured
Let me do my thing,
I got it locked with this rap shit
Chorus 4
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Chorus 5
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
Am
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
Chorus 6
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Or give me death, uh uh uh,
or take my breath
Am
I'ma die anyway,
But I'll be gone any day
Em
Or give me death, uh uh uh,
or take my breath
Am
I'ma die anyway,
Outro 1
But I'll be gone any day
Em
For my niggas
Uh, ah, for my niggas
Am
Uh, ah, for my niggas
Uh, ah, for my niggas
[Repeat and fade]
