           G
When I was 6 years old, I kinda wet the bed
     Em
My stepdad came in and nearly beat me to death
      Am
All bruised and broken, I was lonely and scared
    D
My momma, she was workin', there was nobody there
    G
My nana showed up, she was super  protective
       Em
Had a tear in her eye, she saw how I was neglected
     Am
The crazy part about it,
she's a straight up detective
         D
But you never would've guessed it,
how she'd cook you a breakfast

 Am
Three weeks later, she had him locked in a cell
          D
Now I'm seven years old with a story to tell singin'

Chorus:
 G         D     Em
I'm gonna let it go,
            Am            G         D
forgiveness is somethin' we gotta know
               G         D             Em       C
'Cause if you hold on forever, it'll hurt your soul
                Em              D      G C
That's why I'm learnin' how to let it go
                G               D      G
That's why I'm learnin' how to let it go

Now middle school's here, a new chapter in life
New stepdad too, made my mama his wife
Got new problems now, like tryna fit in
Getting looked down on just because of your skin
It's bad enough, I can't afford them clothes
Got high waters on with holes in my sole
Now, that's the type of stuff to put
a hole in your soul
But I, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna

Chorus:
I'm gonna let it go (Learning, learning)
Forgiveness is something we gotta know
(Learning, learning)
'Cause if you hold on forever, it'll hurt your soul
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
(Learning, learning)
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
Let it go (Learning, learning)
Yeah

I'm grown up now, I learned enough for a song
Still got some friends (Yeah), but most of 'em gone
(They gone)
Overdoses or killed by a gun
Breaking into houses, life on the run
Did it for his kid, now he won't be around
Guess the little one's gonna be just like me now
If you're carrying the bitterness around
on your shoulders
Just remember what I told you
Sing it

Chorus:
I'm gonna let it go (Learning, learning)
Forgiveness is something we gotta know
(Learning, learning)
'Cause if you hold on forever, it'll hurt your soul
(hurt your soul)
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
(Learning, learning)
That's why I'm learning how to let it go
(Come on, learning learning)
I'm learning how to let it go
