[Lyric] Another Way (Caleb Gordon)

[VERSE]
It's always the same thing every single time
Like a merry-go
Like I'm runnin' 'round on a ride
I follow the One who put His pride in my design
Who knew a youngin' from Ocoee
Turned this water into wine
Lot of 'em talk but they don't know me
No, they only see one side
Smiled a lot but I was lonely way deep down inside
Me and my dawgs was chasin' chickens, I ain't talkin' Country Fried
Way I was moving, I was trippin', consequences changed my mind
We ain't know we was in bondage while we was yelling, "Tied"
No hands tied behind our backs but our spirits yelling, "Why--
Do we go back to the same old things and compromise
When we know that the same things lead to our demise?"
I know I got a message for my people, for my tribe
Will we learn our lesson, turn away from evil in disguise?
Or will my dawgs keep on beefin' with each other over pride?
I show em' all another way, you don't gotta pick a side
[Chorus]
Got me like, "Oo-oo, please let it go-oh-oh"
"All that hate up in your s-oh-oh-oul"
"Please let it go-oh"
I'm like, "Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh"
"All that hate up in your s-oh-oh-oul"
"Please let it go-oh"

[VERSE]
What happened to my brother back then had me traumatized
I remember what you told me, I just wish I had more time
Can't blame it on being young, nah, really I was blind
I had to go through the dark times to open up my eyes
Keep moving like I'm the man but I ain't too tough to cry
I get to shakin' in my hands when I speak what's on my mind
You wouldn't know what I've been through
If you looked inside my eyes
That's why I hop in the booth and give you pieces of my life
[Chorus]
Got me like, "Oo-oo, please let it go-oh-oh"
"All that hate up in your so-oh-oul"
"Please let it go-oh"
I'm like, "Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh"
"All that hate up in your so-oh-oul"
"Please let it go-oh"
