When I was [G]6 years old, I kinda wet the bed
My [Em]stepdad came in and nearly beat me to death

My [D]momma, she was working, there was nobody there
My [G]nana showed up, she was super protective
Had a [Em]tear in her eye, she saw how I was neglected
The [C]crazy part about it, she’s a straight up detective
But you [D]never would’ve guessed it, how she’d cook you a breakfast
[Am]Three weeks later, she had him locked in a cell
Now I’m [D]seven years old with a story to tell singing
[chorus]
[G]I’m gonna [D]let it [Em]go, forgiveness [C]is some[Am]thing we [G]gotta [D]know
‘Cause if you h[G]old on [D]forever, it’ll [Em]hurt your [C]soul
That’s why I’m [G]learning how to [D]let it [Em]go, that’s why I’m [G]learning how to [D]let it [G]go
