Collective Efforts - Let It Alone lyrics

You can't close the horizon of possibility down too soon In other words there shouldn't be a rush to faith, all right Either you got faith or you don't have faith At the very moment that i realize i don't have it i'm questing for it And therefore you know evolving into the faith And also showing that i got something to hold onto even while i'm questioning what it is [verse 1] I wanna do what's right now while it's in my brain Cuz later on man i might not feel the same And i don't really feel it's right to conceal your pain It bubbles up inside and people start k**in things So i'm going to let it hang move on to better things Living in environments where everything's really strange So many people in this city ain't livin right And make it so the good people can't chill at night Just wanna get in fights sit inside an alleyway Scopin like a predator does until it finds a prey I pray that ain't me caught up in a dark street I'd rather spill emotions on beats and let the song speak Reach inside and never hide when i'm feeling down Many are gone but there's good people still around To lift you back up and show you light the cats off **** You just gotta have what a lotta people don't [Hook] Faith in whatever you do Some real a** friends that will forever be true And even when you feel like you'll never get through Never forget nobody out there is better than you We're all the same just some flesh and bone Some people like to treat you like a stepping stone They step at you wrong smile at em and remember the song Sometimes it's better when you let it alone [verse2] Well if tomorrow never comes i know i gave it my best Swtuck with it till it was done and never settled for less And when i rest i want my name to still be mentioned with praise Instead of where brother headed in the earlier days I see a land of opportunity and nobody gives I guess some folk can build immunity to teachin their kid Who am i to judge another man for makin mistakes I made em too and know i've got a few bad habits to break But for the sake of other people try to stay on the path You mama asked me to strength and build a bond that'll last Forgot the cla** without the fashion and the flash it was like And now we're showing some videos showing they a**es Another man with a mike I'd like to make it but if that's what it is I'll have to pa** on that mistake and stick to rockin the crib I don't know what rap is but now it's time for a change And bring it back to how it happened in the early days Oh you gotta have [Hook] [verse3] Yes sometimes it's better when you let it develop Until fellas is better way tougher than leather to stack It's just whether or not i collect my efforts in a method that's correct And what i cla**ify my best i pa**ify the rest With a pound and a compliment I had to try to get off the ground with my confidence Glad to cry regret Oh my sound is a noness And my sad reply is yes I'm bound by common sense Lets crash test the heart And intellect Play chicken with art and religion and what do you get Well i'm a product of environmental paradox I had to rock the block party Shaken by the after shock I laugh alot at the fools who get juiced up But the fact is the slaves and the ma**es produce dust The truth s**s when it breaks your perception Take a long look at your reflection and build that, that, that, that...
