[INTRO - RUFFIAN] Yeah... Some things you gotta fight for. Some things you gotta build. And some things... You just gotta let go. [VERSE 1 - RUFFIAN | DRILL MASTER] I ain't carrying that weight no more Left old keys by an old closed door All that doubt that was living rent-free Can't take another minute living inside of me I learned what to keep, learned what to release Learned sometimes walking is protecting your peace Old habits, old grudges, old versions of me I looked 'em in the face and said, "You gotta leave" Gone. All the noise that was clouding my vision Gone. All the fear that was blocking decisions Gone. All the people who only came for the shine Gone. I ain't taking yesterday into mine I got a future that deserves my attention A life that requires more than constant protection I spent enough years looking over my shoulder Now I'm looking ahead and the view getting bolder [HOOK - RUFFIAN | DANCEHALL] Gone, gone, gone Let it go and move along Gone, gone, gone What was holding me ain't holding me no more Gone, gone, gone New day coming with the dawn I survived, I learned, I grew Now I'm making room for something new [VERSE 2 - RUFFIAN | DRILL MASTER] Gone are the days I was proving my worth Gone are the nights I was fighting the world Gone is the need to be understood I know who I am and that's more than enough I don't need revenge, I don't need receipts I don't need to explain every choice that I make Some people can stay in the past where they belong And I can wish them well while I'm moving along I ain't bitter, I'm better That's the difference right there I ain't running from the past I just don't live there Every chapter had a purpose Every season had a reason But when the page turns over You gotta honor the next season [PRE-HOOK - RUFFIAN | DANCEHALL] So tell 'em... Mi nah carry that weight no more Mi nah stand by the same old door New rhythm, new vision, new day What gone is gone, let it stay [HOOK - RUFFIAN | DANCEHALL] Gone, gone, gone Let it go and move along Gone, gone, gone What was holding me ain't holding me no more Gone, gone, gone New day coming with the dawn I survived, I learned, I grew Now I'm making room for something new [BRIDGE - RUFFIAN | BOTH SIDES] [DRILL MASTER] I had to become disciplined enough to let it go. [DANCEHALL KING] And free enough to enjoy what came after. [DRILL MASTER] No more carrying what ain't mine. [DANCEHALL KING] No more wasting precious time. [BOTH] We learned the lesson. We paid the price. Now open the door... And let life in. [VERSE 3 - RUFFIAN | DANCEHALL KING] Now the bassline knocking and the whole place moving I got too much life, what I got to be proving? Raise one for the lessons, two for the days Three for the people who helped me change I can dance with the future, I can smile at the past I can thank every season without making it last What broke me once ain't controlling me now I got rhythm in my feet and some peace in my house [DRILL MASTER] And I still got the bars, still sharp with the pen Still know how to build, still know how to defend But strength ain't dragging every old chain Strength is knowing when to cut that chain [DANCEHALL KING] So wine up, move forward, celebrate life Leave yesterday where it belongs tonight No looking back every time that the beat gets strong If it ain't serving your future... [BOTH] GONE. [FINAL HOOK - BOTH] Gone, gone, gone Let it go and move along Gone, gone, gone What was holding me ain't holding me no more Gone, gone, gone New day coming with the dawn I survived, I learned, I grew Now I'm making room for something new [OUTRO - RUFFIAN | SPOKEN] Some things leave. Some things change. And some things... you finally realize you were never supposed to carry. Gone.
