When you were born, you came here and passed through
You grew up and settled, gaining knowledge in your school
You lived through many eras
Faced many challenges here, but couldn't overcome them
But don't be afraid
Believe that you will succeed and no one can stop you
You may fall, but you must rise again
The devil tries to confuse your mind, leading you astray
Let me go, let me go, I'm on my way
If you don't go, I'll go, I'm hustling day by day
Let me go, let me go, I'm on my way
If you don't go, I'll go, I'm hustling day by day
I know what I'm collecting
God, protect me until I return to my mother
I hear the voices of the people
Searching for where I failed, I'm moving forward
God, give me a voice
Let me work hard and speak meaningful words
When they find their hearts are tight
Wait for me to lift my burdens
Let me go, let me go, I'm on my way
If you don't go, I'll go, I'm hustling day by day
Let me go, let me go, I'm on my way
If you don't go, I'll go, I'm hustling day by day
You don't know who I was
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I believe, you want to judge me
You don't see my heart
You don't enter my mind
You don't love how I am, you want to judge me
Elz is flying but Elz won't fall
Elz is a bit crazy but has parental prayers
What Elz has lived, those who don't know can't handle
A true lion roars, you won't hear it retreat
Yesterday I was with Efya, today I'm with Natty playing
Traveling everywhere in the world like a plane

Hiding in the bushes, barking like dogs
They have no cement, just stacking bricks in the mud
Yeah, at 16 pages I'm writing 16
Born to do something big like being with Cease
Huey Peace, 2016, I'm writing scenes
Like Sembene, I hated school but loved Césaire's son
Let me go, let me go, I'm on my way eh eh
If you don't go, I'll go, I'm hustling day by day
You don't know who I was
You don't know where I've been
You don't know what I believe, you want to judge me
You don't see my heart
You don't enter my mind
You don't love how I am, you want to judge me
