Janelle Monae - Lettin' Go Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Oooh! I got a call today, from my job up the block*
It was my boss to say, you know we like you a lot
But we don't need you J, you daydream too much,
Well man I'm glad ya'll let me go!

Cause with no 9 to 5, it's a brand new day!
My rents due but I'm a party any way!
I feel so alive, stress just faded away!
It's time to live my own life!

[Chorus:]
So, I'm a let it go!
Gonna leave my worries behind!
Gotta take control!
I just came to have a good time!
I'm a let it go, no time for stress on my mind!
I'm a lettin go! Oooh I'm lettin go!

[Verse 2:]
That's right, left right
I'm losing it to music, cameras, bright lights!
I'm staying out all night
Don't shove don't fight!
Well make a million memories - all incredible!
Cause with no 9 to 5 it's a brand new day!
Got bills due, but I'm a party anyway
I feel so alive! Stress just faded away
It's time I live my own life!

[Chorus:]
So, I'm a let it go!
Gonna leave my worries behind!
Gotta take control!
I just came to have a good time!
I'm a let it go, no time for stress on my mind!
I'm a lettin go! Oooh I'm lettin go!

[Bridge:]
(Dance away your rainy days)
Oh! Come on and dance with me right now!
(Just for a little while!)
Hey! Just, for a, just for a little while!
(I know it's hot but we gon keep it cool!)
I know it's hot ya'll, aye, but wait a minute, we gon keep it cool!
(One last chance, come on and dance!)
Come on and dance with me!
I'm a let it go!

[Chorus:]
I'm a let it go!
Gonna leave my worries behind!
Gotta take control!
I just came to have a good time!
I'm a let it go, no time for stress on my mind!
I'm a lettin go!

Oh, yeah, alright everybody!
Now, I see ya'll jammin out there!
But I want ya'll to do one more thing for me, one more thing!
Now, when I say L-E-T-T-I-N G-O!
I want everybody to repeat after me
On the count of 1-2-3! Unh!
(L-E-T-T-I-N G-O!)

Yeah! Come on we gotta let go!
Awww I see ya!
Now we gon break this down -
Like this!
(L-E-T-T-I-N G-O!)
Clap ya hands! Unh!
(L-E-T-T-I-N G-O!)
If you wanna dance, I'm a make you dance,
If you wanna groove, I'm a make you move.

Congratulations to you,
You had to let it go
You finally let it go
I'm glad you let it go
Do do do do doo

{*Sigh*} Dance.

Congratulations to you
You had to let it go
I'm glad you let it go
You finally let it go
Glad you let it go.

You keep dreamin,
Don't let your dreams die,
You know?
Life is not a rehearsal.
You gotta live it out.
You gotta do it baby.
You gotta do what you're gonna do.
Come on, somebodys gotta hear me
