Let It Out Lyrics - Lisa Left Eye Lopes

Verse 1 

The alarm clock rung 

Momma woke her out the bed 

She's gettin' dressed for school 

Puttin' barrettes in her head 

An honor roll student real smart 

That's what they said 

Every morning when she left 

Mom would cook her grits and eggs 

Pops worked two jobs 

To bring in the bread 

Momma stayed in the kitchen 

And kept her well fed 

Now here she go 

Went to meet her friends 

At the bus stop 

On the avenue 

That's when the old Cadillac dropped 

The man that was drivin' 

Snatched her up around 8 o'clock 

While her friends and the bus driver 

Waitin' down the block 

No one heard her screamin' 

He turned the bass up a notch 

She was tampered with 

Second floor in an abandoned spot 

No telephone around 

So she couldn't call the cops 

He threw her in the bathroom 

Made sure the door was locked 

All she was thinkin' 

"Why me?" and "Will it stop?" 

All she was thinkin' 

"Why me?" and "Will it stop?" 

It's a damn shame 

 

Chorus Wayne 

Damn shame 

That someone 

That someone would want to mess with you 

And you just can't get them out your mind 

Try to replace bad times with smiles 

Let it out 

Out right now 

I know it's hard to talk about 

You gotta keep going on with your life 

Letting it out 

 

Verse 2 

The school bell rung 

For the first hour of school 

Her teacher called her moms 

Cuz she thinks she's skippin' school 

But if only they knew 

What was really goin' on 

She's cryin' for your help 

While y'all talkin' on the phone 

The teacher's on the wrong subject 

Sayin' that she think she grown 

Somebody call the police 

Damn callin' up Tyrone 

So her mother filed a report on her own 

This is the description that she gave what was known 

Fifteen 

She was last seen 

Standin' on the corner 

Eatin' ice cream 

At the bus stop 

On 10th Street and Milly Ave. 

Just a few feet 

From the spot 

Where she stayed 

Pink mini skirt 

And french braids 

Hundred-ten pounds 

What she weighed 

5 foot 2 

Eyes blue-grey 

 

Chorus Wayne 

Damn shame 

That someone 

That someone would want to mess with you 

And you just can't get them out your mind 

Try to replace bad times with smiles 

Let it out 

Out right now 

I know it's hard to talk about 

You gotta keep going on with your life 

Letting it out 

 

Verse 3 

Now back to the abandoned spot 

Where she's tryin' to pick the lock 

So he threw her in his 'lac 

Ridin' with the doors locked 

Drove her through the woods 

That was right around the block 

Dropped her off at the hospital 

In the parking lot 

The school bell rung 

For the end of a class 

At the same time 

She was runnin' in the flash 

To go and call her mother 

But her mother isn't there 

And when she finally seen her 

Speculation filled the air 

Her momma don't believe her 

She's keeps callin' her tricks and whores 

Sayin' I told you 'bout them older men before 

Her father didn't neither 

Afraid to face the sticks and stones 

And now she's searchin' for the grace to carry on 

It's a damn shame 

 

Chorus Wayne 

Damn shame 

That someone 

That someone would want to mess with you 

And you just can't get them out your mind 

Try to replace bad times with smiles 

Let it out 

Out right now 

I know it's hard to talk about 

You gotta keep going on with your life 

Letting it out 

 

Let it go 

Let it go 

I know it's hard 

But you should let it go 

Life goes on and you should know 

If you let it go 

Let it go 

 

Let it go 

You should let it go 

I know you'll make it 

If you let it go 

Life goes on and you should know 

Let it go 

Let it go
