Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I met an old man sitting underneath a streetlight,
Eyes full of stories, face full of hard nights.
He said, “Son, I can tell by the way that you stare,
You been betting on people who don’t really care.
You been chasing that love that was never yours,
Knocking on windows while they closing doors.
You keep calling it faith, but I call it a trap,
Sometimes losing somebody is how you get back.”
He said, “Life ain’t fair, but it don’t have to be,
You can’t control the cards, only how you receive.
Some hands come loaded, some hands come weak,
Some lessons take years before you understand the speech.”
[Pre-Hook]
And I looked at the old man,
Like, “Tell me what you know…”
He smiled and said,
“Boy, the hardest thing in life
Is knowing when to let it go.”
[Hook – Soulful / Big]
Know when to hold on,
Know when to let go,
Know when to stand tall,
Know when to move slow.
Know when to fight for it,
Know when the fight is done,
You can’t win every battle
Just because you brought a gun.
Don’t count your blessings
While you’re crying over losses,
Some roads that look broken
Are the roads that make you strongest.
Life deals the cards,
But you decide where they go—
That’s the game of living…
Know when to let it go.
[Verse 2 – Rap]
I learned that a “no” ain’t always rejection,
Sometimes it’s God redirecting your direction.
That door that slammed? Maybe saved your life,
That person who left? Maybe ended the strife.
I used to chase every dream like it owed me,
Held onto fake friends ’cause I hated being lonely.
Kept pouring my heart in a cup with a hole,
Wondering why I was empty with a pocket full of gold.
See, pride makes you stay where respect disappeared,
Fear makes you hold what you should’ve released years.
Ego says, “Prove ‘em wrong, don’t ever back down,”
Wisdom says, “Walk away—you don’t need that crown.”
Sometimes you gotta fold with a smile on your face,
Sometimes walking away is actually winning the race.
And don’t confuse patience with wasting your time,
There’s a difference between loyalty and losing your mind.
[Hook]
Know when to hold on,
Know when to let go,
Know when to stand tall,
Know when to move slow.
Know when to fight for it,
Know when the fight is done,
You can’t win every battle
Just because you brought a gun.
Don’t count your blessings
While you’re crying over losses,
Some roads that look broken
Are the roads that make you strongest.
Life deals the cards,
But you decide where they go—
That’s the game of living…
Know when to let it go.
[Final Hook – Bigger / Harmonized]
Know when to hold on,
Know when to let go,
Know when to stand tall,
Know when to move slow.
Know when to fight for it,
Know when the fight is done,
Not every war is yours,
Not every battle must be won.
Don’t count your blessings
While you’re crying over losses,
Some roads that look broken
Are the roads that make you strongest.
Life deals the cards,
But you decide where they go—
You only get one life…
Know when to let it go.
