Janelle Monáe
Lettin’ Go!
[Verse 1]
Ooh, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause with no 9 to 5, it's a brand new day
My rent's due but I'ma party anyway
I feel so alive
Stress just faded away
It's time to live my own life

[Chorus]
So I'ma let it go
Gonna leave my worries behind
Gotta take control
I just came to have a good time
I'ma let it go
No time for stress on my mind
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause with no 9 to 5 it's a brand new day
Got bills due, but I'ma party anyway
I feel so alive
Stress just faded away
It's time I live my own life

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

[Breakdown]
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!
(L-E-T-T-I-N G-O!)
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'ma make you dance
If you wanna groove, I'ma make you move

[Outro]
Congratulations to you
Just had to let it go
You finally let it go
I'm glad you let it go [x2]

Just 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 wanna do
Come on, somebody's gotta hear me
