Lyrics

[Intro]

I would pawn you my watch

I would pawn you my chain

I would pawn you this golden diamond ring

'Cause I need it so bad

I would give you everything

Just so I can start my life over again

[Verse 1]

Sometimes, you gotta let it go

Just to make it possible

Sometimes, you gotta do it

Be willing to lose it

Freedom has no price, you know

Thinking, "How we gonna make it now?"

How we gonna feed the babies now?

But we gon' make it through it

God gon' see to it

Just get up and do it now

[Chorus]

I would pawn you my watch

I would pawn you my chain

(I would pawn you this golden diamond ring) I would pawn you, you, you, I'd pawn you this golden diamond ring

('Cause I need it so bad) So bad

I would give you everything

(Just so I could start my life over again) Just so I can start my life

[Verse 2]

See, I learned the hard way

Now I'm doing it my way

'Cause life is too short to fall in New York

Can't get up and get away

So I gotta let it all go

Start back from zero

'Cause I've given up

I don't give a fuck 'cause love is my hero

[Chorus]

I would pawn you my watch

I would pawn you my chain

(I would pawn you this golden diamond ring) I would pawn you, pawn you this golden diamond ring

'Cause I need it so bad

I would give you everything

(Just so I could start my life over again) Just so I can start my life

I can start my life (Just so I could start my life over again)

[Outro]

Just so I could start my life over again
