Song Meaning
Hulvey's "Let Go Of Me" traces a basketball dream that gets rerouted. The opening hook admits he could have chased the league and a big paycheck, but asks what any of it would mean — then lands on the pivot: God picked the plans, and the wins only came once he released his grip on himself. The verses get specific about that cost. He describes a heart gone cold, trying to numb pain with smoke and drink, and confessing he ignored God's calls because he feared losing his goals, his money, his whole cart. There's a striking image of the past as pass interference, something that trips you up if you keep looking back, and a declaration that faith the size of a penny is enough to move forward. The second verse widens the frame to people on crack pipes and anyone still chasing everything, calling them to pick up a sword on holy ground. The song closes where it began, with a simple plea for God's hands to rest on him. It's a surrender record, but not a soft one — it's a surrender born from exhaustion with self-rule.

Lay Your hands on me
Uh, I had a dream to go to the league
Uh, could run up a bag, but what does it mean?
Uh, He picked out the plans, I hopped on the team
Uh, we ran it up when I let go of me
Ayy, we ran it up when I let go of me
What's the point of the story if I try to tell it?
Get to the end, I'ma really regret it
Walk in the head, I look back and forget it
Stay in the Spirit, I'm tryna walk with a different appearance
Look at the past like a pass interference
Anyway, me and Caleb just dropped out the NBA
Boy, they keep comin' back, talkin' any day
Take a look at yo' eye, it disintegrate
Got the faith, it the size of a penny, ayy
I say this for the ones full of envy as ever
Don't be surprised if they gettin' saved
Hope in these eyes, what the Spirit say?
Boy, this feel like deliverance
He for the folks on a crack pipe tryin' everything, uh
Get ready for war, we on holy ground, pick up your sword
Who you lookin' to? I look to the Lord
Everybody know He raw to the core
Hol' up, uh, I was in the Wick tryna beat a poster
Boy, I never sold a brick, but I got closer?
'Til the Lord, but since times on the bus just roastin'
I was in the cut on the 'Gram just postin'
Uh, I had a dream to go to the league
Uh, could run up a bag, but what does it mean?
Uh, He picked out the plans, I hopped on the team
Uh, we ran it up when I let go
Ayy, 2000, ooh
I had a dream to go to the moon (Woah)
Wit' the rock in my hand, I'm doin' my dance, I'm back in the fold
Draft day, pull up, shoot it up 'til they call my name
Fam sittin' courtside the arena full, each and every ball game
Woah (Then switch), God had another plan for me
So many times You called, I wasn't answering
'Cause I ain't wanna switch my goals up
I ain't wanna switch my focus
'Cause I thought You would take it all away from me
You know, the cart's closed, the money
The heart was cold, feelin' nothin'
Tried to feel the soul, but numbin', smoke, drink
I had tried everything for the pain to go away, uh
That's why I let go of me 'cause You deserve, You deserve the praise, mm
Uh, I had a dream to go to the league
Uh, could run up a bag, but what does it mean?
Uh, He picked out the plans, I hopped on the team
Uh, we ran it up when I let go of me
Yeah, we ran it up when I let go of me, man
See we ran it up when I let go of me
Mm, we ran it up when I let go of me
We ran it up when I let go of me
Lay Your hands on me
