This song is one of the main reasons why I love my Alicia Keys CD to death.

The lyrics always make me feel like she is talking about me in my moment of troubles, and how much I have to hold on just in case everything somehow magically works out for me eventually. I thank God that successful artists like her could have felt this way at some time, it reassures you that if they could make it, after the tough times and the down times, and the moments when you ask yourself incessantly, "why me?", if they could go through all that and come out on top, then maybe, just maybe, so can you.

If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlins ain't for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Continuous mistakes I know I made before
How long will I feel so out of place

If your troubled, you just gotta let it go
If your worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustlings ain't for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let me know


Happy Birthday to Ogo and Jumoke.
