## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Chorus: James Arthur]

You could get high or you could get low

You could stay young or you could grow old

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

You could go hard or you could go home

You could live life or you could just fold

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]

Look, I started with a dollar and a dream, right

So I can show these people how to dream, right

I could show 'em how to aim for the stars

And take it to the arenas from the street lights

Damn, oh this is what the top feels like? (Whoa)

I still remember Ramen noodle meal nights

I still remember checkin' my account

And having 26 dollars when I signed my record deal nights

And I remember being cold

In my apartment, used the heater from the kitchen stove

Highs and Lows, that's how it goes

So I gotta roll somethin' up

Just to cope with the pressures of growin' up, man

[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly]

What a week

We made it to the bar 'cause we need to heal up

You gotta play for keeps

'Cause Aces tend to stay with dealers

You got to believe it

But I'm a sinner too so I ain't preachin'

Just keep on dreamin'

'Cause all the bad days come for good reasons

[Chorus: James Arthur]

You could get high or you could get low

You could stay young or you could grow old

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

You could go hard or you could go home

You could live life or you could just fold

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]

Yeah, and if I had a dollar

For everytime they told me what I wouldn't be

I would be a rich man with a crib on a big hill (for real)

But I gotta work to get paid

Earn my own way

Work the third shift, burn the whole spliff

Since birth I've been... (Hold up, let me get it)

Look, failure was not an option, I gotta be at the top

Like I'm sorry, but I don't really feel sorry for y'all

I'm sorry I got a new number that you can't call

I'm sorry to everyone who still wants me to fall

Hold up, you know what, I ain't sorry at all

[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly]

So I, hope that it was worth it when you searching

And you find what glitters ain't gold

And I, knew I wasn't perfect but I know that I made it all on my own

[Chorus: James Arthur]

You could get high or you could get low

You could stay young or you could grow old

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

You could go hard or you could go home

You could live life or you could just fold

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

[Bridge: James Arthur]

Paid my dues, so I'll see you later

Life is much more than paper

So I let it go, I just hit the road, I just let it go

Yeah, paid my dues so I see you later

Life is much more than paper

So let it go, I just hit the road, I just let it go

[Chorus: James Arthur]

You could get high or you could get low

You could stay young or you could grow old

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke

You could go hard or you could go home

You could live life or you could just fold

Let it go (Oooh)

'Cause I'ma I'ma go for broke
