You gotta let 'em go

from Tyler The Creator – Radicals Lyrics on Rap Genius

This line, which repeats for a few minutes until the end of the song, can be taken two ways. First, it extends the previous lines, about old people “letting go” of their grasp on young people

It also possibly is said in the voice of those old people telling the young people that they have to mature, grow up, and “let go” of their childish dreams

Dr. TC’s speech confirms this reading. As we will see, Dr. TC is Tyler’s own conscience, so this represents Tyler’s reasonable side telling him that he needs to grow up. Much of his music is about resisting adulthood
