|
Let it GoMy mama gave me up when |
|
I was four years old |
|
She didn't destroy my body but she killed my soul |
|
Now it cold cause |
|
Im slipping in my back seat |
|
I understand the spirits willing but my flesh is weak (let me speak) |
|
Never had a chance to dream 10 years old and finding love in dirty magazines |
|
Ms December remember |
|
I bought you twice |
|
Now I'm 30 plus and |
|
I'm still paying the price |
|
Had a sister that |
|
I barely knew |
|
Kind of got separated by the age of two |
|
Same mama different daddy....... |
|
Saw my sisters daddy beat her naked |
|
Taking serious the |
|
Demonds in a mans mind |
|
The same man with rape charges now he's doing time |
|
Crack followed and like daddy prison 13 years |
|
Haven't seen her cause she's traded tears for fears |
|
Shout shout let it all out these are the things |
|
I can do without |
|
So come on (come on) |
|
Now I'm talking to you so come on |
|
Sex was how |
|
I made i through |
|
I wasn't the one to teach with love but said this one ought to do |
|
See where |
|
I'm from the call you gay say you ain't a man |
|
Show em you aint no punk get all the girls you can |
|
This simple plan even hunts me even now today |
|
Back to 17 and got a baby on the way |
|
Well dear |
|
God all I see is failure in my eyes |
|
If your listening and remember |
|
I apologize |
|
I was raise all in a church |
|
Made mistakes and heard the |
|
Lords cold .....after service on the parking lot getting high wanting to be accepted so bad i was willing to die |
|
Even thrived to tell the pastor but he couldn't see |
|
Years of low self-esteem and |
|
Insecurity |
|
Church taught me how to stop and speak in tongues |
|
Preacher teach me how to live when the tongue is done |
|
CHORUS + ( repeat soul survivor, soul survivor until next verse) |
|
Jesus please |
|
I'm on my knees can't you hear my crying |
|
You said to put it in your hands and lord |
|
I'm really trying |
|
You wasn't lying when you said you reap what you sow |
|
Like that night mama died |
|
It's hard to let it go |
|
You adopted me cared for me changed my name |
|
But I cursed at you lied you and left you pain |
|
It's now strange |
|
I can still see it in my head |
|
To know how it was lying dead in that bed |
|
If your listening to this record day or night |
|
If you mama is still living treat your mama right |
|
Don't be like me and let that moment slip away |
|
And be careful because you can't take back what you say |
|
To my real mama if your listening |
|
I'm letting it go |
|
To my father |
|
I forgive you cause you didn't know |
|
That the pain was preparation for my destiny |
|
And one more thing though let my son be a better man than me |
|
CHORUS(while Kirk Franklin speaks in the background ) |
