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 | |
