Redemption

I met him at the state store he was trying to holla

I ain't care he was old enough to be my father

I knew his wife, I went to school with his daughter

He was the boss that I knew went harder

Gave me my first taste but I had to take it farther

I mean I had to go harder

I started calling up his crib just to hit him

And I ain't even care I ask his wife if she was with him

Came home late and he got into a fight,

And he called me that night

He said he never want to see me on the block

I said I don't need you but I need that rock

I couldn't take it so I had to go see him

Stole my mama car and drove around all evening

And when I found him I thought that he would lace me

I ain't got no money but you know I'll let you taste me

He pulled his gun out and told me I was stupid

I started crying prayed to God he wouldn't do it

Oh please, Lord I plead, just save me (if you're really there)

Here's a sinner's prayer

This is my redemption song

I met this chick in Philly who said she like to sing

I ain't mean it but I said that it was good she had a dream

My daddy used to beat my mama

Saw it everyday

So when I got with her, I did the same thang

He always used to say you gotta keep a bitch tamed

So I never let her sing

And every chance I got I told her if she ever left me

I'd kill her that's is how I made her respect me

Forget me, never, made her believe it don't get no better

I told her it was crazy out there

She said she don't care but she can't stay here

The last time I hit her she went into the kitchen

I ain't pay her no mind or even know that she was missing

She came out bleeding with her eyes all blacked

I looked and saw she had something behind her back

She pulled the gun out and told me I was stupid

Dropped to my knees and prayed to God she wouldn't do it

Oh please, Lord I plead, just save me (if you're really there)

Here's a sinner's prayer

This is my redemption song

I really need to know if you are there

If you could just, just heal a sinner's prayer

You could remake me

Oh just save me

I promise if you get me through this I'll change

I need to be set free

Oh please, Lord I plead, just save me (if you're really there)

Here's a sinner's prayer

This is my redemption song

Forgive me Father, I know I've done wrong but I have nowhere else to turn

So hear me.
