Lyrics
I was born by the river That my momma cried when my daddy died Maybe that was the reason I didn't get the attention That I was needing to touch Cause I reminded her of him too much Couldn't understand what she felt so I hated her, yea 'Till I was old enough to hate myself And I felt like a slave down in south carolina Cursin' the vagina that gave life to me, oh I couldn't see what I had the potential to be 'Till I got down on my knees And begged god to please Take control of my life today
Chorus 'Cause there's no way There's no way, no way, no way I can make it on my own, (hey) And no matter how my friends try to console They could never never know what I go through So I turn my heart over completely To you , yes lord, I do
I was born in a hurry Cause my momma had to be back to work at 8:30 Maybe that was the reason there was always this feeling Like she was rushin' herself She didn't even have the time to spend Loving her self Let alone someone else So I hated her, yea Cause I loved her, yea And I cried, yea! Like the ku klux klan at the million man march Partially broke my spirit Partially broke my heart I couldn't start to be what I had the potential to be Till I got down on my knees And begged god to please Take control of my life today
Chorus Cause there's no way There's no way, no way, no way I can make it on my own And no matter how my friends try to console They could never know what I go through So I turn my heart over completely To you Yes lord, I do
