Let It Go - Kirk Franklin
My mama gave me up when I was four years old She didn't destroy my body but she killed my soul Now it's cold 'cause I'm sleeping in my back seat Understand the spirits with me but my flesh is week Let me speak, I never had a chance to dream Ten years old finding love in dirty magazines Mrs. December you remember I bought you twice Now I'm thirty plus and still paying the price Had a sister that I barely knew Kind of got separated by the age of two Same mama different daddy so we couldn't figure I saw my sister's daddy beated at the temple naked Taking serious the demons in the mans mind The same daddy with rape charges now he's doing time Crack followed my daddy in for thirteen years Haven't seen him cause he's ? [Chorus] Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without So come on I talking to you So Come on Sex was how I made it throught I so wondered teaching love so how did it do So where I'm from they call you gay and say you ain't a man Show them you ain't no punk Get all the girls you can Stop playing man that was just back in the day Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way Re-D-G all I see is failure in my eyes If you listening then remeber I apalagize I was raised all up in the church Made mistakes heard the lord calling in the church After service on the parking loy getting high Wanted to be excepted so bad I was willing to die Even tried to tell the pastor but he couldn't see Years of low suckers demons and ? Church taught me how to shout and speak in tounges But please teach me how to speakwhen the tounge is done [Chorus] See I'm See I'm Soul surviver Soul surviver World surviver I just wanna let it go World surviver soul surviver Just wanna let it go Jesus please on my knees hat you hear my cry You said to put it in your hands and lord I'm really trying You wasn't lying when you said you'd do what you so Like that night mama died Hard to let it go You adopted me Cared for me And changed my name But I cursed at you Lied to you Let your pain It's not strange I can still see it in my head To know If how I was laying in that bed If you listening to us day and night If my mama is living you tell her right Don't be like me and let that woman slip away And be careful cause you can't take back what you say To my real mama if you listening I'm letting it go To my father I forgive you 'cause you didn't know And the pain it was preperation for my destiny And one more thing lord that my son will be a better man than me [(Chorus) 2x]
