| 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 | |
