Lyfe Jennings - The River Lyrics
[verse 1]I Was Born By The RiverThat My Momma Cried When My Daddy DiedMaybe That Was The Reason I Didn't Get The AttentionThat I Was Needing To Touch CuzI Reminded Her Of Him Too MuchCouldn't Understand What She Felt So I Hated Her, YeahTil I Was Old Enough To Hate MyselfAnd I Felt Like A Slave Down In South CarolinaCursing The Vagina That Gave Life To MeI Couldn't See What I Had The Potential To BeTil I Got Down On My Knees And Begged GodTo Please Take Control Of My Life Today[chorus]Cuz There's No WayThere's No Way,no Way,no WayI Can Do It On My OwnAnd No Matter How My Friends Try To ConsoleThey Can Never Never KnowWhat I Go ThroughSo I Turn My Heart Over CompletelyTo You,yes Lord,i Do...[verse 2]I Was Born In A HurryCuz My Momma Had To Be Back To Work At 8:30Maybe That Was The Reason There Was Always This FeelingThat She Was Rushing HerselfShe Didn't Even Have The Time To Spend Loving HerselfLet Alone,someone ElseSo I Hated Her,yeaCuz I Loved Her,yeaAnd I Cried,yeaLike The Klu Klux Klan At The Million Man MarchPartially Broke My Spirit,partially Broke My HeartI Couldn't Start To Be What I Had The Potential To BeTil I Got Down On My Knees And Begged God To PleaseTake Control Of My Life Today[chorus]
