Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
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, yeah Til I was old enough to hate myself And I felt like a slave down in South Carolina Cursing the vagina that gave life to me I couldn't see what I had the potential to be Til 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 do it on my own And no matter how my friends try to console They can 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 That she was rushing herself She didn't even have the time to spend loving herself Let alone,someone else So I hated her,yea Cause I loved her,yea And I cried,yea Like the Klu 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 Til I got down on my knees and begged God to please Take control of my life today [Chorus]
