Redemption

I met him at the state store, he was tryin' ta holla
I ain't care if he was old enough to be my father
I knew his wife and went to school with his daughter
He was the boss that I knew went harderGave me my first taste bud, I had to take it farther
I mean I had to go harderI started callin' up his crib just to get him
And I ain't even care, asked his wife if she was with him
Came home late and he got into a fight
And he called me that nightHe said he never want to see me on the block
I said, "I don't need you but I need that rock"I couldn't take it so I had to go see him
Stole my momma car and drove around all evening
And when I found him, I thought that he would lace me
I ain't got no money but you know I'll let you taste meHe pulled his gun out and told me I was stupid
I started crying, prayed to God, he wouldn't do itHelp please, Lord, I plead, just save me
(If you're really there)
Hear the sinner's prayer
(This is my redemption song)
Redemption songI met this chick in Philly who said she like to sing
I ain't mean it but I said that it was good she had a dream
My daddy used to beat my momma, saw it everyday
So when I got with her I did the same thingHe always used to say, you gotta keep a bitch tamed
So I never let her sing
And every chance I got I told her if she ever left me
I'll kill her, that's how I made her respect me
Forget me, never, made her believe, it don't get no betterI told her it was crazy out there
She said she don't care but she can't stay here
The last time I hit her, she went into the kitchen
I ain't pay her no mind, ain't even know that she was missingShe came out bleeding with her eyes all black
I looked and saw she had something behind her back
She pulled a gun out and told me I was stupid
Dropped to my knees and prayed to god she wouldn't do itHelp please, Lord, I plead, just save me
(If you're really there)
Hear the sinner's prayer
(This is my redemption song)
Redemption songI really need to know if you are there
If you could just, just hear a sinner's prayer
You could remake me
(Remake me)
Oh, just save me
(Just save me)I promise if you get me through this, I'll change
I need to be set freeHelp please, Lord, I plead, just save me
(If you're really there)
Hear the sinner's prayer
(This is my redemption song)
Redemption songForgive me, Father
(Forgive me, Father)
I know I've done wrong
(I know I've done wrong)
But I have nowhere else to turn
(But I have no where else to turn)So hear me
(So hear me)
And save me
(And save me)Oh, if you're really there
