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 harder

Gave me my first taste bud, I had to take it farther

I mean I had to go harder

I 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 night

He 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 me

He pulled his gun out and told me I was stupid

I started crying, prayed to God, he wouldn't do it

Help please, Lord, I plead, just save me

(If you're really there)

Hear the sinner's prayer

(This is my redemption song)

Redemption song

I 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 thing

He 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 better

I 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 missing

She 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 it

Help please, Lord, I plead, just save me

(If you're really there)

Hear the sinner's prayer

(This is my redemption song)

Redemption song

I 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 free

Help please, Lord, I plead, just save me

(If you're really there)

Hear the sinner's prayer

(This is my redemption song)

Redemption song

Forgive 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
