lyfe jennings - the river lyrics

[verse 1]
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 cuz
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 v-g-n- 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]
cuz 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…

[verse 2]
i was born in a hurry
cuz 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
cuz 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]
