The River (Album Version) - Lyfe Jennings[00:00:00]
Written by:Chester Jennings[00:00:00]
I was born by the river[00:00:01]
That my momma cried when my daddy died[00:00:07]
Maybe that was the reason I didn't get the attention[00:00:12]
That I was needing to touch cuz[00:00:16]
I reminded her of him too much[00:00:20]
Couldn't understand what she felt so I hated her yeah[00:00:25]
Til I was old enough to hate myself[00:00:30]
And I felt like a slave down in south carolina[00:00:32]
Cursing the vagina that gave life to me[00:00:37]
I couldn't see what I had the potential to be[00:00:43]
Til I got down on my knees and begged god[00:00:50]
To please take control of my life today[00:00:56]
Cuz there's no way[00:01:02]
There's no way no way no way[00:01:05]
I can do it on my own[00:01:09]
And no matter how my friends try to console[00:01:13]
They can never never know[00:01:18]
What I go through[00:01:21]
So I turn my heart over completely[00:01:24]
To you yes lord I do[00:01:30]
I was born in a hurry[00:01:37]
Cuz my momma had to be back to work at 8:30[00:01:42]
Maybe that was the reason there was always this feeling[00:01:47]
That she was rushing herself[00:01:52]
She didn't even have the time to spend loving herself[00:01:55]
Let alone someone else[00:02:00]
So I hated her yea[00:02:04]
Cuz I loved her yea[00:02:06]
And I cried yea[00:02:08]
Like the klu klux klan at the million man march[00:02:10]
Partially broke my spirit partially broke my heart[00:02:14]
I couldn't start to be what I had[00:02:19]
