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
