Gospel Lyrics >> Song Title :: Let It Go
Gospel Lyrics >> Song Artist :: Kirk Franklin
My momma gave me up when I was four years old
She didnt destroy my body but she killed my soul
Now its coldcause Im sleeping in my back seat
I understand the spirits willing but my flesh is weak
Let him speak, let me speak
I never had a chance to dream
Ten years old and finding love in dirty magazines
Ms. December you remember I bought you twice
Now Im thirty plus and still paying the price
Had a sister that I barely knew
Kind of got separated by the age of two
Same momma different daddy so we couldnt fake it
I saw my sisters daddy beat her in the tub naked
Take it serious the demons in a mans mind
The same man on rape charges now hes doing time
Crack followed and like daddy prison thirteen years
Havent seen her, I guess shes traded tears for fears
Chorus
Shout, Shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without so come on
Come on Im talking to you, so come on
Sex was how I made it through
Without someone to teach you love what else is there to do
See where Im from they call you gay
Say you aint a man, show them you aint no punk
Get all the girls you can, a simple plan that still haunts me even now today
Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way
No GED all I see is failure in my eyes, if youre listening and remember I apologize
I was raised falling in the church
Made mistakes and heard the Lords calling in the church
After service in the parking lot getting high
Wanted to be accepted so bad I was willing to die
Even tried to tell the Pastor, but he couldnt see years of low self-esteem and insecurities
Church taught me how to shout and how to speak in tongues
But preacher, teach me how to live now when the tongue is done, help me
Chorus
Bridge
See I, See I, I just wanna let it go, just wanna let it go, just let it go
Jesus please, on my knees cant You hear me crying
You said to put it in Your hands and Lord Im really trying
You wasnt lying when You said You reap what you sow
Like that night momma died, its hard to let it go
You adopted me, cared for me, changed my name
But I cursed at you, lied to you and left you pain
Its not strange I can still see it in my head
To know for hours you were lying there in that bed
If youre listening to this record
If its day or night
If your momma is still living treat your momma right
Dont be like me and let that moment slip away
And be carefulcause you cant take back what you say
To my real momma if youre listening Im letting it go
To my father, I forgive you,cause you didnt know that the pain was the preparation for my destiny
And one more thing Lord let my son be a better man than me
Chorus
Ad lib | | | |
