Jazmine Sullivan - Redemption lyrics

rate me

I met him at the state store he was tryna holla

I aint care If he was old enough to be my father

I knew his wife and went to school wit his daughter

He was a 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 aint even care I asked his wife if she was wit 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 aint 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 a sinners cry... hey

(This is my redemption song) redemption...song

I met this chick in philly who said she like to sang

I aint mean it but I said its good to have a dream

My daddy used to beat my momma I saw it everyday

So when I got with her I did the same thing

He always used to say you gotta keep a b**** 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 cant stay here

The last time I hit her she went into the kitchen

I aint pay her no mind, aint even kno that she was missing

She came out bleeding wit 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 a sinners cry... hey

(This is my redemption song) Redemption... Song

I really need... to know if you are there

If you could just, just hear a sinners cry

You could remake me (remake me)

Ohhh 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 a sinners cry... hey

(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 oh oh oh oh...

If you're really there
