Il testo della Redemption

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
