[01:16.10]*** was how I made it through
[01:18.29]Without someone to teach you love, what else is there to do?

[01:24.23]Show them you ain't no punk
[01:26.11]Get all the girls you can
[01:27.48]A simple plan that still haunts me now today
[01:30.23]Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way
[01:33.47]No GED, all I see is failure in my eyes
[01:36.79]If you listening and remember I apologize
[01:39.29]
[01:40.91]I was raised falling in the church
[01:42.54]
[01:43.17]Made mistakes and heard the Lord's calling in the church
[01:45.97]After service in the parking lot getting high
[01:49.11]Wanted to be accepted so bad I was willing to die
[01:52.42]Even tried to tell the Pastor, but he couldn't see
[01:55.41]Years of low self-esteem and insecurities
[01:58.54]Church taught me how to shout and how to speak in tongues
[02:01.60]But preacher, teach me how to live now when the tongue is done, help me
[02:05.85]Shout, Shout, Let it all out

[02:58.71]You said to put it in Your hands and Lord I'm really trying
[03:01.73]You wasn't lying when You said You reap what you sow
[03:04.65]Like that night momma died, it's hard to let it go
[03:07.79]You adopted me, cared for me, changed my name
[03:11.15]But I cursed at you, lied to you, left you pain
[03:14.29]It's not strange I can still see it in my head
[03:17.15]To know for hours you were lying there in that bed
[03:20.43]If you're listening to this record
[03:22.12]If it's day or night
[03:23.49]If you momma is still living, treat your momma right
[03:26.49]Don't be like me and let that moment slip away
[03:29.62]And be careful 'cause you can't take back what you say
[03:32.87]To my real momma if you're listening I'm letting it go
[03:35.99]To my father, I forgive you, 'cause you didn't know
[03:38.99]That the pain was the preparation for my destiny
[03:41.79]And one more thing Lord let my son be a better man than me

My momma gave me up when I was four years old
She didn't destroy my body, but she killed my soul
Now it's cold 'cause I'm sleepin in my back seat
I understand the spirit's willing, but my flesh is weak
Let me speak
I never had a chance to dream
ten years old and findin love in dirty magazines
Ms. December you remember, I bought ya twice
Now I'm thirty plus and still payin the price
Had a sister that I barely knew
Kinda got separated by the age of two
Same momma different daddy so we couldn't fake it
I saw my sister's daddy beat her in the tub naked
Take it serious the demons in a man's mind
The same man on rape charges now he's doin' time
Crack followed him and like daddy prison thirteen years
Haven't seen her I guess she's traded tears for fears
Shout, Shout,
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
So come on,
I'm talkin' to you
So Come on
