Let It Go Lyrics - Hero - Kirk Franklin

My mama 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 sleeping in my back seat 

Understand the spirit's willing but my flesh is weak 

(let him speak) let me speak, I never had a chance to dream 

Ten years old finding love in dirty magazines 

Ms. December you remember I bought you twice 

Now I'm thirty plus and still paying the price 

Had a sister that I barely knew 

Kind of got separated by the age of two 

Same mama 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 the man's mind 

The same daddy with rape charges now he's doing time 

Crack followed and like daddy prison thirteen years 

Haven't her but she's traded tears for fears

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Shout. Shout 

Let it all out 

These are the things I can do without 

So come on 

I'm 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? 

So where I'm from they call you gay and say you ain't a man 

Show them you ain't 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 G.E.D. all I see is failure in my eyes 

If you listening then remember I apologize 

Photos 

I was raised falling in the church 

Made mistakes heard the Lord's calling in the church 

After service on the parking lot getting high 

Wanted to be accepted so bad I was willing to die 

Even tried to tell the pastor but he couldn't 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 

See I'm. See I'm 

Soul survivor. Soul survivor 

World survivor 

I just wanna let it go 

World survivor, soul survivor 

Just wanna let it go 

Jesus please on my knees can't you hear my crying 

You said to put it in your hands and lord I'm really trying 

You wasn't lying when you said you'd reap what you sow 

Like that night mama died 

Hard to let it go 

You adopted me 

Cared for me 

And changed my name 

But I cursed at you 

Lied to you 

Left your pain 

It's not strange I can still see it in my head 

To know for hours you were laying in that bed 

If you listening to this record, 

If it's day our night 

If my mama still living treat your mama right 

Don't be like me and let that moment slip away 

And be careful cause you can't take back what you say 

To my real mama if you listening I'm letting it go 

To my father I forgive you 'cause you didn't know 

The pain was preparation for my destiny 

And one more thing lord let my son be a better man than me
