The River Lyrics - Lyfe

I was born by the river 

That my momma cried when my daddy died 

Maybe that was the reason 

I didn't get the attention 

that I was needing to touch 

cause i reminded her of him too much. 

Couldn't understand what she felt so I hated her, yea 

'Till I was old enough to hate myself. 

And I felt like a slave down in South Carolina 

Cursin' the vagina that gave life to me, oh 

I couldn't see what I had the potential to be 

'Till i got down on my knees 

And begged God to please 

Take control of my life today 

 

Chorus 

'Cause there's no way, 

there's no way, no way, no way 

I can make it on my own, (hey) 

And no matter how my friends try to console 

They could never never know what I go through. 

So I turn my heart over completely 

To You , yes Lord, I do. 

 

I was born in a hurry 

Cause my momma had to be back to work at 8:30 

Maybe that was the reason there was always this feeling 

Like she was rushin' herself, 

She didn't even have the time to spend 

Loving her self 

Let alone someone else, 

So I hated her, yea 

Cause I loved her, yea 

And I cried, yea! 

Like the Ku Klux Klan at the Million Man March 

Partially broke my spirit 

Partially broke my heart 

I couldn't start to be what I had the potential to be 

Till i got down on my knees 

And begged God to please 

Take control of my life today 

 

Chorus 

Cause there's no way, 

There's no way, no way, no way 

I can make it on my own 

and no matter how my friends try to console 

They could never know what I go through 

So I turn my heart over Completely 

To You, 

Yes Lord, I Do.
