Lyrics for Song: Let It Go
Lyrics for Album: Hero [2005]



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 him speak) 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



Sex was how I made it through

Without someone to teach you love, what else is there to do?

See where I'm from they call you gay, 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 now today

Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way

No GED, all I see is failure in my eyes

If you listening and remember I apologize



I was raised falling in the church

Made mistakes and heard the Lord's calling in the church

After service in 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



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



See I, See I

I just wanna let it go, just wanna let it go, just let it go



Jesus please on my knees can't You hear me crying

You said to put it in Your hands and Lord I'm really trying

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

Like that night momma died, it's hard to let it go

You adopted me, cared for me, changed my name

But I cursed at you, lied to you, left you pain

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

To know for hours you were lying there in that bed

If you're listening to this record

If it's day or night

If you momma is still living, treat your momma 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 momma if you're listening I'm letting it go

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

That the pain was the preparation for my destiny

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



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
