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.
