[verse 1]  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 cuz  I reminded her of him too much   Couldn't understand what she felt so i hated her, yeah  Til i was old enough to hate myself  And i felt like a slave down in South Carolina  Cursing the vagina that gave life to me  I couldn't see what i had the potential to be   Til i got down on my knees and begged God  To please take control of my life today    [chorus]  Cuz there's no way  There's no way,no way,no way  I can do it on my own  And no matter how my friends try to console  They can never never know  What i go through  So i turn my heart over completely  To you,yes Lord,i do...    [verse 2]  I was born in a hurry  Cuz my momma had to be back to work at 8:30  Maybe that was the reason there was always this feeling  That she was rushing herself  She didn't even have the time to spend loving herself  Let alone,someone else  So i hated her,yea  Cuz i loved her,yea  And i cried,yea  Like the Klu 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   Til i got down on my knees and begged God to please  Take control of my life today    [chorus]
