[00:00:00] The River (Album Version) - Lyfe Jennings

[00:00:00] Written by：Chester Jennings

[00:00:01] I was born by the river

[00:00:07] That my momma cried when my daddy died

[00:00:12] Maybe that was the reason I didn't get the attention

[00:00:16] That I was needing to touch cuz

[00:00:20] I reminded her of him too much

[00:00:25] Couldn't understand what she felt so I hated her yeah

[00:00:30] Til I was old enough to hate myself

[00:00:32] And I felt like a slave down in south carolina

[00:00:37] Cursing the vagina that gave life to me

[00:00:43] I couldn't see what I had the potential to be

[00:00:50] Til I got down on my knees and begged god

[00:00:56] To please take control of my life today

[00:01:02] Cuz there's no way

[00:01:05] There's no way no way no way

[00:01:09] I can do it on my own

[00:01:13] And no matter how my friends try to console

[00:01:18] They can never never know

[00:01:21] What I go through

[00:01:24] So I turn my heart over completely

[00:01:30] To you yes lord I do

[00:01:37] I was born in a hurry

[00:01:42] Cuz my momma had to be back to work at 8:30

[00:01:47] Maybe that was the reason there was always this feeling

[00:01:52] That she was rushing herself

[00:01:55] She didn't even have the time to spend loving herself

[00:02:00] Let alone someone else

[00:02:04] So I hated her yea

[00:02:06] Cuz I loved her yea

[00:02:08] And I cried yea

[00:02:10] Like the klu klux klan at the million man march

[00:02:14] Partially broke my spirit partially broke my heart

[00:02:19] I couldn't start to be what I had
