Let It Go

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 sleeping 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 finding love in dirty magazines Ms. December you remember I bought you twice Now I'm thirty plus and still paying the price Had a sister that I barely knew Kind of 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 doing time Crack followed and like daddy prison thirteen years Haven't seen her, I guess she's traded tears for fears [Hook] Shout, Shout, let it all out These are the things I can do without so come on Come on I'm talking 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 even now today Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way No GED all I see is failure in my eyes, if you're listening and remember I apologize
