Thumbs up if you still listen to this song#2018❤❤

Still in love with this song

Listened to this song while I was in prison doing 10 long year man. It instantly brought me to the thoughts of my mother who passed away when I first started my bid. Thought about all those hard times she suffered, and in turn, I suffered the same. Shit fucked me up on that yard looking into the sunset trapped and in pain.

No Matter How My No Call Friends Try 2 Console😢

Jamming in 2k18

Till i got down on my knees and ask god to take control of my #life

I'm not going to type the whole song, bcuz we all no what he's saying (very clear) but just no my heart is heavy and I pray to TMH that he heals us all if we're going through this.

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

Lyfe Jennings, my favorite artist, ever since I can remember! I can relate my grandparents raised me until I was fifteen; I moved in with my mother as a teen and I met my father when I was twenty-five! I can relate! Amazing man, you put me in my feelings and make me think about things from a different perspective! For, so long my heart has been hurting, but after hearing this song is made me realize, maybe they couldn't love me cause they didn't have time to love themselves! Forgiveness for something you don't understand, that affect you, so much is extremely hard! I cry every time I hear this song! Thank you, Lyfe Jennings!

@Jayla Baker that line has special meaning to me. That's the beauty of music, you may see it one way but someone else can see it another. My mom has kept 2 to 3 jobs for decades. That particular line reminds me of her because now as a man I can appreciate all that she sacrificing for me and my siblings.

That is sad @mack bonnet​
