Jazmine Sullivan - Redemption lyrics

I met him at the state store
He was tryin' ta holla
I ain't care if he was old
Enough to be my father
I knew his wife and went
To school with his daughter
He was the boss that I knew went harder

Gave me my first taste bud
I had to take it farther
I mean I had to go harder

I started callin' up his crib just to get him
And I ain't even care
Asked his wife if she was with him
Came home late and he got into a fight
And he called me that night
He said he never want to see me on the block
I said
"I don't need you but I need that rock"

I couldn't take it so I had to go see him
Stole my momma car and
Drove around all evening
And when I found him
I thought that he would lace me
I ain't got no money but you
Know I'll let you taste me

He pulled his gun out and
Told me I was stupid
I started crying, prayed to God
He wouldn't do it

Help please, Lord, I plead, just save me
If you're really there
Hear the sinner's prayer
This is my redemption song redemption song

I met this chick in Philly who
Said she like to sing
I ain't mean it but I said that
It was good she had a dream
My daddy used to beat my momma
Saw it everyday
So when I got with her I did the same thing

He always used to say
You gotta keep a bitch tamed
So I never let her sing
And every chance I got I told
Her if she ever left me i'll kill her
That's how I made her respect me
Forget me, never, made her believe
It don't get no better

I told her it was crazy out there
She said she don't care but
She can't stay here the last time I hit her
She went into the kitchen
I ain't pay her no mind
Ain't even know that she was missing

She came out bleeding with her eyes all black
I looked and saw she had
Something behind her back
She pulled a gun out and told me I was stupid
Dropped to my knees and prayed to
God she wouldn't do it

Help please, Lord, I plead, just save me
If you're really there
Hear the sinner's prayer
This is my redemption song redemption song

I really need to know if you are there
If you could just
Just hear a sinner's prayer
You could remake me remake me
Oh, just save me just save me

I promise if you get me through this
I'll change i need to be set free
Help please, Lord, I plead, just save me
If you're really there
Hear the sinner's prayer
This is my redemption song redemption song

Forgive me, Father forgive me, Father
I know I've done wrong
I know I've done wrong
But, I have nowhere else to turn
But, I have no where else to turn

So hear me so hear me
And save me and save me

Oh, if you're really there
