Lyrics Kirk Franklin

Kirk Franklin

The Process

Let it Go

My mama gave me up when I was four years old

She didn't destroy my body but she killed my soul

Now it cold cause Im slipping in my back seat

I understand the spirits willing but my flesh is weak (let me speak)

Never had a chance to dream 10 years old and finding love in dirty magazines 

Ms December remember I bought you twice

Now I'm 30 plus and I'm still paying the price

Had a sister that I barely knew

Kind of got separated by the age of two

Same mama different daddy

...

Saw my sisters daddy beat her naked

Taking serious the Demonds in a mans mind

The same man with rape charges now he's doing time 

Crack followed and like daddy prison 13 years

Haven't seen her cause she's traded tears for fears

Shout shout let it all out 

these are the things I can do without

So come on (come on) 

Now I'm talking to you so come on

Sex was how I made i through 

I wasn't the one to teach with love but said this one ought to do

See where I'm from the call you gay say you ain't a man

Show em you aint no punk get all the girls you can

This simple plan even hunts me even now today 

Back to 17 and got a baby on the way 

Well dear God all I see is failure in my eyes 

If your listening and remember I apologize 

I was raise all in a church 

Made mistakes and heard the Lords  cold ...

after service on the parking lot getting high 

wanting to be accepted so bad i was willing to die

Even thrived to tell the pastor but he couldn't see

Years of low self-esteem and Insecurity 

Church taught me how to stop and speak in tongues

Preacher teach me how to live when the tongue is done 

CHORUS + (repeat soul survivor, soul survivor until next verse)

Jesus please I'm on my knees can't you hear my crying

You said to put it in your hands and lord I'm really trying 

You wasn't lying when you said you reap what you sow 

Like that night mama died It's hard to let it go

You adopted me cared for me changed my name

But I cursed at you lied you and left you pain 

It's now strange I can still see it in my head

To know how it was lying dead in that bed 

If your listening to this record day or night

If you mama is still living treat your mama right 

Don't be like me and let that moment slip away 

And be careful because you can't take back what you say 

To my real mama if your listening I'm letting it go

To my father I forgive you cause you didn't know 

That the pain was preparation for my destiny 

And one more thing though let my son be a better man than me 

CHORUS
