Redemption Lyrics - Love Me Back - Jazmine Sullivan

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
