River

No matter what you go through in life
No matter how hard it gets
You can never give up
You got to learn to dig deep
It's gone be some times when nobody believes in you
When you feel like the underdog
But you gotta push

Come take me down to the river
Wash away my sins with liquor
Mama told me Jesus got me
But some sins can't be forgiven
I been down from the start
I got payback in my heart
Every time I walk away
I end up right back where I start

Lonely days, cold nights
A broken dog ain't got no fight
They all bark, they got no bite
I feel like they got me up under the thumb
It's impressing the words that I'm gone write

I'm giving it, yeah
Determine if there is a change in me, yeah
You want it your actions are taking me there
Kept fighting with it have me facing me fears
Praying you bitches are tasting my tears
Blood on my shirt how a man doesn't care
Maybe I'm scared, the feeling you're backed in the corner
With no other option has got me embracing the fear

A lot on my mind
I'm probably fine
There's moments I feel like I'm talking to God
I gotta unwind just give me a second to think

To deal with emotions and anger
That's bottled inside I been denied
My mother is sick and I'm out of my mind
Pretend that I'm calm but I'm quietly not
It switch at the drop of a dime

Come take me down to the river
Wash away my sins with liquor
Mama told me Jesus got me
But some sins can't be forgiven
I been down from the start
I got payback in my heart
Every time I walk away
I end up right back where I start

Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river

Heart filled with guilt but I prayed repentance
For the time I let the 45 vent with vengeance
Bad decisions good intentions
My family suffered when I did my sentence
Raised different descendant of the sinners
They out my dawgs in the kennel
Mama cried and sang songs in the rain
Of this pain to a instrumental

Granny told me that only God saves
Chip on my shoulder like Rod Wave
But I felt abandoned I crash landed
Blinded by the shine of the dark ways
Felt heart ache cause they all fake
When I speak love they just talk hate
No rats round here we play quiet mouse
They wait to throw gas when my fires out

Just cause I'm tired don't mean I'm retired
If I said I ain't with it I'd be a liar
I don't need a choir just some holy water
Set my soul on fire hallelujah
What's it to you if I'm doing good
Walked through the flames so my kids cool
Speaking wise words to a simple fool
Baptized myself in this Clase Azul

Come take me down to the river
Wash away my sins with liquor
Mama told me Jesus got me
But some sins can't be forgiven
I been down from the start
I got payback in my heart
Every time I walk away
I end up right back where I start

Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river

Take me down to the river
Wash away my sins with liquor
Mama told me Jesus got me
But some sins can't be forgiven
I been down from the start
I got payback in my heart
Every time I walk away
I end up right back where I start

Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
Oh, take me down to the river
To the river
To the river
