Wash My Sins Away

It's so hard to stand up straight when niggas knock you down They told me I wouldn't make it had to fake it just to get around Daddy been a hoe He didn't show me how to hold my own My mother taught me different When she gone I know I'm all alone Uncle always said to me that I was worth it He said if niggas don't respect your heart they don't deserve it I blame myself for all my problems cause I caused my hurting Ten years ago I swear to God I was a different person I put my pain all in my songs they tell me I'm too deep It's hard for me to love somebody cause they quick to leave It's hard for me to trust a soul cause they not for keeps They tried to leave me in a back not knowing I would leap I seen the top I know it's mine and it's my time to grind My mama told me to shine bright and leave these niggas blind I prayed to God while on my knees I swear it had me crying I asked if he could guide me right because I'm really trying Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord Didn't have nobody in my corner I had to accept it Ain't no bad blood between us that shit was a lesson Seen the way that I been moving they didn't expect it I thank God for this gift he gave me a blessing Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord Ain't no bad blood between us that shit was a lesson Seen the way that I been moving they didn't expect it I thank God for this gift he gave me a blessing They expect to see me down they don't want me up They thinking that I'm moving weak but Katy made me tough Skipping school thinking that I knew my way around All the love I had for them I swear is in that lost and found Don't tell me that you understand me you weren't in my place They quit to talk that shit behind me never in my face Rapping been a gift almost like it was my escape These niggas swear they doing something but can't step to my plate I hear they trying to give me lectures on my strategy Like how y'all talking down and then y'all say y'all proud of me And just because we blood that don't make you my family You just a human out here breathing who claim they kin to me I don't want none of y'all praises y'all can go and keep em' Cause y'all get greedy for that money y'all get real tempted I had to ask my fucking self who the best that did it I heard you hoes speaking down but want the life I'm living And how you hoes selling body and not making a cent And why y'all chasing after niggas who act more like a bitch This is one of them situations I just cannot fix This is where I shrug my shoulders and continue to win On my life I ain't gon' let up when I get my shot They thinking that this shit is new lil' bitch I been hot And when I cross the finish line that don't mean I stop That's just a fucking guarantee that I'ma never flop Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord wash my sins away Wash my sins away dear Lord Didn't have nobody in my corner I had to accept it It ain't no bad blood between us, that shit was a lesson Seen the way that I been moving, they didn't expect it I thank God for this gift he gave me a blessing
