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
