River

A1
(I'm a-) Waitin' for a new day / lookin' for a new way / prayin' and a-hopin' / sometimes chokin'

on the rhymes I'm sayin' / for the words I'm payin' / for and then I pray to / God I'm copin'.

A2
Lookin' at the mirror / that really ain't no hero / starin' right back at me / (oh) it really can't be

all that's left from tuesday / all I got on payday. / A game that I just can't play. / Don't know what to say.

B1
I just wanna get it over with. / I just wanna break these chains that bind me. / I just wanna get it over with. / Don't wanna play these games.

C
Well, I'm a-in the river / I'm drownin'. / Never learned how to swim. / (So) I just float where the river takes me.

A3
Oh, God! Just won't cha kill me. / Leave me in my mise /-ry and forget you / ever saw me

I wallow in the mire / reminiscing 'bout the time / our love was everlasting, / bulletproof, not plastic.

A4
I know it was the real thing, / know it's what I'm searching / for and now I'm hopin' / you'd still want me

back to be your brother, / back to be your lover, / back to be your sister, / and yo mother

B1
I just wanna get it over with. / I just wanna break these chains that bind me. / I just wanna get it over with. / Don't wanna play these games.

C
Well, I'm a-in the river / I'm drownin'. / Never learned how to swim. / (So) I just float where the river takes me.

B2
I just wanna lay myself on the line. / I just wanna stop the lies and cheatin'. / I just wanna lay myself on the line. / Don't wanna play no games.

A5 (So) I'm rollin' down the river / floating on (my) lifesaver. / No more wishing I was dying / no more crying.

Rollin' with my Jesus / cuz He's the one who gives us / life, that's everlasting, / joy and ...

A6 Nana nana naa naa...
