Redemption Lyrics


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

Biography
Contemporary R&B rising star Jazmine Sullivan spent several years learning the ropes of the recording industry before signing to J Records and making her solo recording debut in 2008 with "Need U Bad."

The Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter began her career at a young age, making her national television debut on Showtime at the Apollo at age 11. Jazmine sang at Stevie Wonder's birthday party at age 1l3 and signed to Jive Records at age 15. Her stint at Jive Records only lasted a couple years, however, and she was dropped by the label before any recordings were released. In the wake of this disappointment, she began working behind the scenes, for instance working with Missy Elliott on productions for Fantasia's debut album, Free Yourself (2004), and writing a couple songs for Christina Milian's third album, So Amazin' (2006), including the hit single "Say I." Sullivan was then offered a solo recording contract with J Records, which released her debut single, "Need U Bad," featuring and co-produced by Missy Elliott, in 2008. Fearless, her full-length album debut, featuring productions by Salaam Remi and Stargate, among others, was issued that September. US Singles were Need U Bad, Bust Your Windows and Lions, Tigers & Bears. Dream Big was the fourth single in the US and first single in the UK.

In 2009 Sullivan hit the studio again to record songs for her sophomore record. Released on November 29th, 2010, Love Me Back was a contemporary R&B album with touches of pop, soul, urban dance and a song with a gospel-like chorus. Production was done by Anthony Bell, Missy Elliott, Toby Gad, Chuck Harmony, Cainon Lamb, Los da Mystro, Ne-Yo, No I.D., Prolyfic and Salaam Remi. The first single Holdin' You Down (Going In Circles) peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. The following and final single 10 Seconds reached a high of 18 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart.

On October 7, 2011 J Records along with Arista and Jive disbanded and will from now all release material under RCA Records.

Jazmine's junior effort is expected some time in 2013. Other details about the record are scarce.
