Kodjo Somana - Mother & Son Lyrics

Woke up this morning with a lot on my mind
Will I ever get signed
Too blind to realize that I'm so far gone
Another young artist trynna to make it on his own

A dollar and a dream got me sitting on these loans
Till mama came home and said son you are grown
Never back ponder about desperation
You drop when you fall that dedication
Living through the struggle that's only preparation
For the bigger things in life we call celebration

But ma, now I'm stuck in the past
And everything I hold onto never last
And I'm losing my mind
Going through time
I'm trynna aim high
But I'm crossing the line
Holding onto things that will never be mine
Now I'm sitting right here hoping that I'll be fine

Son you're losing it
I know your hurt but you're pushing it
So pay attention that girl that broke your heart
Way back when y'all were freshman she gone
So let her go Its a lesson to learn and moment that we yearn

So slow down
Slow down
Slow down

But I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

But I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma

I said slow down
Slow down
Slow down

But I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma
I'm lost ma

Just a mother and son talking about life
Till he wonders in despair looking for a wife
Stuck up in emotion so he went and grabbed a knife

Try to kill himself till he steps in light
Then he said to God I'm here again begging for your mercy
I lost all my faith and I hope you forgive me

Then god said
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
But I'm lost God

Lord, I'm no longer in your shadow
I'm in your light surrounded my your hallows
On bended knees at your sight, I no longer see in black and white
I've been healed, I can see your colors brighter than the sun
So as I bow my head pray, repent, ask yield
Keep me close and never let me go
Moment comes, moment goes
I wash my sins in your holy water and let it flow
Flow far from your shore
For a while, I've been hurt
Deep hole in my chest, dug by her detest
I can't fight the pain lord, protect my heart with your holy vest
I should've listened to you, but instead, I listened to things in my head
Living in the past where I should've never been
For I have learned my lesson, forgive my sins
I see my heart reflecting a better me, A different... no wait... it's new me
