R Kelly - I Surrender lyrics

Album: Happy People / U Saved Me <disc 2> (2004)

Yea I know, y´know, what a calling is
I mean we all have a calling in our life, I believe
You know I am from the dirt man
I come up in these streets, went without eatin´, you know what I am sayin´?
Saw my Mom go without eatin´
I got tired of that I had to go out there
In them streets & hustle, you know?
I mean you know what I am sayin´?
I mean it is easy for y´all to say, y´know (I surrender)
Surrender your life, you know what I am sayin´? (I surrender)
Give your life to God & all that
Y´know, that is good & I believe in God (I surrender to you Lord)
But when you got bills at your front door all the time
You know what I am sayin´?
Kids screamin´ "Daddy, Momma, where the food at?" (I surrender)
Man it makes it kinda hard to believe in (I surrender)
Y´know, & have faith in smth that you can not see (I surrender to your Lord)
Even though you want to believe
Y´all just going to have to just pray for me
You know what I am sayin´? ´Cause uh...

Constantly my mind & my heart´s racing (yea)
All by myself trying to solve all these problems I am facing (oh yea)
Looking to man trying to find hope (uh-huh)
But man will never know the depth of my struggles (oh)
I was depending on myself (on myself)
To give myself a hand (wow but)
But when depending on myself (I...)
Fell time again (that is why)
And that is why I am standing here alone (all alone)
With no one else
Lord I realised that I cannot fight these battles by myself

I surrender
I surrender (oh I)
I surrender to you Lord
I surrender
I surrender (oh I)
I surrender to you Lord
I surrender (I surrender)
I surrender (Lord to you)
I surrender to you Lord
Coming out with both hands up
I surrender (uhh)

Listen...
I tried everything I could to make it work (mmm-hmm)
But everything I seemed to try just made it worse (ohh)
And every road that I would go down there were no signs (signs)
Destination lonely with no peace of mind (yea, ohh)
I was depending on myself (on myself)
To give myself a hand (but when)
But when depending on myself (I´d fell time & time again)
Fell time again (that is why)
And that is why I am standing here alone (standing all alone)
With no one else
Lord I realised that I cannot fight these battles by myself
I surrender

I surrender
I surrender (oh I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (said I surrender)
I surrender (ohh I)
I surrender (surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (I done tried everything & now I)
I surrender (surrender yea)
I surrender (to you Lord)
I surrender to you Lord
Coming out with both hands up
I surrender (ohh)

Won´t you guard the place around it
(Theres no where for me to go)
Joy I´ve tried to find (whoo)
(See I have searched high & I have searched low)
Said you walked throughout the building
So come & rescue me from this hell
´Cause I cannot do it by myself (I cannot do it... by myself)

I surrender (hey I surrender)
I surrender (ohh) (I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (I surrender) (I surrender... to you Lord) (yes I do)
I surrender (I surrender) (I surrender) (to you)
I surrender (yea)
I surrender to you Lord (´cause I am sick & tired of going through)
I surrender (I need your help) (need your help)
I surrender (to find my may) (to find my way)
I surrender to you Lord (I am here & willing) (here & willing) (to make a change) (make a change, yea)
I surrender (I surrender all my darkness) (hey) (I surrender)
I surrender (now you give me your light) (yes sir) (I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (I surrender all my wrongs) (yes I do) (and Lord you make it right) (make it right) (I surrender)
I surrender (I surrender my situation) (I surrender) (I surrender)
I surrender (and Lord fix it for me) (fix it for me) (I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (no more hesitation) (hey) (here I´m on my knees) (I surrender)
I surrender (I surrender) (I surrender) (I surrender)
I surrender (I surrender) (I surrender) (I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (I surrender) (I surrender) (whoo, hey) (I surrender)
I surrender (I surrender my self, my house, my kids, my wife) (yea) (I surrender)
I surrender (my dog, my car, my love, my life) (yes sir) (I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord (Lord I surrender my soul) (oh-ho) (I surrender)
I surrender (you´ve got complete control) (haha) (I surrender)
I surrender (of the situation) (I surrender)
I surrender to you Lord...
