I Surrender R. Kelly

[Spoken Intro]
Yeah, I know, you know, what a calling is
I mean, we all have a calling in our life, I believe
You know I'm from the dirt, man
I come up in these streets
Went without eatin', you know what I'm sayin'?
Saw my mom go without eatin', and I got tired of that
I had to go out there in them streets and hustle, you know?
I mean, you know what I'm sayin'?
I mean, it's easy for y'all to say, you know (I surrender)
Surrender your life, you know what I'm sayin'? (I surrender)
Give your life to God and all that
Y'know, that's good and 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'm sayin'?
Kids screamin' "Daddy, Momma, where the food at?" (I surrender)
Man, it makes it kinda hard to believe in (I surrender)
You know, and have faith in something that you can't see
(I surrender to your Lord)
Even though you wanna believe
Y'all just gonna have to just pray for me, you know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause uh...

[Verse 1]
Constantly my mind and my heart is racing (yeah)
All by myself, trying to solve all these problems I'm facing
(oh yeah)
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 (oh, but)
But when depending on myself (I...)
Fail time again (that's why)
And that's why I'm standing here alone (all alone)
With no one else
Lord, I realized that I can't fight these battles by myself
