Chris Athens - Redemption lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, I get it I get it, yeah [Verse 1] Why would I say all these things to have you feelin' a way? Why would I tell you I'm 30 away if I'm not on the way? Why do I settle for women that force me to pick up the pieces? Why do I want an independent woman To feel like she needs me?—I lost my way [Chorus] I'm searchin' for these words to say to you Please give me time Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you Oh, please give me time Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you right now Redemption's on your mind when you think about me, yeah Redemption's on your mind when you think about me, yeah [Verse 2] Run your mouth, I'd rather listen to someone else I gave your nickname to someone else I know you're seein' someone that loves you And I don't want you to see no one else I don't want you here with no one else I don't wanna do this with no one else I used to know you back when you was young Your brother brought me through, you saw me That made me think of you so differently I miss the feeling of you missing me But you say you're over and done with me Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Now redemption's on your mind when you think about me Aw yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption's on your mind when you think about me Aw yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption's on your mind when you (think about me) Aw, please give me time Cause I'm searchin' for these words To say to you right now, yeah [Verse 3] Say to you—but 80 percent of it was the truth, yeah Say to you—a Mercedes coupe that you're still drivin' Was for me and you, girl Really gon' spend the winter with this other n***a? Act like he's really the one to get through it with you Clicked up with Jessica, Kim You know that I'm bound to see you And they both say that you're over and done with me Aw yeah, yeah, yeah Aw yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] They say redemption's on your mind when you think about me, yeah Aww yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption's on your mind when you think about me Aw yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption's on your mind when you Aw please give me time Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you right now [Verse 4] Damn I'm not unrealistic with none of my women I tell them if they ain't with it then let's just forget it Relationships slowin' me down, they slow down the vision Guess I'm not in a position to deal with commitment Certain people need to tell me they're proud of me That mean a lot to me Not havin' closure, it take a lot out of me This year for Christmas I just want apologies Sydney gave up on me when I went missin' Syn had a baby and treated me different Erika sued me and opened a business Wonder if they wish it could've been different Wonder what they'd do put in my position I wonder, when my sh** drop, do they listen? Wonder if they're second guessin' their decisions I hate the number 2, that sh** is unforgiven Tryna satisfy everybody It's like they can't get enough Until enough is enough And then it's too much You tip the scale when I weigh my options West Palm girls are spoiled rotten Tiffany on you, you know you poppin' I'll k** somebody if they give you problems Master bedroom's where we get it poppin' Just ignore all the skeletons in my closet I'm a walkin' come-up, I'm a bank deposit Sell my secrets and get top dollar Sell my secrets for a Range Rover Opportunity and temptation They would sell my secrets for a tropical vacation Sell my secrets back to me if I was payin' Who's gonna save me when I need savin'? Since Take Care, I've been caretakin' But second chances, that ain't how you livin' Redemption on your mind, I'll never be forgiven [Outro] Yeah I know
