Sail On

Sail On

Verse 1

It seems like yesterday it was the very first time

He put his hands on you and he crossed the line

See he had too much to drink and he broke the trust

And all you could think ma is baby what about us

He apologized the next day and said the liquor got the best of him

And said that he would never do it again

The way he said he loved you it sounded really sincere

But it happen once again in about a half a year

You’d watch what you would say pray at work he didn’t have a bad day

What was really making you stay

In a situation you could one day wind up dead

He beat you so bad at times you couldn’t get out of bed

Living life that’s full of stress but with no arrests

When the neighbors called the police no charges were ever pressed

But something’s got to change something’s got to give

Yo it’s time to move on yo it’s time to live

Especially the role model your son sees in him

Don’t want him to grow up also to abuse women

But it’s a scary step yo I must confuse

Cuz you tried one time before but with no success (no success)

(Chorus)

Sail on (you got to sail on) Honey (when you get the strength to leave him along your singing) Good times never felt so good, Sail on (you got to sail on) Sugar (when you get the strength to leave him along your singing) Good times never felt so good

Verse 2

You just can’t take one more day one more cry

One more fight one more black eye

So you look to the one that’s been there since birth

To find everything you need in this one single verse

In a book collecting dust on your shelf

Over looked so many times didn’t know it had wealth

But you’re all by yourself on this very day

So you get on your knees and you start to pray

Relief in an instant burdens been lifted

The last five years of your life has been gifted back

Matter fact with a brand new start

Feels like you’re born again with a brand new heart

And your worth don’t rely on a man

Except the one for you who took nails in his hands

In Him you believe it’s be a while

Since you could take a deep breath in and just breath and

(Chorus)

Verse 3

This song's for all my women in need of a new beginning

You’re tired of this hellish life it’s time for new living

Something’s got to change but it almost seems strange

You going one day without feeling some pain

Mami let me explain what is a real woman worth

You don’t even know cuz your man treats you like dirt

Wasn’t like that a first he was a real smooth brotha

He was faking for real but now you see his true colors

Is it the fact you’re scared of being alone

Or don’t think finically you can’t stand on your own

Is he worth verbal and physical abuse (never)

You’re crying about those long lonely nights and unprovoked fights

A real man never hurts his queen ma

Sacrifice anything for her cuz she’s his everything

Like Mary J. you’re looking for a love that’s real

Turn to God he the only one that can heal spread your wings and

(Chorus)
