Forgive - Alex G

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us Although them again we will never, never, never trust Dem now, know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue Fling, skind, grin while dem plotting fah you True, Ah Who? Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Beware the false motives of others Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you, to you They say all the right things to gain their position Then use your kindness as their ammunition To shoot you down in the name of ambition, they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Why every Indian wanna be the chief? Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef Give me grief, try to tief off my piece Why for you to increase, I must decrease? If I treat you kindly does it meant that I'm weak? You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik And other African czars observing stars with war scars Get yours in this capitalistic system So many caught or got bought you can't list them How you gonna idolize the missing? To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition Even when they comin' gunnin' I stand position L known the mission since conception Let's free the people from deception If you looking for the answers Then you gotta ask the questions And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto Sick of men trying to pull strings like Gepetto Why black people always be the ones to settle March through these streets like Soweto Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas Backstabbers do this Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them Father for they know not what they do It took me a little while to discover Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves A friend once said, and I found to be true That everyday people, they lie to God too So what makes you think that they won't lie to you Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them, forgive them Forgive them Father for they know not what they do Forgive them, forgive them Gwan like dem love while dem rip yuh to shreds Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead Dem a yuh fren who yuh depen pon from way back when But if yuh gi dem yuh back den yuh mus meef yuh end Dem noh know wey dem do Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know Dem no konw, dem no know wey dem do

I forgive you, I forgive me Now when do i start to feel again I forgive you, I forgive me Now when do i start to feel again Cause the lights are on But I'm never home But I'll be back with a brand new attitude Cause I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were busy living the dream Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you, I forgive me Now do I start to feel again If I hate you, what does that do So I breathe in and I count to 10 Cause the lights are on And I'm coming home Yes I am back With a new heart in my hand Cause I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were busy living the dream Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you For every time that I cried Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me That's alright, yeah I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were busy living the dream Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us No shame, no blame Cause the damage is done And I forgive you

Just don't accept it 'Cause I cannot shake the feeling That I'm gonna see you again I was nothing but good to you Made some mistakes, but I still loved you I was nothing but good to you Made some mistakes, but I still loved you I guess I couldn't do for you The things you wanted me to Wanted me to I guess I couldn't do for you The things you wanted me to Wanted me to Wanted me to I was nothing but good to you Made some mistakes, but I still loved you I was nothing but good to you Made some mistakes, but I still loved you I guess I couldn't do for you The things you wanted me to Wanted me to I guess I couldn't do for you The things you wanted me to Wanted me to Wanted me to
