I Forgive You

(album: Black Flame - 2011)

I want to welcome you to my I Forgive You mixtape
Lil B love of bullshit on my mind
I'm just tryna stay alive and be positive, uplift
Show love to where I come from

This shit brings tears to my eyes cause it's like
Fuck these niggas man!
That's on life, nigga

My inside's burnt up, I'm tore up from the weed smoke
My vision out of place, I'm a hunter
I got the fiends going, literally, not mentally
I'm on another note, the last time I've seen some real friends
Was on the TV show, and when I was going break
They always had their comments
Leave you in the dirt and hit you where it hurts
But a man like me, I'm a work on the nightshift
Work on the graveyard even if I never sleep
The American dream is to die self-made
The rich stay rich and the poor eat the grains
Now that's where the root and the source of all my pain
I was born into war, I don't want to die in a flame

Listen, just listen, you can heard it in the system
I forgive you for your thoughts
It's hard to see wisdom, when you're a 5, you're not thinking 10
You're not seeing 7, you're not even 6
And I guess you kind of pissed cause most niggas staying under
I forgive your hate, I sit back and wonder
Life's really hard but I move through the thunder
I keep my head up, I step my bread up
The money came in to me cause a brother stopped chasing
Quit being so thirsty, no off back hating
No random car rides with the fiends to go shopping
I was stealing that night, I was dealing that night
But plotting by day, I still live in paranoia
Even still to this day, I can't believe I'm not folded
They not planking in the Bay where I'm from
Cause this is not a game and they got real guns
I forgive you for your ignorance, not paying attention
To the message that I'm giving, to say I'm never sitting
That means that I'm not sick and I been down since the beginning
With a cough and a limp, warm hand and cold lips nigga
This little boss
And I'm thinking about the tat
Cause the squad showed me hate
But I don't got to relax
I gotta relax, actually, I need to relax
But I got the respect, I forgive you at last
Take the money out the car, put my soul in the bag...
