Forgive Me

(album: Mental Releases - 1995)

Everyday life buckles my feet so I stumble
Once again I dropped the ball so I guess I fumbled
Stalling with the grin so my smile's now incomplete
Trying to transform the hailstorm into a mild sleet
Discreet in my ways keeping on the down low
Wait, let me clear my head, one, two, here we go
Back to the statement before, it's at hand
About the need to sin, it's in supply and demand
Reaching for my neck, strangling my last breath
Hope's in my eye, tie forgiveness to my father's death
Sparks occur, shoots across the sky like a blur
Speaking out repentance, different feelings it might stir
I stay focused, my eye never leaves the prize
Now is the situation minute or enormous in size
Realize the pitfalls of having a dream then it falls
Who ya gonna blame, either yourself or no one at all
Controlled by the dirt, I learned the hard way how it hurts
You reap what you sow, that's for show, now you know
The Grammatical Rev. on display like a safari
And I just wanna take this time to say I'm sorry

Lord forgive me, I know not what I do
The trials and tribs of life make me come unglued
Lord forgive me, what I did was wrong
Falling on my knees, repentance is my song
Lord forgive me, I know not what I do
The trials and tribs of life make me come unglued
Lord forgive me, what I did was wrong
Falling on my knees, repentance is my song

Back in the day when I was young, selling dope at the store
I regret the situation I was living in
Contributing genocide stupid pride
Had my brain insane but yet I remained to be a church going brotha
Undercover smuggler fattest dime juggler
A hustler making money and thangs
Everybody wanna go back but not the kid
From the dirt that I did, I'm running scared from the dead
There's a bid on my head by the devil and friends
To put an end to Teron so I gotta keep strong
Yes I'm blessed, still I regret the fear and sweat
I put my mother through running with the thuggish crew
Pop's wasn't there, but he was there when I needed him
To good looking out and much love for letting me move with you
To get away from it all but then I got in again
My sin continued to eat through
Before I could strike, it took a couple of close calls on life
To be taken for spiritual awakening
The talk of the town is D.C
And they needing the services of a brotha nervous
'Cause the life that I live is still haunting me and taunting me
Tantalizing to see my friends in Benzes and Beamers
Could it be that I made a mistake to shoot it straight?
Naw, 'cause I'm forgiven...

Lord forgive me, I know not what I do
The trials and tribs of life make me come unglued
Lord forgive me, what I did was wrong
Falling on my knees, repentance is my song
Lord forgive me, I know not what I do
The trials and tribs of life make me come unglued
Lord forgive me, what I did was wrong
Falling on my knees, repentance is my song

Lord forgive me, I know not what I do
The trials and tribs of life make me come unglued
Lord forgive me, what I did was wrong
Falling on my knees, repentance is my song
Lord forgive me, I know not what I do
The trials and tribs of life make me come unglued
Lord forgive me, what I did was wrong
Falling on my knees, repentance is my song
