Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us I'll do them again, we will never, never, never trust Them nuh know what dem do Dig out a yi while I'm sticking like glue Flick skin grin while I'm plotting for you 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 They 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 Be the man till he's full and he still won't be Give me three try to teeth off my piece Why for you to increase I must decrease If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak You hear me speak and think I'ma take it to the streets I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek But I try to keep it civilized like men in the league And other Africans are observing stars with war scars Get y'alls those capitalistic systems So many corny got what you can't list of How you gon' idolize the missing To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition Even when they come in gunning I stay in position I don't own 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 Geppetto While 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 They do Forgive them Father For they know They do It took me a little while To discover Wolves and sheep go To pretend to be lovers Men who lack conscience Will even lie to themselves To themselves A friend once said And I've learned 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 Father For they know Not what they do Forgive them Won't let them love you while they rip you to shreds Champ up on your wants and left you for dead Them are your friends who you depend upon From way back when but if you give them your back Then you must meet your end They don't know what they'll do They don't know what they'll do They don't know what they'll do They don't know what they'll do They don't know what they'll do Forgive them Father Forgive them Father For they know They do What do you think? It's just happening like things just going on And then like 24-7 you think about the girl and stuff like that And then you like if you do something wrong it's like oh You want to know what they think So what she feels Hold What she feels is important to you Right Why? Because I want her to still love me But see I know she still likes me cause you know A little eye contact Cause I don't blow her no more Oh you talking about somebody No No No No No No
