Forgive Me - Grits

Everyday life buckles my feet so I stumble

Once again I dropped the ball so I guess I fumbled

Stallin' with the grin so my smile’s now incomplete

Tryin' to transform the hailstorm into a mild sleet

Discreet in my ways keepin' 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

Reachin' for my neck, stranglin' 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 livin' 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 runnin' with the thuggish crew

Pop’s wasn’t there, but he was there when I needed him

To good lookin' out and much love for lettin' 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 needin' the services of a brotha nervous

'Cause the life that I live is still hauntin' me and tauntin' 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
