Grits - Forgive Me lyrics

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 DC
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
