FORGIVE ME    1ST VERSE
FORNICATION, DEPRIVATION, ABUSIVE CONVERSATIONS
TEMPTATIONS, SENSATIONS, CAUSING BODY VIOLATIONS

WOMEN CHASING, FREE BASING, CAN’T STOP THE DRUG TASTING
INDIGNATION, HATES PERSUASION GOT MY MIND RACING

SOMETIMES I LACK PATIENCE FOR OTHER RACES
HALF THE TIME I CAN’T CONTROL THE WORDS THAT I’M EVEN SAYING

I GOTTA KEEP PRAYING AND KEEP MY MIND OFF MY OWN THOUGHTS
AND TRY NOT TO LET SIN KEEP STAINING MY HEART

ADULTERY, FORGERY, BRIBERY, INSIDE OF ME
IS JEALOUSY, MALADIES, WITH SIN I CAN’T COMPETE

I FEEL THE HEAT, CAUSE MY FLESH IS SO WEAK
NEVER DOING WHAT I SPEAK, IT’S LIKE MY BODY’S UP AGAINST ME

MISERABLE MAN I AM, I TRY TO DO RIGHT BUT WRONG IS IN ME
SIN AND DEATH IS NO FRIEND TO ME

I WANNA SEND THESE FEELINGS AWAY, HEY, BUT I DON’T HAVE A STAMP
SO I USE GOD’S BULB TO LIGHT MY LAMP
FORGIVE ME    2ND VERSE
WE ALL SLAVES TO SIN, THE ONLY WAY THAT WE’LL WIN
IS TO PUT OUR FAITH INTO HIS SON THAT HE HAS GIVEN

IT’S AN INHERITANCE THAT EXIST WITHIN MY FLESH
NEVERTHELESS, I HAVE TO FIGHT WITH EACH AND EVERY STEP

I CAN’T SETTLE FOR LESS, I GOTTA STAY FOCUSED
ONCE THE SIN IS THERE, IT’S HARD TO GET RID OF LIKE ROACHES

I’M SO LOWLY, AT TIMES I HATE TO APPROACH YOU
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FOOL MYSELF, BUT NEVER YOU

IT’S HARD TO FOLLOW IN YOUR SON’S FOOT STEPS
IT’S HARD FOR ME TO NOT THINK BAD THINGS WITH EVERY BREATHE

THIS WORLD PUTS YOU TO THE TEST
AND MY GRADES ARE LESS THAN EVERYONE ELSE TRYING TO DO THEIR BEST

SO PLEASE, I BEG YOU TO FORGIVE ME AND SET MY SINS FREE
CAUSE YOU HOLD THE KEY TO ETERNITY

BECAUSE I TRY, LORD KNOWS I TRY TO FIGHT IT
BUT THE FEELING’S JUST TO STRONG

CHORUS
I NEED TO BE STRONG WHEN I DO WRONG
I TRY TO FIGHT, CAN’T GET IT RIGHT

LORD FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS
