[00:01.92]Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us
[00:07.00]Although them again we will never never never trust
[00:12.94]Dem noh know weh dem do dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue
[00:17.02]Fling skin grin while dem plotting fah you
[00:19.16]True Ah Who
[00:21.45]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[00:31.01]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[00:42.03]Beware the false motives of others
[00:46.78]Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
[00:51.90]And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you to you
[00:57.35]They say all the right things to gain their position
[01:06.91]Then use your kindness as their ammunition
[01:11.62]To s***t you down in the name of ambition they do
[01:20.25]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[01:29.89]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[01:39.45]Why every Indian wanna be the chief
[01:41.38]Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef
[01:43.90]Give me grief try to tief off my piece
[01:46.32]Why for you to increase I must decrease
[01:48.56]If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak
[01:51.07]You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets
[01:53.99]I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek
[01:56.25]But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
[01:58.27]And other African czars observing stars with war scars
[02:01.02]Get yours in this capitalistic system
[02:03.26]So many caught or got bought you can't list them
[02:05.54]How you gonna idolize the missing
[02:06.97]To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
[02:09.62]Even when they comin' gunnin'
[02:10.76]I stand position
[02:11.54]L's known the mission since conception
[02:13.56]Let's free the people from deception
[02:15.46]If you looking for the answers
[02:16.95]Then you gotta ask the questions
[02:18.26]And when I let go my voice echoes through the ghetto
[02:20.80]Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
[02:23.27]Why black people always be the ones to settle
[02:25.52]March through these streets like Soweto
[02:29.49]Like Cain and Abel Caesar and Brutus Jesus and Judas
[02:37.36]Backstabbers do this
[02:39.55]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[02:48.34]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[02:59.45]It took me a little while to discover
[03:04.38]Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
[03:09.95]Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves to themselves
[03:18.72]A friend once said and I found to be true
[03:23.91]That everyday people they lie to God too
[03:28.51]So what makes you think that they won't lie to you
[03:37.29]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[03:46.41]Forgive them forgive them
[03:49.42]Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[03:55.33]Forgive them forgive them
