Lyrics Forgive Us - Coin Banks, The WAAPA Gospel Choir

Forgive Us

Sometimes you gotta let it slide
You gotta testify
Show 'em love, don’t hold a grudge
Get em high and forgive us
The beat is my confessional booth;
I keep it one hundred
Everything true, and I’m the Lennon of boombap
The youth are so impressionable, you ma-fuckers
Why we never talk bout the elephant in the room, man
Apologies to my mama and my big brother
For the number of times I put 'em under
Stress and I guess I’m a mess but God bless
I still love ya, sorry for the cops in the driveway
Yes, and the weed in the roof, that was me in my youth, ma
I was as free as the fruit that grew on the trees that bloomed in the backyard
Oh Lord, forgive him, from fraud to when I shoplifted, right
Got caught but never convicted in court, why?
Yo, it’s 'cause I’m white
They say it takes a real man to admit their mistakes
Why carry that big weight, Dikembe?
Things change, they crash down in waves
What more what more can I say, forgive me
But you can’t change the past, what you want me to do?
Sorry for the wait I know it’s long overdue
Apologies from the bottom of my heart
If I ever did you wrong, then this song is for you
Sometimes you gotta let it slide
You gotta testify
Show 'em love, don’t hold a grudge
Get 'em high and forgive us
What’s up, what’s next, um?
Every girl, every ex I disrespected
Every woman that I slept with and hit the exit
Pretended to be friends with but never texted
Apologies, you got me on my knees
Sorry, what more do you want from me, mon ami?
Can’t live in the past, swim with sharks, lost at sea
Spent more time on a seat in my office than on my dreams
Nobody wants be the first one to forgive
You’d rather tell your friend to go and jump off a cliff
In the end, we forget why we even upset
But even when we hate em, we still love 'em to bits
Even when you right sometimes and they wrong
Never said what you wanted to say now they gone
Can’t apologize when they die, no séance
In church on every Sunday, never know what you pray for
The bottom line;
I messed up a lot of times
Never got it right, if I ever wronged ya I apologize
You can roll your eyes all you want;
it’s my bad
Wish I could go back in time to that time man
Can’t change the past, what you want me to do
Sorry for the wait, I know it’s long overdue
I forgive you, from the bottom of my heart
If you ever did me wrong, then this song is for you
Sometimes you gotta let it slide
You gotta testify
Show 'em love, don’t hold a grudge
Get 'em high and forgive us
