| Sent you a Christmas card the other day | 
| And I admit I kept it short, I don’t know what to say | 
| I haven’t seen you, haven’t spoke, and I don’t know you | 
| To the point I even question why I wrote you | 
| And I honestly | 
| Maybe I was just too young to understand | 
| But 15 years and you don’t call, you just a grudgeful man | 
| And I don’t really know what dad did | 
| But what the fuck it have to do with your grandkids? | 
| I even tried to talk to my cousins | 
| They didn’t answer either, I’m just talking discussion | 
| I’m not saying you gotta be in my life | 
| But just a little explanation, man you owe me that right? | 
| I still don’t get it and I never will | 
| You getting older, bout to find out how forever feels | 
| Not trying to say it’s okay | 
| But a grudge will be the only thing you’ll take to your grave | 
| It’s hard to forgive, it’s hard to forget | 
| Can’t even remember just who started this shit | 
| The longer it last, the harder it gets | 
| To say that I’m sorry | 
| Yeah it’s hard to admit | 
| It’s hard to forgive, it’s hard to forget | 
| Can’t even remember now who started this shit | 
| The longer it last, the harder it gets | 
| To say that I’m sorry | 
| I watched a man who tried to kill me celebrate in court | 
| His lawyer put his hand out like what are you waiting for | 
| High five it | 
| Had an ex ask me if I knew what cutting was, she showed me | 
| «You better never ever ever leave me», is what she told me | 
| Another friend of mine, looked up to him when we were kids | 
| He started smoking crack and then he broke into my crib | 
| It wasn’t personal, that had nothin' to do with me | 
| That’s the thing that ties it all together, see none of it did | 
| So I forgive you | 
| Because all the pain you try to blame on me was you protecting yourself (from | 
| yourself) | 
| I forgive you | 
| It couldn’t been anybody, in fact you probably looked at me and saw yourself | 
| So I forgive you | 
| Because my worst day ever, is every fuckin day of ya life | 
| So I forgive you | 
| Because I have a feelin' that I had nothing to do with how’d you have lived | 
| your life |
