Forgive

[Chorus]
See, in my city, man, these sirens playing symphony
So much violence, no pity, and there's no sympathy
Play hide and go seek off in the neighborhood graveyard
You can die in the street, man, as a wannabe Braveheart
In these churches where religion is a real disease
So much distraction, [?] division, man, and disbelief
Preachers preaching condemnation and fire
They beatin' on the sheep, man, when they broken entire
Pastor said that if you love 'em, you would care for them
Say a prayer for them, let 'em know that God's there for them
This is how the world will know that you're His
And by the way that you will love and forgive

[Verse 1]
They call him Mr. Know-It-All
Could've sworn that he knew it all
Man, he thought that he known it all, nah
Till the judge said "Life"; three strikes
Now he rollin' to the pen like a bowlin' ball, uh
Now he wish he never broke the law
Too late, too late, can't take it back
I know you hate the fact, you gotta face the fact
And now you're sittin' in a cage with a plastic mat, yeah
I don't care about your skin color
I'ma love you like my twin brother, how you been, my brother?
Straight up, give you dap and hug
'Cause I'ma love you like we've been brothers to the end, brother
Man, I holler at my brother Jamie
Said, "B have you talked to Johnny?" "Nah, he ain't called me"
I've been walkin' with the phone on me
Every day like it grown on me
Hey, he probably feelin' like his heart is heavy
And the world keep doin' him wrong
Let us pray for momma, straight up, and for the rest of the fam
I know you're waitin', man,[?]
In the seed for the precious season
Everybody that's incarcerated, when the cops invaded
Bum rushed, cane, knives and cusps
Got 'em high and intoxicated, money confiscated
Everything that you put into the street
Man, they ain't got nothin' to show for it, time to get over with
Now that it's over with
Ayy, 'cause you're feelin' like you sold your soul for it, man
There's only one that can save your life
There's only one that'll pay the price, you better trust in Christ
I'm tryna tell you He'll meet you there
Put peace in there, He won't leave you there, yeah

[Chorus]
See, in my city, man, these sirens playing symphony
So much violence, no pity, and there's no sympathy
Play hide and go seek off in the neighborhood graveyard
You can die in the street, man, as a wannabe Braveheart
In these churches where religion is a real disease
So much distraction, [?] division, man, and disbelief
Preachers preaching condemnation and fire
They beatin' on the sheep, man, when they broken entire
Pastor said that if you love 'em, you would care for them
Say a prayer for them, let 'em know that God's there for them
This is how the world will know that you're His
And by the way that you will love and forgive

[Verse 2]
I'm strong and I feel weak
I'm weak and I feel strong
I'm poor, yet I feel rich
And yes, I'm blessed with the measure that's beyond
You see, I'm empty, yet I'm full
I feel thirsty, yet I'm not
Lord, you are the bread of life
The living water, you're the ev'ry breath I got
You see, I'm purified by Faith
'Cause my righteousness is You
It's the beauty of God's face
Straight up, You're amazing, grace is true
See, as heavy as it seems
Dear Lord, man, You make my burdens light
Lord, You are the King of Kings
I said I love You, Jesus Christ
They used to kick me when I was down (Down)
They used to laugh when I would cry (Cry)
They used to wish I wasn't around ('Round)
Someday, they even wished that I would die
And there were times I almost drowned
'Cause I was filled with a tidal wave of pride
I remember when they knocked me to the ground
I got up like, "Man, I'm still alive"
And I still can't understand why ('Stand why)
And I'm feelin' like I still don't (Still don't)
See, I'm thirty-five years old
And I know it was He who saved my soul
They say home's where the heart is
Hey Holmes, you don't even know what heart is
Rejected by His own, neglected by His own
Had to give His own life so we could all live
I can't believe I complain [?]
I wanna think about the pain You endured for me
If I was You, Lord, I pro'bly would've changed my mind
When I seen all my immaturities
And all my insecurities
And all of my impurities (But I know that You're here with me)
I said I love you, Jesus Christ
That's right, I need You, Jesus Christ ([?])

[Chorus]
See, in my city, man, these sirens playing symphony
So much violence, no pity, and there's no sympathy
Play hide and go seek off in the neighborhood graveyard
You can die in the street, man, as a wannabe Braveheart
In these churches where religion is a real disease
So much distraction, [?] division, man, and disbelief
Preachers preaching condemnation and fire

Say a prayer for them, let 'em know that God's there for them
