Forgive Us - Coin Banks, The WAAPA Gospel Choir

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
