Forgiveness
I forgive you all, yeah those in and out of my life
From th schoolyard bully to my no-good ex-wife
It's a matter of fact you'll lose track of what's going on
In your world when the monkey's on your back!
I forgive you all or your heartless transgressions
The angst and the drama and the month long depressions
Oh you'd think that a shrink for 7 month sessions, would
Help a person out with their emotional mental lessons.
But oh no, here it goes, the truth be told quick or slow.
I forgive you thoug, but don't forget the issues of all the
Things you taught me, how to hate, how to wait
How to shove, how to love, how to live/forgive/forget
And most of all, never regret/ the things that I've seen
All the things that I'v heard, clinging to the racial
Harassment, every single fucking word!
But I'll forgive you for that shit anyway, just to prove that I'm
I'm a better man than I was the day before yesterday
I know it's not fair to compare what has happened from
Then until now, but listen up and shut up and I'll show you how/
I learned and discerned what is true power, from the axe to the rifle
To the withered window sill flower/ left for days in that craze
Oh shit you'dbe amazed/ at what a man can do with the time
That's given, aboutho to forgive and keep on living.
And I'llforgive you all for all these things,
Pity is the priority that my heart and soul sings
I'm done fighting the war that a grudge always wages
You're forgiven now, wiped and torn from life's pages.
