Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us
+
Although them again we will never, never, never trust
+
Dem noh know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue,
+
Fling, skin, grin while dem plotting fah you,
+
True, Ah Who???
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Beware the false motives of others
+
Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
+
And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you, to you
+
They say all the right things to gain their position
+
Then use your kindness as their ammunition
+
To shoot you down in the name of ambition, they do
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
+
Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef
+
Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
+
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
+
If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?
+
You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets
+
I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek
+
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
+
And other African czars observing stars with war scars
+
Get yours in this capitalistic system
+
So many caught or got bought you can't list them
+
How you gonna idolize the missing?
+
To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
+
Even when they comin' gunnin'
+
I stand position
+
L's known the mission since conception
+
Let's free the people from deception
+
If you looking for the answers
+
Then you gotta ask the questions
+
And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto
+
Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
+
Why black people always be the ones to settle
+
March through these streets like Soweto
+
Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas,
+
Backstabbers do this
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
It took me a little while to discover
+
Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
+
Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves
+
A friend once said, and I found to be true
+
That everyday people, they lie to God too
+
So what makes you think, that they won't lie to you
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Forgive them, forgive them
+
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
+
Forgive them, forgive them
+
Gwan like dem love while dem rip yuh to shreds,
+
Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead,
+
Dem a yuh fren who yuh depen pon from way back when,
+
But if yuh gi dem yuh back den yuh mus meet yuh end,
+
Dem noh know wey dem do,
+
Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know,
+
Dem no know, dem no know wey dem do
+
