Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
It had been three days since my last confession
Three days?
How many sins could you have committed in three days?
Come back when you have more time please?
♪
It's all in us, we were born sinners
We was not made to be perfect
Yet, we strive to be winners
Little kids starve for dinner
And they freeze in the winter
When their happiness closes as before they can enter
Too much violent television
Without parental supervision
You see the possibilities risen
Too young to make the wrong decision
It's a fucked up way of living
Think it's okay, when it isn't
Take a look at what you're doing
Then pay more attention to your kids, man
What the fuck you care?
My paycheck's just a smidgen of a dividend
I'm constantly committing sins
I'm on the verge of giving in
I made an appointment with the devil
But he's too booked up to get me in
I pray that I'll go to Heaven
But it's not guaranteed that God will let me in
Forgive us, Father, for not knowing what we do
And at times, it's hard to distinguish
What is fake and what is true
And I come to You with so many questions
Dirty sins and clean confessions
By all means, I need Your blessing
Money, sex, and clothes is all we know
How many lost their lives?
How many lost their souls?
Hearts turned to stone
Warm blood becomes cold
Some cats took a wrong turn at the crossroads
Forgive us, Lord, for not knowing what we doing
We only human, flesh and blood
We only human
Forgive us, Lord, for not knowing what we doing
We only human (Father forgive us, yo, 'cause it's all we know)
Yo, in the beginning, we were born with sin
Into a world that's grim
Tempted by money and women
Living like fallen angels who lost their halos
Kicked out of heaven without remaining faithful
So now we hateful
With Heaven in the sky and Hell beneath my feet
It's no wonder why Heaven seems so much harder to reach
Devils walk the streets just seekin' to seek the weak
Then they creep back into the cracks in the concrete
We carry heat to defeat the evil that surrounds us
City streets at night are very seldom soundless
Centuries ago they use to crown us kings and queens
But now we fallen victim to drugs
So now we fiend
It's all about the cash, it's all about the ass
No time to pray, we livin' our lives too fast
We're breaking all of Your commandments
The only time we speak Your name
Is right before we say the word "damn it"
We used to make the sign of the cross
But now we toss signs in the air after we let off shots
We mourn the loss of loved ones asking You, "Why?"
But still live by the saying "an eye for an eye"
We're too weak to turn the other cheek
We've lost our faith
Tell us, do we still have a chance or is it too late?
We've abused everything that was once valued and true
Including You
Forgive us, Lord, we know not what we do
Money, sex, and clothes is all we know
How many lost their lives?
How many lost their souls?
Hearts turned to stone
Warm blood becomes cold

Forgive us, Lord, for not knowing what we doing
We only human, flesh and blood
We only human
Forgive us, Lord, for not knowing what we doing
We only human (Father forgive us, yo, 'cause it's all we know)
No matter what the problem, time won't cease
Changes need to be made to get my mind at peace
I've been a selfish dad, the world don't revolve around me
I've got to concentrate on what she needs
They way I act now will leave a lasting impression
No turning back now, I've got to learn from these lessons
Show her support and offer her suggestions
Be there to guide her and try to answer her questions
Forgive us for our sins
Father, please, sometimes I don't know what I'm doing
But I'm only human
Materialism, wrong decisions
Acts of hatred making numerous incisions
In my soul, I need to fill these holes
While every day in this world seems to get more and more cold
So we stay freezing, hearts stay bleeding
It's never guaranteed that tomorrow you'll still be breathing
So in the evening, I pray You'll forgive me for my sins
And give me the strength not to make the same mistakes again
Money, sex, and clothes is all we know
How many lost their lives?
How many lost their souls?
