4Give Lyrics

Your enemies are coming

The way you holding that gun

Don't shoot yourself in the foot

How hard to forgive if they took your innocence and they broke it

How hard to forget if the memory don't become a memory

When they're dead wrong, it don't matter what they do

Mama told me you can pray for them

Every wrong is a temporary bruise to your temporary blues

When they cemetery you, will the stench bury too

I forgive you

Forgive you

Forgive you

I forgive you

Forgive you

Forgive you

Don't wait 'til it's too late

Don't wait on me

Don't fade away

You go out there

Live life and don't you let them damage your smile

Your every move

Let God compose

Your every scar holds beauty

Don't you let them shackle your soul

When your world folds the world knows, it's no hiding

The picture perfect gimmick can't hide behind good lighting

Firefighters fighting

The world's crying

Falling, Biden

I abide from by them

I provide the writing

The simple word

No silver lining

And no lying

I see no civilizing

On the horizon

Stop sighing

You don't gotta die on that hill

Meet me in Zion

Would you praise Jah in the moonlight, even if it's defiant

Would you still look to the clouds if it crashed like Bryant

Would you still take the wheel if you don't know how to fly it

Faith

Let me show you little 'bout my faith

Ain't no gun in the house, I don't need no tool on my waist

I'm safe

I don't need no extra funds in the safe he paid for it

And like I'm wrapped up in foil, I'm saved for it

See, for a specific time and season, I'm made for it

I never got a Cole sign, don't need J for it

I used to be trying to get all up in their face for it

Til God told me that all I need is faith for it

A lot of people get in positions, but they paid for it

A lot of people get in positions, but they "hey" for it

A lot of folk cancelled before they even get a chance to start

A lot shot before they even get a chance to talk

Send it up to Pac

Hey, hey, hey

The West was going crazy from the mamas to the babies

I guess I'm not the culture, I ain't feeling none of this lately

I still got my black card, I just… something feel shady

It's not that, mmm… I just can't put my finger on it

Whole generation full of podcasters

Ain't nothing serious

Everybody laughing

Everybody curious

What's about to happen

What's about to happen

What about the black man

What are we doing

The game is pimping us

But I don't see no back hand

What about the back end

If I ain't apologizing

Who's the villain here

If we addressing pedophiles

Let's address these billionaires

We tip toe the truth cuz we don't want to get touched

Let's not tease the naked truth

Let's go 'head undress it all

If we ain't pressing the top dawgs

We might as well not press at all

Cuz they not playing separate ball

If you accept one, you accept them all

That's facts

How hard to forgive if they took your innocence and they broke it

How hard to forget if the memory don't become a memory

When they're dead wrong, it don't matter what they do

Mama told me you can pray for them

Every wrong is a temporary bruise to your temporary blues

When they cemetery you, will the stench bury too

Who's in position to move different

Truth is a victim

The stool pigeon

The tattle of tales

The mouth piece

Who's in position to out speak

How deep does the falsehood reach

What's a household name to a household of prayer

A fair chance is all we ever did ask

Who gets a pass and jukes tragedy

Who gets the stardom without the trauma kin to Cassie

Did he, or didn't he

Who's hired out there to blast at me

Who's in position to move different

The rule benders

The trend enders

The rain in the summer

The disruptor of cool winters

The fool offender

The past bringer upper

The future ruiner

The no chance giver

Sharpe with the tongue, the Katt never had it

Who's tucking tails and who gon let em have it

Who's out to hunt and who's sport fishing

The forbidden is now the norm

I suppose I was born different

Cuz I forgive 'em

Lord forgive us all

Lord forgive us all

For the blasphemy

The casualties

The casted stones

The fantasies

The nerve and the audacities

Lord, forgive us all

For the grooming of the child

For the one's thats not on trial

For the years we let compile

Lord, forgive us all

For the hype we let consume

For the praise we give to few

For forgetting 'bout the tomb

Lord, forgive us all

For the double lives we serve

For the prayers that we reverse

For the curses in our words

Lord, forgive us all

For what we don't understand

For the sins that we commit

Again and again and again

Lord, forgive us all

For the way we use your name

For the way we pull the strings

For the lame leading the lame

Lord, forgive us all

For the blood on our hands

For the hatred in our veins

For the vacancy of our shame

Lord, forgive us all

I hope you still can say

I forgive you

Forgive you

Forgive you

Even though I know you would not do the same

I forgive you

Forgive you

Forgive you

Even though I know you would not do the same

Don't wait on me

Don't fade away

You go out there

Live life and don't you let them damage your smile

Your every move

Let God compose

Your every scar holds beauty

Don't you let them shackle your soul

Just cause you're forgiven doesn't mean you ain't dealt with

If left up to man, we'd all go down to hell quick

People so hell bent on being straight forward with you

Lord, when the hail falls, who's gon' be joining with you

All hail, all cells lose service, watch the calls fail

All that call God ain't called

Watch the wall dry

Watch for the people police

Who throw people in hell

The ones that think they so holy

They don't even inhale

I excel when I reap where I failed

Acapella when I speak something real

I could tell you, but I need something steel

Cuz they'll Rock-A-Fella

If they need something killed

He without sin cast the first

GIMMIE A SHIELD

Stone cold killers we be packin' hearses

Intern nurses get to practice nursing

Every wrong is a temporary bruise to your temporary blues

When they cemetery you, will the stench bury too

Sha la la, I love you like Barry White

Though, la da da

You ain't never been ride or die

We'll Hail Mary before Jesus

We hate black so much, we'll marry white, hah

Seek payback so much, we barely fight, tah

We taint crack so much, it's barely white, hah

Whole country built on crime but won't indict her

BIRDS OF A FEATHER, that's word to Billie Eilish

We say in God we trust

So Lord, forgive us all

For performative humility

Selective morality

For mockery

For mimicry

Lord, forgive us all

For how we holler hallelujah when convenient

Then go in agreement with the demons

For the treason

Lord, forgive us all

For the bandwagon vilification

For the inconsistent hatred

For the standard duplication

Lord, forgive us all

For the conditional compassion

For pretending and for acting like we're bent about what's happening

Lord, forgive us all

For the corporate exploitation

For the thievery, the faking

For the payments that save faces

Lord, forgive us all

For the victimhood mentality

For the over diagnosing

For the constant manipulation

Lord, forgive us all

For the judgmental condemnation

For the false sense of salvation

For assuming that we'd make it

For the division of your mission

For the point that we've been missing

For the love we haven't given

For the doomsday repentance

For the nerve to ask you Lord to now reward us with forgiveness

I hope you still can say

I forgive you

Forgive you

Forgive you

Though we know we won't do the same

Somehow we call on your name

I forgive you

Forgive you

Forgive you

Though we know we won't do the same

Somehow we call on your name

Don't wait on me

Don't fade away

You go out there

Live life and don't you let them damage your smile

Your every move

Let God compose

Your every scar holds beauty

Don't you let them shackle your soul

You've held it so long

You've held it so long

You've held it so long

You've held it so long

You've held it so so long

No more holding on to the burden of your soul

You've held it so long

Forgive 'em

Even if you never know the why

Forgive 'em

Even if they never apologize

Forgive 'em

Daddy wasn't there, he ain't provide

Forgive 'im

Mama never seen it from your side

Forgive 'er

Whoever it was touched you as a child

Forgive 'em

Partner was abusive and they lied

Forgive 'em

Friends you thought were true ones did you foul

Forgive 'em

Don't let no one chew you up inside

Forgive 'em

Cuz every wrong is a temporary bruise

To your temporary blues

When they cemetery you

Will the stench bury too
