forgive you
Singer:battles, mark
i guess it's time to tell it
put it in the verse makes it easier this way
was holding it all in like i wasn't supposed to say
was told you try to get the time and let it go away
but it's not true now they ain't true
put up a wall started out small
but then that pain grew i had to let it all
now hope we got the same view
my past made me who i am so in the way i thank you
promises you broke got the lies that you told
couldn't keep it in yeah had to let it go
since i got the chance i just wanna let you know
the people that would doubt
every night my step dad would slap my mama in the mouth
choke me half the death and try to kick me out the house
i'm just telling you how it was
too blessed to hold the grudge
thank the man above now look back and then shrug
became a man from what i've been through
i don't like to say i hate you
look we can't get through
neither of us was faithful
you blame me and i blame you
feelings make it painful but life it gotta go on
i admire that you're so strong
one thing is for certain the lesson's served its purpose
promises you broke got the lies that you told
couldn't keep it in yeah had to let it go
since i got the chance i just wanna let you know
the people that would doubt
every night my step dad would slap my mama in the mouth
choke me half the death and try to kick me out the house
i'm just telling you how it was
too blessed to hold the grudge
thank the man above now look back and then shrug
became a man from what i've been through
imagine being teen watching your mama get beat
chase down the street a gun pointed at her cheek
i know it's so descriptive it's what i have to witness
who knows how it would've ended
if you had not went to prison
turned the god and got saved
and my mama was so amazed for me
but now the hate went away
i just hope you let me know
cause since you got your chance is your time to let it go
