[Intro]
Oh-oh, hmm
[Verse 1]
I know that I can't live forever
And I know forever is not forever
I'm sorry, but I can't take whatever
And I tell my brother say "If it's not all, it's never"
[Pre-Chorus]
God gave me plenty ability
He gave me plenty ability
I'm not perfect and I don't wanna be
I just wan carry my family
Omo, plenty responsibilities
And plenty evil activities
Oh, abi', abi', abinibi
No disrespect for my military
[Chorus]
Oh please, forgive me
If I fail you, my city
Call the Doc when I'm bleeding
Every night I'm not sleeping
Oh, this how I'm feeling
If I hurt you, forgive me
Make you help me see reason
That is not what you thinking, thinking, uhn
[Bridge: Tyler Perry]
But I hadn't forgiven my father
So one day, we were on the phone before the show sold out
Before everything changed, we were on the phone
And I got a chance to just say everything that was on my mind
And the things that came out of my mouth blew my mind
But at the end of it, what I heard was, "I forgive you"
I said, "I forgive you" to him
[Verse 2]
Now I'm stuck in my world, mmm
Flying private jet that I cannot affford, mmm
Before we heal, forgiveness is a must, mmm
And before we love, we know we gats to trust
We gats to trust, mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
God gave me plenty ability
He gave me plenty ability (Ability)
I'm not perfect and I don't wanna be
I just wan carry my family (My family)
Omo, plenty responsibilities
And plenty evil activities
Oh abi', abi', abinibi
No disrespect for my military
[Chorus]
Oh please, forgive me
If I fail you, my city (If I fail you)
Call the Doc when I'm bleeding (Call the Doc)
Everynight I'm not sleeping
Oh, this how I'm feeling (This how I'm feeling)
If I hurt you, forgive me
Make you help me see reason
That is not what you thinking, thinking, uhn
[Outro: Tyler Perry]
Oh please, forgive me, uhn
Here I was with this script about adult survivors of child abuse
And the characters in the show that I had written had forgiven their abusers
But I hadn't forgiven my father
The things that came out of my mouth blew my mind
But at the end of it, what I heard was, "I forgive you"
I said, "I forgive you" to him (Uhn)
