Lauryn Hill | Forgive Them Father

Lauryn Hill featuring Shelly Thunder - Forgive Them Father - Track 10 - Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill (Listen out for the skit after the song). Samples Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle". Lyrics:


[Shelly Thunder]
Forgive us all trespassers as we forgive those that trespass against us
Although them again we will never, never, never trust
Hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo

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???

[Lauryn Hill]
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

[Lauryn Hill - rapping]
Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
Feed a man 'til he 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 on 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

[Lauryn Hill]
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

[Shelly Thunder]
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 noh know wey dem do,
Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know,
Dem no know, dem no know wey dem do

TO THE CHICK WHO WAS PREGNANT AND HER FRIEND FOUGHT HER I DONT THINK YOU ARE WEAK AT ALL YOU DID WHAT THEY LORD WOULD HAVE DONE. YOU TURNED THE CHEEK GOD IS THE ONE WHO WILL PAY THEM BACK KEEP PRAYING FOR THEM AND CONTINUE TO LOVE AND KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS PRAYER IS THE BEST REVENGE LIKE THE BIBLE SAID FORGIVE THEM FATHER FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO READ LUKE CHAPTER 23:34

[dainikole12]

I Was Pregnant And My "Best Friend" Knew, But She Still Fought Me. For A Reason I Don't Know. I Am No Longer Pregnant And Of Course Traumatized. Never Thought I'd Be Stabbed In My Back Like That. BUT REAL ENEMIES Aren't Aiming For Your Back, They're Shooting Straight Through Your Heart. BE AWARE!! But Yet I Still Ask God To Forgive Her. Call Me Weak, But That's As Strong As It Gets In My Eyes.

@xAmeliLiax So me calling you a cunt once was terrible, but you telling me to die is acceptable, right? LMFAO, you are a mess in every way, shape, and form. Educate yourself and get out more, moron. ;D

[ManOfBamboo]

@xAmeliLiax The girl that I mentioned is not religious, she just believes in a God. Do you even know what the definition of a theist person is? LOL.

Anyway, like I said, I am sorry that you were molested and raped or whatever, really. But I'm also amused a how ignorant and uneducated that you are. You could try seeing a therapist? :)

[ManOfBamboo]

@xAmeliLiax "Grow some balls and use your own mind instead of following corny bullshit!" - I DO use my own mind you delusional, foolish moron. Use your adult mind instead of the child mind that made you so hateful in the first place.

You want to talk "corny"? 'Corny' is leaving personal information about your past and spilling your guts out in the comments section of a YouTube video XD

[ManOfBamboo]

@xAmeliLiax I love how you talk about religion being homophobic only to be homophobic yourself by calling me gay because I have an image of Stevie Wonder as my YouTube profile picture. Again, you are being contradictory and hypocritical ;)

Oh, and Stevie Wonder is a musical legend, sooo. #NEXT

[ManOfBamboo]

@xAmeliLiax Naw, I ain't "worried" about your spelling problems, I am amused by your spelling problems though ;D

"You should be worried about going to hell for saying the word cunt lmao" - And THAT is why nobody will take you seriously. When you are faced with a decent argument, you resort to immature insults. Obviously, you are still that immature, vulnerable little girl that got fucked over in her childhood. *Peace* :P

[ManOfBamboo]

@xAmeliLiax I said that religion CAN make people better human beings, likewise, it can also make people WORSE human beings, Case in point, everybody is different and everybody has the right to believe in what THEY individually want to believe in.
