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

Who else is really SICK of those herbal magic commercials?!! So annoying! I just want to listen to the beautiful Lauryn Hill

[AymanLT]

All of nicki minaj's fans lack self respect. They choose support someone who represents such shallow ideals. She represents everything that is wrong with the black community. Everything about her is fake to her hair to her ass.

If Ms hill as her inspiration than she did a fucking terrible job in following in her footsteps because she represents everything lauryn was against.

[jesusitrustin you]

This great Warning will happen soon.

Every single one of My children will be shown their lives, their sins, their wrong doings

and every single insult they were responsible for against their brothers and sisters,

all during a mystical experience.

When the sun spins, the cross appears, and the skies burn red by the collision

of two comets, do not be fearful to see this spectacle and receive my Mercy with great joy!

I hope you know Jesus in jail. Great talent, and you now are the 1%.

Nicki is a rapper? I thought she would be in the genre called shit.

[NilsM95]

Gosh. You are a disgrace to all other Nicki fans. I am a fan of Nicki's, but that doesn't mean that one has to hate every other single rapper. Lauryn Hill was Nicki's inspiration. So you mean that the people who take over Nicki's career later on in life has the right to say those words you just said, but to Nicki? That's just plain stupid. Lauryn is a great rapper, great singer etc. There is no need to hate. You are what makes Nicki fans seem like illiterate, illiberal, stupid people. Grow up.

JAH!!
