[intro *talking*]
lord please forgive me for what i do� for i know not what i�ve done�
[chorus]
father please forgive me for i know not what i do.
i just never had the chance to ever meet you.
therefore i did not know that i would grow to be
my mother�s evil seed and do these evil deeds.
[verse 1]
momma had a baby and it�s head popped off. (*echo*)
my momma didn�t want me, next thing i know i�m getting dropped off. (*echo*)
ring ring ring went the next door neighbors door and i�m on they front porch. (*echo*)
but they didn�t want me neither, so they left me on someone else�s lawn. (*echo*)
until somebody finally took me in, my great aunt and uncle edmond charles. (*echo*)
they were the ones who were left in charge.
in elementary the came to me and sang this song. (*echo*)
it went a little something like this. �marry had a little lamb. (*echo*)
debbie had a satan spawn. (*echo*)�
momma, why do they keep saying this? i just don�t understand.
and by the way, where�s my dad?
[chorus]
father please forgive me for i know not what i do.
i just never had the chance to ever meet you.

my mother�s evil seed and do these evil deeds.
[verse 2]
predominantly. predominantly. everything�s always predominantly.
predominantly white. predominantly black.
but what about me? where does that leave me?
i guess i�m in between predominantly both of �em.
i think if i hear that fucking word again i�mma scream.
wild projectile, vomiting. what do i look like, a comedian to you?
do you think i�m kidding? do i look like some kind of idi-
wait a minute, shit, don�t answer that. why am i so misunderstood?
why do i go through so much bullshit, it�s such bullshit, touch this bitch.
woe is me. there goes poor marshall again,
whining about his millions and his fortune and
his sorrow he�s always drowning in
and the dad that he never had and how his childhood was so bad
and how mom was a dope addict and his ex how they go at it.
man, i�d hate to have it as bad as that mr. mathers claims he had it.
man, i can�t imagine it. that little rich poor white bastard needs to
take some of that cash out of the bank and take a bath in it.
man, if i only had half of it�
you only knew the half of it�
[chorus]
father please forgive me for i know not what i do.
i just never had the chance to ever meet you.
therefore i did not know that i would grow to be
my mother�s evil seed and do these evil deeds.
[verse 3]
evil deeds, while i plant these evil seeds.
please release me from these evil demons
i never had any of this shit planned, mom, please believe.
i don�t wanna be satan�s spawn.
never got the chance to say i�m sorry.
now look at all the pain i caused.
santa clause, why you not comin this year again?
what did i do that was so bad to deserve this?
everything coulda been so perfect, like life in a fairy tail
i�m bout to be hoist up in the air.
40 feet below me, there�s people everywhere.
i don�t even know what it feel like, cuz they know me. i�m in despair.
all i wanna do is go to the mall and take hailey on that carousel.
with out this crowd everywhere i go. but life is like a merry-go-round.
now here we go. now dosie-do. now curtains up, the shot must go.
now ring-around-the rosie. the shows over. you can all go home.
but the curtain just don�t close for me. this ain�t how fame is supposed to be.
where�s the switch i can just turn off and on? this ain�t what i chose to be.
so please, god, give me the strength to give me what it takes to carry on.
till i pass 50 back the baton, the camera�s on. my song is gone.
[chorus]
father please forgive me for i know not what i do.
i just never had the chance to ever meet you.
therefore i did not know that i would grow to be
my mother�s evil seed and do these evil deeds.
i said father please forgive me for i know not what i do.
i just never had the chance to ever meet you.
therefore i did not know that i would grow to be
my mother�s evil seed and do these evil deeds. (*echo*)
