Wretch 32 feat Etta Bond - Forgiveness

Feel like I’m slackin’ with my children
Focusing on rap *tryna* pack and shake the building
In a race with my own race, just to raise the roof
And I ain’t talking ‘bout the ceiling
Here’s something to believe in:
No sleep 'cause you’re livin’ what you’re dreamin’
And it’s the lesson in itself
How* my son can call me dad when I miss the parents evenings
Amazed that I’m still breathin’;
Every other shot i feel my insides bleedin’.
Grandad, turnin’ in his grave,
Cause I promised that I’ll be there for my gran when she’s grievin’
I used to be a man of my word;
Now, time seems to have got the best of my sentence
In that case I’ll have to adjourn,
Cause the thought of an excuse is just as bad as the intention

Hook:
Excuse me, my friend
I think I might’ve hit my head
Excuse me, my friend
I don’t remember who I am
Cause I’m holdin’ on tryna be somebody
But it won’t be long before I need somebody
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey) [x4]

Went to church to pray for a top ten
Then I went number 5, I ain’t been back again
But when my jewellery friend phones
Like they got new rings I’ll most likely attend
Hoppin' out a new benz, start the car from outside
When is this gonna end?
Cah mum’s still livin’ in the endz ..spend jibbs on the wrist
before I put her with celebs
I’m still livin’ like a wretch all i hear is fuck fuck
all the girls got turrets
And no I don’t wanna bet even the odd birds
Wanna take me to the nest
I swear I only came for the music, but the more I touch notes,
It’s like the more I get stupid
It’s a gift than a curse, but before I blame myself,
Imma say it's what the tunes did

Hook:
Excuse me, my friend
I think I might’ve hit my head
Excuse me, my friend
I don’t remember who I am
Cause I’m holdin’ on tryna be somebody
But it won’t be long before I need somebody
Forgiveness, asking for forgiveness (hey, hey, hey, hey) [x4]
