Lord please forgive me for what I do
For I know not what I've done
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
Momma had a baby and it's head popped off
My momma didn't want me, next thing I know I'm getting dropped off
Ring ring ring went the next door neighbors door and I'm on they front porch
But they didn't want me neither, so they left me on someone else's lawn
Until somebody finally took me in, my Great Aunt and Uncle Edmond Charles
They were the ones who were left in charge
My elementary, they gang up on me and sang this song
It went a little something like this...Marry had a little lamb
Debbie had a Satan spawn
Momma, why do they keep saying this? I just don't understand
And by the way, where's my dad?
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
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'm a scream
Wild projectile, vomiting, what do I look like, a comedian to you?
Do you think that 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 mansion and
His sorrows 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
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
If you only knew the half of it
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
Evil deeds, while I plant these evil seeds
Please release me from these 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 this ferris wheel
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, dosie-do now, curtains up, the show must go now
Now ring-around-the rosie, the shows over, you can all go home now
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 have what it takes to carry on
Till I pass 50 back the baton, the camera's on, my song is gone
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
Oh! Yeah, last one, baby Let's go DETROIT!
