Forgive Me for I'm Just Human


It takes forgiveness to be the ally of a shit starter you know the type reckless nigga raised without a father the type a nigga who blames success and sorrow on his mama the type of nigga with the problems who don't know how to solve them That's me I'm that guy in full detail then I wonder why they pick on me cause my clothes ain't retail and why am I a fat guy who likes to smile in the camera looking at himself like I'm vain or something always they remind me that I am the ugly duckling But that's what I mean by they forgive me they never cut me off they always putting up with me and when they seem to pull me down they lift me up cause at the end of they story that wasn't a duck My family know we got a squad of swans we keep pushing forward cause the ducks want to be us so often they remind me what exactly I'm working for so I just thank my friends and family cause the opened up the doors. They are my strength when I feel weak they make sure that I'm humble and indeed if they ever catch me slipping they are for sure to let me know that duck stuffs just for show we'll all be swans just peep our growth
