Mother

Friends wanna kill me

But I give them all my loving anyway

If God won't forgive me

I'm not the only one to make amends

Mother, it's not in my hands

Try to understand it's only 'cause I can

Fools believe they can erase

All that they've done wrong

But I don't wanna be their son

Mother

Mother

She's trying to judge me

But I can see the sins that stains your smile

Friends say I got a few reasons

But I'm crawling out of the city

I'm tired of bowing to preachers all the time

Mother, it's not in my hands

Try to understand it's only 'cause I can

Fools believe they can erase

All that they've done wrong

But I don't wanna be their son

Mother

Friends say I got a few reasons

I'm crawling out of the city

I'm tired of bowing to preachers

Can't fight, so be a believer

Mother, it's not in my hands

Try to understand it's only 'cause I can

Fools believe they can erase

All that they've done wrong

But I don't wanna be their son
