Forgive Me

[Hook] [How many times have I hurt you? How many times have you hurt me? And how many times I've been on my knees Begging begging please... Forgive Me] (Intro Joe Budden) (Anybody who listens to Joe Budden I never got off on image, actually My image is not giving a fuck about image My image is a regular, real live nigga Who will always give it to you just the way it is I'm never gonna fabricate, I'm never gonna lie And I'm never gonna get outta character Because the industry made me do so Sooner or later you gotta take a step back And really just look At the situation, and analyze And really think about it And you gotta say "Is the risk worth the reward?" Let's go) [Verse 1] Yo I'm only human, ain't to be worshiped (Nah) I'm only human, I ain't perfect (Nah) I might say some things and reword it You could blame it on my roots, deep Jerz shit Bet some things were never instilled I might make threats I won't never fulfill (Why?) Hoping you're smart enough to use some will And do as I say out of fear that I will They say time will reveal, but I'm jammed up But I'm staring at the clock and the hands stuck Ever so tender, it seems the things y'all never forget I never remember Listen, it's your fault you assumed I grew But if I'm all about me, then wheres there room for you? Rather not rewind but fast forward Forgiveness, all I can do is ask for it Forgive me [Hook] [How many times have I hurt You? (have I hurt you?) And how many times I've been on my knees? Begging begging please...] (Joe Budden) (Uhh! I'm only human like y'all and shit I ain't a robot, I ain't superhero I'm entitled to shit like y'all niggas Here we go, check me out, Talk to 'em, look) [Verse 2] Might say some things that's outlandish But when I do, I'm thinking without standards I apologize, take it as a letter In spite of my actions just know I was raised better (much better) I'm aware my opinions hated So why the fuck am I so opinionated? My bad Method Man, out of respect I'mma scrap them 5 pages I wrote toward Deck Cuz that ain't have anything to do with you Till I made it have everything to do with you Shutting up is unusual So I'm back to letting my pen state What I do to dudes (I mean, come on) Outside of music, outside of rapping Cuz none of that should interfere with life happening And you can look me dead in the eyes If you don't know shit just Know I took your advice, holla at me(Going Going Going Gone) [Hook] [How many times have I hurt you? (have I hurt you?) And how many times I've been on my knees Begging begging please...] (Joe Budden) (At least I listen though I'm open minded enough to A nigga tell me something I'mma take heed to it Only if its good shit though I be my own filter It's that On Top Music Think more niggas should be like that Follow my lead, I left a trail for niggas, follow it) [Verse 3] Yo, y'all ain't looking at the man that you would see Ain't looking at the man that you should see Ain't looking at the man that I could be Treat me like I'm new to the game, still a rookie Like a newborn straight out the pussy (Or!) Or is everybody straight out and just pussies (faggots) In a state of confusion, what I intended is never the conclusion (talk to em!) I'm losing, normally the one they accusing Maybe that explains my seclusion But when you grown to see that the stakes high You at least know to never make the same mistake twice (look!) They say the real is gone, I represent this shit What you see is what you get, no representative From now on get a redefined me If ya see another mishap don't mind me Forgive Me [Hook] [Forgive Me How many times (have I hurt you?) Forgive Me How many times have you? Forgive Me How many times I've been on my knees Begging begging please...] (Joe Budden) (I know I hurt a lot of niggas Words are piercing Sometimes them shits hurt like bullets I wanna make amends Not to everybody though Some of y'all niggas I mean to offend Fuck y'all!)
