Evil Deeds

[Intro]

Lord, please forgive me for what I do

For I know not what I've done

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

Momma had a baby and its head popped off

Head popped off, head popped off, head popped off, head popped off, head popped off

But Momma don't want me, the next thing I know, I'm gettin' dropped off

Gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off

Ring-ring-ring on the doorbell of the next door neighbors, on their front porch

Their front porch, their front porch, their front porch, their front porch

But they didn't want me neither, so they left me on someone else's lawn

Else's lawn, else's lawn, else's lawn

'Til somebody finally took me in, my great aunt and uncle, Edna and Charles

Edna and Charles, Edna and Charles, Edna and Charles, Edna and Charles, they were the ones who were left in charge

My elementary, they'd gang up on me and sang this song

Sang this song, sang this song, sang this song, sang this song

It went a little something like:

"Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb

Debbie had a Satan spawn, Satan spawn"

Momma why do they keep sayin' this? I just don't understand, understand

And, by the way, where's my dad?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Predominantly, predominantly, everything's always predominantly

Predominantly white, predominantly black; well, what about me?

Where does that leave me? Well, I guess that I'm between predominantly both of 'em

I think if I hear that fuckin' word again, I'ma scream

While I'm projectile vomitin'; what do I look like, a comedian to you?

Do you think that I'm kiddin'? What do I look like, some kinda 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, it's tuch mull bish

"Woe is me, there goes poor Marshall, again whinin' about his millions

And his mansion, and his sorrow he's always drownin' in

And the dad that he never had, and how his childhood was so bad

And how his mom was a dope addict, and his ex-wife, 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

Shit, if you only knew the half of it...

Haha

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

Dear Santa Claus, why are you not comin' this year again?

What did I do that was so bad to deserve this?

Everything could have been so perfect

But life ain't a fairytale, I'm about to be hoisted up in the air

Forty feet below me there's people everywhere

I don't even know, but who feel like they know me 'cause I'm in this ferris wheel

And all I wanna do is go to the mall and take Hailie on the carousel

Without this crowd everywhere I go, but life is like a merry-go-round

Here we go now, do-si-do now, curtains up, the show must go now

Ring-around-the-rosie, the show's over, you can all go home now

But the curtain just don't close for me, this ain't how fame was supposed to be

Where's the switch I could 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

'Til I pass 50 back the baton, the camera's on, my soul is gone

[Chorus]

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"

(Evil deeds, evil deeds, evil deeds)

[Outro]

*Gunshot*

*Crowd cheering*

Oh!

Last one, baby, let's go (Last one, baby, let's go)

Detroit!
