Forgive Them Father

Shaggy


Them say money is the root of all evil 
But a no money 
Some people a kill people little or nothing 
Some say them a gangster but a studio gangster 

Well now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly 
Little youth with the 45 and him say do or die 
Now him muma she cry water run from her eye 
And she remember when him was little bit and oh so shy 

Chorus: 

Forgive them father cause they know not what they have done 
To save them from destruction gave his only begotten son 
Like them no understand say revelation a come so watch the heathen them a run 

Verse 1: 
Too much fuss and fight(BOO) 
And that is not right 
You no can't blow breath in a man but still that you want take life 
Innocent youth die bury a next guy 
And him muma wool her belly and ask God why? 
Well no ask me no question I tell you no lie 
It's about time the world start to realize 
This a revelation and it's a serious time 
Put your a hand inna the air and pray to the most high 

Chorus

Verse 2: 

Youth man a beg and you fi put down your gun 
Me no want fi see another youth tumble down 
This is reality no play dumb dumb 
Some a them a thing 'bout dollars having a large sum 
Money is the root of all evil if so me no want none 
Wicked man them a heathen fi them fire burn 
Whole a them shall perish inna the wicked kingdom 
This is Shaggy one of Jah Jah son 

Chorus 

Verse 3: 

Yow! yow! yow! stop talking yow 
Mislead the youth to shoot them one another down 
Muma what this you're talking pure foolishness 
Can't sit down eat me Sunday ackee and salt fish 
Can't use me tounge and lick out me pyrex dish 
As me sit down and a wish me mouth start get peckish 
Have fi eat me dry bread and drink the water well quick 

Chorus 

Now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly 
Little youth with the 45 and him say do or die 
Now him muma she cry water run from her eye 
And she remember when him was little bit and oh so shy 
Watch it
