Lord, please forgive for what I do
For I know not what I've done
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
Mama had a baby and its head popped off
(Head popped off)
(Head popped off)
(Head popped off)
(Head popped off)
(Head popped off)
My mama 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 sing this song
(Sing this song)
(Sing this song)
(Sing this song)
(Sing this song)
It went a little something like
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Debbie had a Satan spawn, Satan spawn
Mama, why do they keep saying this? I just don't understand, understand
And by the way, where's my dad?
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
Predominately, predominately, everything's always predominately
Predominately-white, predominately-black, well, what about me?
Where does that leave me?
Well, I guess that I'm between predominately 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 kind of 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 tush mull bish
"Woe is me, there goes poor Marshall again
Whining about his millions
And his mansion and his sorrow he's always drowning 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
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, 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 Hallie 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 on 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 can 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
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
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
Oh
Last one, baby
Let's go
Last one, baby
Let's go
Detroit
