Alex Delzer - Forgive & Forget Lyrics

I'm great on stage but I'm bad on camera
That's why my TikToks are very average
That's why my tracks there aren't making damage
That's why this whole thing is hard to manage

But I know I got art, know I got something that comes from the heart
Know I got light when it's scary and dark
Know I got something that sets me apart
I'm working on my fifth album

But I really believe this is only the start
I'm not seeing the rain but I really believe in me building this arc
Really believe that I'm making a mark
People talking with no consequence

People posting with no common sense
People don't want hope, they'd rather just be mad and sad
And hate where it is
I wish I rapped more, I wish I lapped more

I wish I never dazed off and always texted them back more
Now where's my passport
Cause I'm taking this trip with you
Taking the hits for you, taking this thing as far as it goes

And then we will chat in the living room
Chops to a Dilla groove, shouts to family and friends
None of them rap
But they get when I get it though

Color it indigo, royalty in the flow
I'm reaching the pinnacle and I'm hoping it's my floor
Hoping it's my door
Into their hearts and minds and ears

Then maybe then, then, then, then, then, then, then
They'll want more
Sixth album, seventh album, eighth album
I'm really proud of, I'm really shouting

But this is how I've felt for years
This is how I've spelt my tears
This is where I'm best and where I'll rest
And where I kill my fears

There's a lot of me on this track
Hello once again
I've been writing these songs
Forgive and forget

I won't right your wrongs
I train to outlast
In this marathon
But swing for the fences

Call me Barry Bonds
I might not catch my break right now
But I love who I am
Tryna be a real man on the real life ground

Crayon in my hand
I'd rather be joyful than to be profound
Tryna make you understand
The Son of Man is glad when you're around

Everybody always mad
Why make a stand when you can make a sound
Real loud, lovin' life is allowed
I know that's hard to hear now

So tug my sleeve we'll slow down
As we slowly fill in the hollow
So I can wait till tomorrow
