Ty Karmz - Father, Forgive Them Lyrics

That's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
Used to wanna be a lawyer, plans got ruined
Feds used to stop man, ask what I'm doing
Say I fit the profile of a man they're pursuing
Same colour skin, same kinda clothes
Now they're searching man on the side of the road
People walking by disappointment in their eyes
Got me feeling like shit and I ain't even do a crime
Man I swear it played with a young niggas mind
Only way out is ps so, young nigga grind
There ain't no love here, all I see is hate
Living in hell feeling like there's no escape
And you ain't lived this life, so you can't relate
Arson, my neighbour burned to death on my estate
Stepped out my door hella jakes and blue tape
F*cked up man used to chill there til it was late
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
Why you think I was volunteering in Grenfell
Pain in my heart that I gotta let my pen tell
Stories like Shakespeare, all's well that ends well
I'll have them looking up my lines like chemtrails
If I ever wronged you, truly I'm sorry
I ain't proud to say I know like 5 man with a body
This kill or be killed, lifestyle is shoddy
Tried to kill my other neighbour, ran in with a shotty
I was in my room when I heard that gun boom
Man this life's so f*cked, God's gotta come soon
Shooter ducked out, I went next door
Looked and saw a big f*cking hole in the floor
Put it on God I ain't lie about a detail
I was so focused, then I got derailed
Everyone was trapping, me I worked retail
Then I got caught up, parties and females
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
I grew up in them flats, infested with rats
Never had no scratch when I was sitting my SATs
Mum couldn't buy a playstation when they came round
I had to wait a year until the price came down
And then when I got them games they were played out
My older brother caused trouble when we played out
Them niggas weren't as bad as they made out
I've seen a couple so called killers getting laid out
A lot of man half hearted on this street ting
If they caught you on the other side that was a peak ting
That ends rivalry it was a deep ting
And that was real beef, no horse meat ting
That was in the past though, we're all grown now
Tryna build an empire like Rome now
So I'm conversing with Chef on the phone how
I'ma put these tracks out and lock down the whole town
SE14 that's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
That's the hood that I grew in
That's the hood that I grew in
Father, forgive them
For they do not know what they're doing
