Lyrics:[Shelly Thunder]Forgive us all trespassers as we forgive those that trespass against usAlthough them again we will never, never, never trustHoo-oo-oo-oo-ooDem noh know weh dem do, dig out yuh yei while dem sticking like glue,Fling, skin, grin while dem plotting fah you,True, Ah Who???[Lauryn Hill]Forgive them father for they know not what they doForgive them father for they know not what they doBeware the false motives of othersBe careful of those who pretend to be brothersAnd you never suppose it's those who are closest to you (to you)They say all the right things to gain their positionThen use your kindness as their ammunitionTo shoot you down in the name of ambition, they doForgive them father for they know not what they doForgive them father for they know not what they do[Lauryn Hill - rapping]Why every Indian wanna be the chief?Feed a man 'til he full and he still want beefGive me grief, try to tief off my pieceWhy for you to increase, I must decrease?If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streetsI know enough cats that don't turn the other cheekBut I try to keep it civilized like MenelikAnd other African czars observing stars with war scarsGet yours in this capitalistic systemSo many caught or got bought you can't list themHow you gonna idolize the missing?To survive is to stay alive in the face of oppositionEven when they comin' gunnin'I stand positionL on the mission since conceptionLet's free the people from deceptionIf you looking for the answersThen you gotta ask the questionsAnd when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghettoSick of men trying to pull strings like GeppettoWhy black people always be the ones to settleMarch through these streets like Soweto[Lauryn Hill]Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas,Backstabbers do thisForgive them father for they know not what they doForgive them father for they know not what they doIt took me a little while to discoverWolves in sheep coats who pretend to be loversMen who lack conscience will even lie to themselves (to themselves)A friend once said, and I found to be trueThat everyday people, they lie to God tooSo what makes you think, that they won't lie to youForgive them father for they know not what they doForgive them, forgive themForgive them father for they know not what they doForgive them, forgive them[Shelly Thunder]Gwan like dem love while dem rip yuh to shreds,Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead,Dem a yuh fren who yuh depen pon from way back when,But if yuh gi dem yuh back den yuh mus meet yuh end,Dem noh know wey dem do,Dem noh know wey dem do,Dem no know, dem no know, dem no know,Dem no know, dem no know wey dem do

Feb 17, 2012 - I know it's hard to FORGIVE your enemies of their EVIL actions. However, we need to FORGIVE them from a distance to heal our wounds. One doesn't have try to have a friendship with them when one can't trust and don't feel SAFE around them. I believe that was one of JESUS great quotes. Luke 23:34

Feb 26, 2012 - wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom When I loosen my necktie into a pair of flowing ends -- like this? Yes, that goes so well with your moustache and the sweep of your curls. I should not call them curls exactly; I should rather say locks Yes, they are too big for curls. Locks describes them better. (after a pause, twitching his jacket).] Father! Well, what is it? Oh, you know very well. No, really I don't -- (half laughing, half whispering).] Oh, yes, father; now don't tease

Apr 14, 2012 - "Forgive them father!, for they KNOW NOT what they do" .. My favorite favorite quote as of now.... Sometimes, when I see wrongdoings, or just things that just make me uncomfortable/uneasy.. I think to myself "Forgive them father, for they know not what they do" ..This quote holds so much truth to it, for me at least.... Many people go on with their lives, hurting people, causing so called 'suffering'; not knowing the damage they are doing... I love this song! Very pretty! <3 I'm glad I found it!
