Mother

Friends wanna kill me
 But I give them all my loving anyway
 If God won't forgive me
 I'm not the only one to make amends
 Mother, it's not in my hands
 Try to understand it's only 'cause I can
 Fools believe they can erase
 All that they've done wrong
 But I don't wanna be their son

 She's trying to judge me
 But I can see the sins that stain your smile
 Friends say I got a few reasons
 But I'm crawling out of the city
 I'm tired of bowing to preachers all the time
 Mother, it's not in my hands
 Try to understand it's only 'cause I can
 Fools believe they can erase
 All that they've done wrong
 But I don't wanna be their son
