forgiveness.

Forgive me for being so sentimental I wrote this project to help me when I'm in peril When I'm wrapped up in depression like its apparel This strips me back to what's actually fundamental Sometimes you got to be gentle Sit and relax with your mental To understand some struggles Are meant to temper your metal Won't always think it a detriment Cause down the road it always goes in our benefit The world's chaotic we got to stay vigilant Gets out of pocket like wallets when paying cheques People will comment and gossip but won't assist Our routes uncommon they wouldn't know where it twists So we're unbothered by anyone's ignorance And we'll stay bonded to forging our inner bliss We owe ourselves forgiveness We weren't given fair shakes We had to brace before we soared We've made a million mistakes We hope to make a million more If the earth is a stage We're made for the encore If there's such thing as the fates We cope by never keeping score Forgive me for preferring meadows A softer life after surviving the ghetto I'll trade my pistol for posies and pick the petals Les Miserables would be baffled, say I'm neglectful Predict the privileged would find it so preferential But I can't find generosity rubbing elbows We'll stay oblivious to any sect And keep our interests in the insects That's underground, but not a pitfall Got to nurture the soil to grow sequoia tall Got to unearth the spoils beneath your vitriol Got to honor the order Before you walk you have to crawl I'll be your biggest supporter Knowing you have given your all It might start small We're here for the long haul We weren't given fair shakes We had to brace before we soared We've made a million mistakes We hope to make a million more If the earth is a stage We're made for the encore If there's such thing as the fates We cope by never keeping score Six, seven, eight Alright, alright, uh, alright Uh See the dahlia is my favorite flower A lot of different kinds of dahlias It's a very strong flower It goes dormant in the winter But it always can come back Thing about the dahlia is It can symbolize Instability, betrayal But also elegance, grace, and steadfastness
