Son Of A Bad Man

You know they say that death don't wait for no man
There's so much time before he calls us home
When it's coming, I can feel it in my bones, yeah
Well, I gave up on the honest man, I've tried my own
It seems I'm better left alone

They've been tryna save my soul, ain't no use in even trying
I've been down that road, once or twice, mama crying
Daddy gone, you can blame it on the goddamn son of a bad man

My daddy was a righteous man, didn't fault and didn't slip
Then one day he up and left, what a fucking hypocrite
They say the sins of the father might stain yo' clothes
I just hope

O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul

I made a deal with the devil, but he lied to my face
And he said that it might cost me, but he never said to raise
Ain't no sunshine calling, every one time's all in
I'm at the point I'm exhausted, and I'll soon find what it costs

Man, I just wish I could start again, I'm talking to God again
I've been walking at the end line, with me and the law again
No more I'll be a good man, have mercy on yo' man
And let me go

O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul
O Lord, forgive my soul

I fell on the other side of town without that little penny left to give
And I turned down to deal with the devil just to get out of hell
But I'm still blood-covered in sin
