Say it ain't so
Oh, oh, ohh
Oh, say it ain't so
I've been hustling all these years, child, for a better tomorrow in faith
Know that I-I never meant to cause you any sorrow (Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow)
I never meant to cause you any
Meant to cause you any pain
Oh, I, I blame it all on me
Lord knows that I should've been there
Oh, I, should've been there (Should've been there)
When you needed me but I'm here now (For the whole world)
Fightin' back the tears, I can't believe I gotta say goodbye
It's too soon (It's too soon) to cry for you (Cry)
Forgive me, mama
I'm fightin' back the tears, I can't believe my little brother died
It's way too soon (It's too soon) to cry for you, no (Hell no)
I'm thinkin' 'bout settin' it off (Thinkin' 'bout settin' it off)
Thinkin' bout killin' them all (Thinkin' 'bout killin' them all)
They say retaliation is mandatory
Lord, help me walk away
(Lord, help me to walk away)
Lord, help me
(Lord, help me to walk away)
Lord, help me
(Lord, help me to walk away)
And let your will be done
Oh, ohh
