[Chorus: Brianna Cash]
Question is, can you forgive, baby?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
I love you from a distance
It got me so persistent
I love you from a distance
It got me so persistent

[Verse 1: Tory Lanez]
My shorty had an abortion for me like three times
As hard is that to say that to y'all
I think it's much harder to keep it silent
I hide emotion behind a face that's devoted
To only winnin' this race and this pussy, money, and violence
How could I be so selfish and need this time for myself?
Needing time for your health to recover, I'm on some other
I'm out there sellin' soap to these fiends, hopin' for dough for myself
23 like is there hope for myself?
'Cause if I never have a kid again, I'll be pissed but I deserve it
I been cursed with all these man-made ways
In this earth that I been livin' in
Sorry for the present problems that I put you on and get you in
Father God, take my soul if I can't play my role
'Cause I know what I'm doin', it ain't right, it ain't wrong but
In mid decisions, takin' life just ain't the way of life
'Cause day and night, I pray to Christ
In all hopes that you'll forgive me, shawty

[Chorus: Brianna Cash & Tory Lanez]
Question is, can you forgive, baby? (Yeah)
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
I love you from a distance
It becomes so persistent
I love you from a distance
It becomes so persistent

[Verse 2: Tory Lanez]
Hopped off the phone with my dad, niggas barely do speak
But I'm sending Western Union wires every two weeks
I got a brand new brother and sister I never do see
He might call to send me a blessing and tell me do me
But shit, I been doin' me since 14
Four court cases, court scene, four courses caught clean
Corner boy fortune, unfortunate dope fiends
That got a nigga cuffed in the court with these lawyer fees
And I just felt the game callin' me "A"
Felt like Mitch in Paid in Full
In a world that's gon' pay me full
Dropped out of school, them teachers just called me "fool"
Packed the black bag up, I'm back on my bull
You always told me these problems would soon catch up to me
And shit is catchin' up and fuckin' me up
Fourth quarter hustlin', I'm 'bout to sell a three up
If the Ds come, I'm gone
Pop, please forgive me for this song, gotta understand

[Chorus: Brianna Cash]
Question is, can you forgive, baby?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?

[Verse 3: Tory Lanez]
I really contemplated killin' you
Grippin' and cluthin' on side this pistol in my hand
Used to be my fam, dawg, you used to be my man
Solely out respect for your mom, I say your name, but I can't, look
Niggas would say they love and wanna kill you
This feeling's feelin' familiar, I felt it for way too long
Feelin' like the feelin' you felt was just way too strong
It felt like jealousy was just weighin' in on your dome
Should've cut ties, man I should've cut ties
Lord please, Lord please forgive my young eyes
I was young and unwise, I was just so naive
I was tryin' just believe, I was tryin' just perceive
But them niggas, they was greed, they was livin' outta greed
Now I'm livin' out a dream, cookin' kitchen outta steam
And you gotta feel me
Yacht master on a yacht looking filthy
That's why they do not feel me
You dig?

[Chorus: Brianna Cash]
Question is, can you forgive, baby?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
Can you forgive me for the way I love you?
I love you from a distance
It becomes so persistent
I love you from a distance
It becomes so persistent
I love you from a distance
It becomes so persistent
I love you from a distance
It becomes so persistent
