[Intro] My sons, keep them Please forgive me [Verse 1] Whoa, now, I think this woman went and put a hex on me Whoa, now, why'd I let her go and put that s** on me? Whoa, now, I probably shouldn't have watched that girl undress for me The scent of her perfume in the air Got it feeling different in here, yeah [Pre-Chorus] She took my breath away On to some fancy ship Into another place Such an expensive trip But she didn't make me pay for it with my money [Chorus] It's the sins of my father He left the debt to his son To pay the girl who's a mother Collector won't let me run But she didn't make me pay for it with my money I paid for the sins of my father [Verse 2] Whoa, now, she's speaking in a tongue that sounds new to me Whoa, now, mama told me what this could do to me Whoa, now, I wouldn't fall for something like this, usually Tell me how could I ever prepare If my papa never was there? [Pre-Chorus] She took my breath away On to some fancy ship Into another place Such an expensive trip But she didn't make me pay for it with my money [Chorus] It's the sins of my father He left the debt to his son To pay the girl who's a mother Collector won't let me run But she didn't make me pay for it with my money I paid for the sins of my father [Bridge] (Father) Hurt me, please me, yeah (father) No, I don't deserve the debt that came with my birth (father) No, why have I been pretending this is something that that man come up with? I'm praying I reverse this curse [Chorus] It's the sins of my father He left the debt to his son To pay the girl who's a mother Collector won't let me run But she didn't make me pay for it with my money I paid for the sins of my father
