Sister Emma, Forgive Me
Soul
[Verse 1] To my sister Emma Blacks, I wish you a good life I wish you could be mine only, because you have a good heart But you are my sister How am I going to live in this world without peace? I was Owuoo, but now I am Adom Derro A name can change, but the weight stays the same [Pre-Chorus ] Oh, I don't mean to make you cry I don't mean to make you cry When I die, you box me off I mean no shame, no girl [Chorus ] I am a piece of shit My prayers is that Lord Jesus, please let me out of my wrong doings 'Cause I can't come out, so I need a good partner Who loves me for what I am Lord Jesus, please let me out I need someone who loves me for what I am [Verse 2] I see your face in the morning light And I know these thoughts ain't right The guilt sits heavy on my chest like stone I'm trapped inside a house that ain't a home You deserve better than this broken man Who can't even understand Why his heart went down this crooked road Carrying a shameful load [Pre-Chorus ] Oh, I don't mean to make you cry Never meant to make you cry When I die, you box me off I deserve no less, no more [Chorus ] I am a piece of shit My prayers is that Lord Jesus, please let me out of my wrong doings 'Cause I can't come out, so I need a good partner Who loves me for what I am Lord Jesus, please let me out I need someone who loves me for what I am [Bridge ] Emma Blacks, forgive me if you can I'm just a lost and broken man Calling out to heaven for a sign That redemption still could be mine From Owuoo to Adom Derro I became But neither name could wash away the shame [Chorus ] I am a piece of shit My prayers is that Lord Jesus, please let me out of my wrong doings 'Cause I can't come out, so I need a good partner Who loves me for what I am Lord Jesus, please let me out I need someone who loves me for what I am [Outro ] To my sister Emma Blacks, I wish you a good life I wish you peace where I found none And when I'm gone, you box me off Maybe then I'll finally be undone Lord, send me someone who can love This broken soul I've become
