Please Forgive Me
Mama please forgive me.
I never intended to be the reflection that you hate
the part of America you wish you could change
the freedom flowing from my lips just keep shackling you
and I do not know what to do.
You swear you never raised me to be like this
but you raised me to love and to care
and I promise to stay true to that
even if it feels like you and I are on different teams
different sides
different planets
you made me who I am
and I cannot apologize for that.
