Sins of My Father

My sons, keep them
Please forgive me

Whoa, now, I think this woman went and put a hex on me
Whoa, now, why'd I let her go and put that sex 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

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

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

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?

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

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

(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

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
