The actual story is worst than what I said

lyrics

Sins of My Father

(Intro)
This… the hardest song I had to write,
I’m fearing now letting the paper hit the pen tonight,
That’s right I’m scared to write ‘cause I gotta sum all my strife,
In 16’s, 8 bars, and 4 minutes of kilobytes,
Pain in my life I place it on the altar,
My sacrifice to be purged of what has had me bothered,
I’ve kept emotions bottled,
That inner pressure’s awful,
Hold it in I ought to,
But I’mma blow up I got to Uh

(Chorus)
Sins of my father,
Am I doomed to repeat all of his problems? Everywhere that he faltered!
Sins of my father,
The apple don’t fall far from the tree and I ain’t rolled farther,
Sins of my father,
Dump me in holy water I don’t want to walk the path he charted,
Sins of my father,
But apples don’t fall far from the tree and I ain’t rolled farther

(Verse 1)
My biggest gripe is you betrayed our trust,
My train of thought don’t wanna toss you under the bus,
But, I gotta say this and blatant I’mma make it:
Why the fuck you say it was a ‘business trip’ in Vegas?!
You even had me drive me you up to where the plane picked you up,
Business conference? What the fuck!
I shoulda known something’s up,
You blowin’ hundreds on a bitch in a casino,
And I don’t get a dollar for tuition not a single,
But what’s evil… you’ve been cheating like a weasel,
But under church steeples you act like one of the holy people,
Like it’s not illegal in the Bible to adulterate,
Fornicate… but we see your morals are second-rate,
Hypocrites I really hate and that’s what you are,
Forced me to join the church when I don’t believe in God,
But what’s odd all along you don’t at all,
Fraud, admit it, Franz, pussy and alcohol’s your God.

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Every man has faults… no one’s pure in thought,
But you made me walk the walk when all you did was fuckin’ talk,
Like you were holier than thou all of the while,
You were sleeping with different women. That can’t be forgiven,
Felt like I was in prison; force-fed me religion saying ‘Be a Christian,’
Same mouth some slut was kissing,
And need I mention when I disagreed you beat me?
Mistreat me ‘cause church wasn’t where I’d want to be seen,
That’s the past… I won’t be like you or granddad,
Cheating in the fam I refuse to be the 3-peat,
Saw the pain it ‘caused mom,
Her heart ached strong,
You did her wrong that image has yet to leave me,
So on this CD, everything within me,
That could make me like you I’m bidding good-bye to,
I could never like you after being lied to,
Now the biggest fear I knew is being like you.

(Chorus)
