Forgive Me
Jeezy Monica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One look at my baby girl I had to get it right
Superman in these streets hey but you my kryptonite
I'm on this drink, I’m on this smoke, I’m going super Crip tonight
Something like a scientist, I mix it like it's antidote
Then I sent that 8 ball down the block Scrappy Loc
Rest in peace to Pookie Loc, blame it on me never snitching
Lord knows I ain't send the homie on no dummy mission
Still a hero in my eyes, you up in heaven tell him that
Don’t tell me how to raise my son just know he gone be a man
If the scale is 1-10, just know he gone be a grand
Before I stand with flaw niggas I would rather stand alone
Till I’m stand, on the top like what he standing on
They say that I'm wishy washy, ain't nobody perfect though
They say Young you growing up, hope they know you worth it though
The shit I’m smoking on got me trippin' please forgive me
The shit I’m sippin' on got me trippin' will you forgive me
Look you in your eyes when I’m talking know you hear me
Just listen to the words to the song I know you feel me
'Cause ain't nobody perfect in this world please forgive me
Shit I’m smoking on got me trippin' will you forgive me
Look me in your eyes when I’m talking know you hear me
The shit I’m smoking on got me trippin' will you forgive me
I ain't them and they ain't me maybe that’s the disconnect
I do my tequila straight but I do not do disrespect
You know I remind them though forgetful niggas they forget
Before the deal I had a check and I put that on the set
Breaking units down in Fatty room, white mountains on the dresser
Forgive me Auntie Sarah when we fell out look I knew it's stressful
Wasn’t for you I ride on 'em, look we in a rival gang
You know I'm screaming "fuck the other side," guess that just a rival thing
100 dollars re'ing up. back then we always talked
But since the fame ain't been the same
Forgive me Mrs Brenda Ross, nah not your nephew acting like a rap nigga
Like I ain’t sit on your front porch talk shit and trap with you
You asked me to help with your wedding, argument in front your kids
Hurts me to the very day, lamest shit I ever did
So please forgive me lil sister because I know I hurt your soul
Your husband is a lucky man I hope he know you worth it though
The shit I’m smoking on got me trippin' please forgive me
The shit I’m sippin' on got me trippin' will you forgive me
Look you in your eyes when I’m talking know you hear me
Just listen to the words to the song I know you feel me
'Cause ain't nobody perfect in this world please forgive me
Shit I’m smoking on got me trippin' will you forgive me
Look you in your eyes when I’m talking know you hear me
The shit I’m smoking on got me trippin' please forgive me
In "Forgive Me" by Jeezy Monica, the rapper talks about his past mistakes and asks for forgiveness. He reflects on his life as a thug and drug dealer, admitting to his past wrongs while promising to be a better man. The song is an apology to those he has wronged and a call for them to forgive him.
Jeezy starts by acknowledging his life as a thug and how he has done wrongs in the past. However, one look at his daughter made him realize he had to get it right. He calls himself Superman in these streets, meaning he was invincible, but his daughter became his Kryptonite, his weakness, making him change his ways. He then talks about drinking and smoking, as his way of relaxing at night, but then seeing himself going "super Crip" tonight, referencing to the Crip gang, which he has affiliations with.
Jeezy then reflects on his past as a drug dealer, mentioning that he mixed his drugs like an antidote and sent an 8 ball down to the block to Scrappy Loc, a fellow Crip gang member. He also references Pookie Loc, a fellow Crip gang member known for his involvement in the death of Tupac Shakur. While he acknowledges his past, he also emphasizes that he never snitched on anyone or sent any homies on a dummy mission.
In the second verse, Jeezy talks about his relationships with his family and friends that he has wronged in the past. He asks for forgiveness from his Auntie Sarah after a falling out, admitting that he was wrong in that situation. He also mentions Brenda Ross, his friend's aunt, as he acted like a "rap nigga" instead of the friend he used to be. He promises to be a better man and acknowledges that nobody is perfect, asking for forgiveness from his little sister too.
Overall, "Forgive Me" is a heartfelt song about Jeezy's past mistakes and his genuine desire for forgiveness. The song reflects on his growth as a man and encourages others to acknowledge their mistakes and ask for forgiveness too.
