The new F word, is forgive
I'mma say it again, The new F word, is forgive
Now that said, do me a favor, touch your neighbour and say: 'F you!'
Do me a favor, touch your neighbour and say: 'F you!'
If anybody here, has ever done it dumber than a dumb thing
If anybody here, has ever called a lover by the wrong name
You need an Amen (Amen!)
I think I fucked it up again (Amen!)
If anybody here has to have it all, talkin' 'stead of listening
If anybody here has ever threw your future off a building
You need an Amen (Amen!)
I think I fucked it up again (Amen!)
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low, everybody, if you feel me, let me know
All I want is some forgiveness from a girl I know
For the love, For the love
You need an Amen
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low, everybody, if you feel me, let me know
All I want is some forgiveness from a girl I know
For the love, For the love
You need an Amen (Amen!) 3x
I think I fucked it up again
Has anybody here forgot to call when they promise they would check-in
Has anybody here been an idiot instead of been a best friend
Has anybody smell of perfume, after they been working
Has anybody hurt someone then felt like a piece of nothing
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low, everybody, if you feel me, let me know
All I want is some forgiveness from a girl I know
For the love, For the love
You need an Amen
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low, everybody, if you feel me, let me know
All I want is some forgiveness from a girl I know
For the love, For the love
You need an Amen (Amen!) 5x
I think I fucked it up again
Kim Cesarion's "Amen" is a song that explores the theme of forgiveness. The chorus starts off with the lines, "If anybody here has ever done it dumber than a dumb thing, If anybody here has ever called a lover by the wrong name, You need an Amen, I think I fucked it up again, Amen!" These lyrics suggest that the singer has made mistakes in his life, and he's asking for forgiveness from those he's hurt. The song continues with the lines, "Has anybody here forgot to call when they promise they would check-in, Has anybody here been an idiot instead of been a best friend." Once again, the singer admits to his shortcomings and asks for forgiveness.
The opening lines of the song, "Please don't get offended, The new F word, is forgive, I'mma say it again, The new F word, is forgive, Now that said, do me a favor, touch your neighbor and say: 'F you!'", are meant to shock and grab the listener's attention. The message is clear, instead of using the old "F-word" for anger and frustration, the new "F-word" should be forgiveness. This approach is refreshing and shows that even though the singer may have made mistakes, he's willing to learn and grow from them. Overall "Amen" is a song about owning up to your faults and seeking forgiveness.
