Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord forgive us
We all look for guidance
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage, to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
[Phonte]
Cocky son of a you know, the word be traveling
And my thoughts unravel when I stopped and got near to ya
And checked out your posterior, oh lord it's
So gorgeous, so fine, so thorough
Body like a goddess, it's out of this world
Not a sex therapist looking for inner peace
I'ma sex terrorist hitting your Middle East
And I know my sins won't get me to the promised land
And for eternal life my chances ain't promising
But I'm gonna find a way to shake these sinner heathens
And take these inner demons out my life, I promise man
[Hook - Pooh & Phonte]
God delivers, God forgive us
We all hustlers and thieves, we all sinners
We all wandering men with lost spirits
We all praying to heaven, can y'all hear us?
God delivers, God forgive us
We all wandering men with lost spirits
We all crazy deranged and off-center
We all guilty of lust, we all sinners
[Pooh]
Got the perfect scheme, got the perfect team
Got the perfect way where we can come up on cream
Talking 'bout more money than you ever seen
Talking 'bout enough money so you can live your dreams
Got the perfect time, got the perfect date
Got the perfect place, got the perfect weight
Gotta slow it down, gotta catch my breath
Gotta keep us on track 'fore we track a mess
Got this lady upstairs in my busy-ness
Gotta keep her upstairs causing me stress
Gotta keep order, maintain the cover
Gotta keep these dudes apart 'fore they kill each other
He gotta keep his job, he had to tell his wife
I'd be surprised if time come man we get it right
The time's here, everybody in they places right?
Time to go to work, let's have a great night
[Hook]
[Pooh]
So when my time come please remember
That I'm still just a man, just a lowly sinner
Who's repenting right now God I hope you remember
Please open up your gates allow me to enter
[Phonte]
I know my sins won't make me a better man
But now I'm hoping for a life in a better land
Where I can find a way to shake these sinner heathens
And take these inner demons out my life, forever man
[Hook]
The song "Sinners" by Little Brother reflects on the inherent flaws and struggles within individuals, recognizing that everyone is prone to sin and temptation. The lyrics are a contemplation and acknowledgement of human imperfections, and a plea for forgiveness and guidance from a higher power.
In the verse performed by Phonte, he acknowledges his arrogance and lustful thoughts, expressing his awareness of his own sinful nature. Despite his awareness, he humorously compares himself to a "sex terrorist" seeking temporary gratification. The lyrics also suggest a desire for change and redemption, as Phonte vows to find a way to rid himself of these inner demons.
In the chorus, both Phonte and Pooh emphasize the universality of sin, presenting a portrait of humanity as wandering souls with lost spirits. They recognize that everyone is guilty of various vices and desires, and they beseech God to deliver them from their sins and forgive their transgressions.
The final verse by Pooh further delves into the complexities of human nature. He describes the pursuit of wealth and success, while acknowledging the need to maintain order and balance in his life. He recognizes the potential consequences of his actions, and expresses a desire for redemption and entry into heaven when his time comes.
Overall, "Sinners" presents a heartfelt reflection on the multifaceted nature of human beings, their shortcomings, and their constant search for redemption and forgiveness.

Currently, I am seeking forgiveness, oh God, I hope you recall

I implore you to grant me entry through the gates of heaven
I know my sins won't make me a better man
I am aware that my transgressions will not improve my character
But now I'm hoping for a life in a better land
However, now I aspire for a life in a superior realm
Where I can find a way to shake these sinner heathens
In that place, I hope to discover a means to rid myself of my sinful nature
And take these inner demons out my life, forever man
And permanently eliminate the inner struggles and temptations from my existence
We all guilty of lust, we all sinners
We all carry the burden of lust, we are all sinners
