[Interlude: Sly]

Say it ain't so

Oh, oh, ohh

Oh, say it ain't so

I've been hustling all these years, child, for a better tomorrow in faith

Know that I-I never meant to cause you any sorrow (Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow)

I never meant to cause you any

Meant to cause you any pain

Oh, I, I blame it all on me

Lord knows that I should've been there

Oh, I, should've been there (Should've been there)

When you needed me but I'm here now (For the whole world)

Fightin' back the tears, I can't believe I gotta say goodbye

It's too soon (It's too soon) to cry for you (Cry)

Forgive me, mama

I'm fightin' back the tears, I can't believe my little brother died

It's way too soon (It's too soon) to cry for you, no (Hell no)

I'm thinkin' 'bout settin' it off (Thinkin' 'bout settin' it off)

Thinkin' bout killin' them all (Thinkin' 'bout killin' them all)

They say retaliation is mandatory

Lord, help me walk away

(Lord, help me to walk away)

Lord, help me

(Lord, help me to walk away)

Lord, help me

(Lord, help me to walk away)

And let your will be done

Oh, ohh
