lirik lagu king karlemagne - matthew 5:44
[verse 1]
scars on my flesh
stab wounds in my back
my blood’s on the blade
of the folks with whom i sat
dear lord i pray
for the power to forgive
strengthen my faith
so that my enemies live
[chorus]
bless them by whom i’m cursed
heal those from whom i hurt
do right by those who did me wrong
cause all they did was make me strong
[verse 2]
the tale of cain and abel, it was cautionary
to where i’m paranoid with my brothers near me
happens so often that we all are wary
never tell a soul where the skulls are buried
you had a hundred, gave ten, tell me why you’re jealous?
i had ten and gave nine, how the bible tells us
sacrifices made with each offering, prayed and preached often and
made it to be fortunate
accuse me of witch craft, i’m used to the riff~raff
what sense would it make to add fuel to a lit match?
guess we were mismatched— truth and lies don’t go together
yeah it’s easier to tell it, but i could show you better
for years it tortured me, gave all, then more of me
when the lord is with you they will blame it on sorcery
drained morally— tell them come with better rumors
broke the doors they closed on me— i’m the said intruder
(king me)
[chorus]
bless them by whom i’m cursed
heal those from whom i hurt
do right by those who did me wrong
cause all they did was make me strong
[bridge]
feed those that let me starve
and heal those i may have scarred
and all of those who hate me
dear lord give them all my love
[verse 3]
you were more than my aunt, like a mother i loved you
always took your side when others discussed you
but the telephone games made it tougher to trust you
they threw dirt on my name, you got caught with the shovel
fake hugs and judas kisses, what families get ruined with
tried healing it with love, sadly love couldn’t fix
what you bottled up years, seems weird no one knew it since
it’s why i had to x you out like a crucifix
let you tell it i’m a idiot and hypocrite—
mentally ill, plenty’s revealed; jehovah witnessed it
something’s not adding up, bad arithmetic
watch your back around those you laugh and grimace with
i’m only mentally ill with the pen and these sk!lls
crucify the god, but in the end you will kneel
i’ve never been one to make amends or rebuild
rather love you from a distance, and forget of your existence
all is forgiven
fore they know not what they do…
(checkmate)
[outro]
scars on my flesh

of the folks with whom i sat

bless them by whom i’m cursed
heal those from whom i hurt
do right by those who did me wrong
cause all they did was make me strong
feed those that let me starve
and heal those i may have scarred
and all of those who hate me
dear lord give them all my love
