Sins Of My Father
Usher Song Lyrics

My sons, keep them

Please forgive me!

Woah now, I think this woman went and put a hex on me

Woah now, why'd I let her go and put that sex on me

Woah now, I probably shouldn't of watched that girl undress for me

Oh, the scent of her perfume in the air

Got it feeling different in here, yeah

She took my breath away

On to some fancy shit

Into another place

Such an expensive trip

But she didn't make me pay for it with my money

[Chorus]

Oh, it's the sins of my father

He left a debt to his son

To pay the girl who's a mother

Collector won't let me run, no

But she didn't make me pay for it with my money,

I paid for the sins of my father

Oh, now she's speaking in a tongue that sounds new to me

Oh, now momma told me what this could do to me

Oh now, I wouldn't fall for something like this usually

No, no, tell me how could I ever prepare

If my papa never was there?

Oh, she took my breath away

On to some fancy ship

And to another place

Such an expensive trip!

But she didn't make me pay for it with my money

[Chorus]

Oh, it's the sins of my father

He left a debt to his son

To pay the the girl who's a mother

Collector won't let me run, no

But she didn't make me pay for it with my money,

I paid for the sins of my father

[Bridge]

(Father) hurt me, please me yeah

(Father) no, I don't deserve the debt that came with my birth

(Father) no, oh, why have I been pretending this is somethin' that that man come up with?

I'm praying I reverse this curse

[Chorus]

Oh, it's the sins of my father

He left the debt to his son, hey

To pay the the girl who's a mother

Collector won't let me run, no, hey

But she didn't make me pay for it with my money,

I paid for the sins of my father
