Evil Deeds Question

Postby X'ed Up » Mar 24th, '10, 02:24

In the chorus he says:

Father, please forgive for I know not what I do,
I just never had the chance to ever meet you,

Is he speaking to his biological father or God. I think it's God because in the beginning he says:
Lord, please forgive for what I do,
For I know not what I've done,

But in the chorus he says I never met you and we all know he never met his father.

So I'm confused :confusion:

It's a pun, meant to be both literal and figurative at the same time.
Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

So, it was both his father and God right? :unsure:

Excuse my ignorance :sweating:

Well, the "father" in the figurative case would be a priest (or higher ranked) who is hearing Em's confession.
The "Lord" part makes sense because the priest acts as a liason between God.
Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

I think that one line where he says Lord is the only one directed to God.

The rest are his father.

Of course, I see why it would be both. Anyways, it's just what I think it is.

Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president dead
