Power of Forgiveness

The power of forgiveness, it’s unbelievable 

It’ll truly open your eyes to what he’s capable 

So let me take you back to my hood where nothing goes the plan

First job at the Jamba Juice 🥤 making money for the man

Razzmatazz and white gummy, the secret menu better than 

That one fateful night where my life forever changed 

Late night closing, counting my bank and doing my thang 

Until a young buck walks in, baggy pants and a pro club T

I could see fear in his eyes, as he kept his disguise

Prying for answers behind a seed of lies 

All to get the manager up front so he can continue his game

Colt 45 brandished, and then pointed it at your mayne 

Life froze as I put the money in the bag

Standing 3 feet from death

Is this my last breathe?

Emptied the till, but do I leave the coins behind?

Asked young buck, he said “shut up and get in line”

“Walk to the back of the store, and don’t turn around”

I thought it was over, and I couldn’t make a sound

Life flashed in front of me, like I’m heavenly bound 

“Empty your pockets, your lockers and I want the tapes too”

Then he took my brand new phone, made by the ESPN crew 

Young Buck left the store that night, but he’s forever in my mind

Just imagine the pain and the sorrow, to do that in a bind

Living life in a fractured state, without a care for mankind 

More than a decade has past and I wish him nothing but the best

My life forever changed that day, and I feel nothing but blessed
