Usher - Sins of My Father [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by Salaam Remi and Rico Love]

[Intro]
My sons, keep them
Please forgive me!

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
She took my breath away
On to some fancy ship
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 the 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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[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]
