To who it may concern

father father i wanna confess
i know i went in and made a mess
i was desperate, my famly sick
i needed some money for 'em to eat

i went over there, i knew the risk
i wanted a cure and not the piss
i had mouths to feed, the bills overdue
i never wanted to become someones stew

when i was hungry, no one cared
when i needed some time, all i got was stares
when i was down and almost out
i was asked to move house.

father o father i know i was wrong
i did not mean to end up writing this song
now i am going and leaving them behind
i did 'em wrong but killing isn't kind

remember me for tomorrow at dawn
at your house i will make a call
and i will be coming in from your world
set the fire please let me refresh you 'bout the 'cold'

father o father my heart is a bleeding
i have kept mum so long but here no longer i am needed
they have taken all they want away
and now they send me to your house to pray

for no life have i taken, no one is dead
to put some food at home, they now want my head
yes my father i made a mistake
i'll do my time but not at the stake

i know you are listening but why the silence
haven't we suffered enough with all the violence
i am begging you please, don't call up my number
love ain't that easy, when your stomach hungers.
