Kevin Gates Trying 2 Forgive

Kevin Gates is back at work. Last year, the rapper emerged with his latest body of work, Khaza – a sequel to his #1 debut album, Islah. The body of work came at a time when Gates made plenty of headlines for wild interviews rather than the music itself but Khaza further proved that Kevin Gates remains one of the best in the South. The project boasted no features and showcased his range, musically and emotionally, for an impressive outing that captured everything we love about Kevin Gates’ music.

Since the album dropped, Kevin Gates has slowly released a handful of records and features. However, on Friday, he linked up with T.I. for their new collaboration, “Active.” Tip initially teased the single roughly a year ago but fans have been hoping for an official release. Just as things between T.I. and Boosie began to bubble up, the King Of The South blessed us with the record which shows him and Kevin Gates at their absolute best.

Shortly after his collab with T.I. dropped, Kevin Gates doubled back with the release of his latest single, “Trying 2 Forgive.” The new single marks his follow-up to “Breakfast,” which he unveiled around Valentine’s Day. This time, Gates unleashes a hard-hitting banger that finds him reflecting on self-improvement and transforming into the head honcho in the streets. Yung Lan holds down the production on this one, delivering a triumphant anthem that pairs perfectly with Gates’ baritone melodic and gruff flow.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yung Lan on the track
I just caught a vibe on ’em
You know I just caught a vibe on ’em, ayy
Tryin’ to forgive
I’m tryin’ to forgive, I’m tryin’ to forgive

[Chorus]
I’ve been working on my heart trying to forgive
I’m built like that for real, been that way for years
Rumors in my head right between my ears
They say they want me dead, I pretend like I don’t hear
Mi seh mi di one, mi seh mi di one
Bricks coming in, haffi know they weigh a ton
Lingo, lingo, lingo in the jungle where we from
Top shotta, the slum, where we tote illegal guns

[Verse 1]
I ain’t nеver been extorted, but I’m still paying lawyеrs
By the media, exploited, and my story got started
Gotta come back shortly, gotta execute sharply
When I grind I’m out my mind and I don’t really leave me time to party
I rather be in Georgia with a light skin Barbie
Putting dick all in her back, we making love until the morning
I’m cooking on a foreman, please don’t look at it alarmin’
I’m a gangster with a mouth full of gold, she love when I’m performin’
Dip out while she gettin’ dressed, gotta meet with my connect
Gotta package in from Cali and this shit ain’t UPS
Overseas, we on hashish, in Morocco, in the slums
I got brick layer status and we built that off of crumbs

[Chorus]
I’ve been working on my heart trying to forgive
I’m built like that for real, been that way for years
Rumors in my head right between my ears
They say they want me dead, I pretend like I don’t hear
Mi seh mi di one, mi seh mi di one
Bricks coming in, haffi know they weigh a ton
Lingo, lingo, lingo in the jungle where we from
Top shotta, the slum, where we tote illegal guns

[Verse 2]
I’ve been working on my heart and I’ve been trying to forgive
Lotta paints come out Detroit and I like mine with the seal
Something fine on a Lear, dick her down from the rear
Getting mop behind the whip, almost hit a deer
It be difficult to steer, I just nutted in her ear
Forgot to text her phone ’cause it’s hard for her to hear
Big body Benz, flexin’ like I’m OG King
Wished death upon by many men, like I was 50 Cent
I’ve been standing out on them street lights, on some foreign engineer
Big booty bitch and her teeth white, I bought her some veneer
Yellin’, show some love on a feature, I’m like why should I pretend?
Wanna purchase you a verse, a hundred thousand dollar bill

[Chorus]
I’ve been working on my heart trying to forgive
I’m built like that for real, been that way for years
Rumors in my head right between my ears
They say they want me dead, I pretend like I don’t hear
Mi seh mi di one, mi seh mi di one
Bricks coming in, haffi know they weigh a ton
Lingo, lingo, lingo in the jungle where we from
Top shotta, the slum, where we tote illegal guns

[Outro]
I’ve been working on my heart trying to forgive
Working on my heart and I’ve been trying to forgive
Trying to forgive
Working on my heart and I’ve been trying to forgive
Ayy, that bitch pressure now
