This life goes on, starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize that everything that I do is affecting the people around me
So I wanted to take this time out to apologize for things that I have done
And for things that haven’t occurred yet and things that they don’t want to take responsibility for.
I’m sorry for the times that I left you home
While I was on the road and you were alone
I’m sorry for the times that I had to go
I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know.
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me.
I’m sorry for the times that I would neglect
I’m sorry for the times that I disrespect.
I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done.
I’m sorry I’m not always there for my sons.
I’m sorry for the fact that I’m not away.
And you can't sleep at night when I am not there.
Because I’m in the streets like every day.
I’m sorry for the things that I did not say.
Like, how you are the best thing in my world
And how I'm so proud to call you my girl.

{*Choirs*}
I understand that there are some problems
And I’m not too blind to know
All the things you kept inside you
Even though you might not show.
If I can’t apologize for being wrong,
Than it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain,
And you can put the blame on me.
You can put the blame on me.
You can put the blame on me.
You can put the blame on me.
You can put the blame on me.
Said, you can put the blame on me.
Said, you can put the blame on me.
Said, you can put the blame on me.
You can put the blame on me.

Sorry for things that he put you through.
All the times you didn’t know what to do.
Sorry you had to go sell those bags,
Just trying to stay busy until you heard from Dad.
But, you’d rather be home with all your kids, as one big family with love and bliss.
And even though pops treated us like kids,
He got a second wife and you didn’t agree.
He got up and left you there all alone,
Sorry that you had to do it on your own.
I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief.
I’m sorry that your son was once a thief.
I’m sorry that I grew up way to fast. I wish I would've listened and not been so bad.
I’m sorry that your life turned out this way.
Sorry that the Feds came and took me away.

I’m sorry that it took so long to see,
They were dead wrong, trying to put it on me.
I’m sorry that it took so long to speak,
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani.
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt,
For the embarrassment that she felt.
Just a little young girl trying to have fun,
Her daddy should’ve never let her out that young.
I’m sorry for the club scene getting shutdown.
I hope they manage better next time around.
How was I to know she was underage,
In a 21 and older club they say?
Why doesn’t anyone wanna take blame,
For rising back south, disgracing my name?
I’m just a singer trying to entertaïn.
Because I love my fans, I’ll take that blame!
Even though the blames on you.
Even though the blames on you.
Even though the blames on you.
I’ll take that blame from you.

And you can put that blame on me
