As life goes on I?m starting to learn more and more about responsibility   And I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me   So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done   And 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   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 I would neglect   I?m sorry for the times 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 am not aware   That 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 am so proud to call you my girl      I understand that there are some problems   And I am not too blind to know   All the pain you kept inside you   Even though you might not show      If I can't apologize for being wrong   Then 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      I'm sorry for the things that he put you through   And all the times you didn?t know what to do   I'm sorry that you had to go and sell those bags   Just trying to stay busy till you heard from dad      When you would rather be home with all your kids   As one big family with love and bliss   And even though pops treated us like kings   He got a second wife and you didn?t agree      He got up and left you there all alone   I?m 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 too fast   I wish I would?ve listened and not be so bad   I?m sorry that your life turned out this way   I?m sorry that the Feds came and took me away      I understand that there are some problems   And I am not too blind to know   All the pain you kept inside you   Even though you might not show      If I can't apologize for being wrong   Then 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      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 shouldn't never let her out that young      I?m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down   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 anybody wanna take blame?   Verizon backed out disgracing my name   I?m just a singer trying to entertain   Because I love my fans I?ll take that blame      Even though the blame?s on you   Even though the blame?s on you   Even though the blame?s on you   I?ll take that blame from you      And you can put that blame on me   And you can put that blame on me   You can put that blame on me   And you can put that blame on me      And you can put that blame on me   And you can put that blame on me
