Don’t Blame Me

[Intro]
This a message
Uh
There comes a time in a man's life
When we gotta let go of them little boy habits
And become a man
Listen to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man

[Chorus]
Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me?
Was a man puttin' business before my family?
Was a man
No good examples, always remember what I see
Was a man
'Cause I really thought I was being a man

[Verse 1]
There comes a time in a man's life
When we gotta wake up and see things different (Shoo-da-do)
I'm not the past 'cause it's dead and gone
I could start over now 'cause I ain't been livin' (Shoo-da-do)
Wanna give my love to you if you say you'll stick around
But you're first in my life, baby (Shoo-da-do)
I've been actin' a fool, let me confess my sins to you
I wanna make this thing right
Baby, don't blame me

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man

[Chorus]
Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me?
Was a man puttin' business before my family?
Was a man
No good examples, always remember what I see
Was a man
'Cause I really thought I was being a man

[Verse 2]
Didn't take the lead 'cause peer pressure called out
Doin' dirt with my homies, I ain't proud (Shoo-da-do)
'Cause I realize how much that you mean to my life
When I opened up my eyes, huh (Shoo-da-do)
Don't focus on the past, be open to new
This moment we can break through yeah, oh (Shoo-da-do)
I love you, baby
And I wanna hear you say
You forgive me and we gon' be together always
Don't blame me

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man

[Chorus]
Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me?
Was a man puttin' business before my family?
Was a man
No good examples, always remember what I see
Was a man
'Cause I really thought I was being a man

[Bridge]
I thought I was being a man
But I wasn't, huh
I was playin' in the streets, oh, ohh
Yeah (Shoo-da-do)
Do you hear me, yeah?
(Shoo-da-do)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man
Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be what I thought was a man

[Chorus]
Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me?
Was a man puttin' business before my family?
Was a man
No good examples, always remember what I see
Was a man
'Cause I really thought I was being a man
