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

Hopefully that business is done, But does anyone know what Akon did to Gwen Stefani? ("I was on tour with Gwen Stefani. I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt, and for the embarr****ment that she felt. Just a little young girl tryina have fun, Daddy should have never let 'er out that young.")

TO ALL YOU MESSED UP AKON HATERS!!! Dudes, if you hate Akon because of his personal life, then you should seriously contact a therapist immediately, or shut up and get your facts right. For whatever reason you may hate Akon for...maybe the incident at the club, maybe you still think he's got 3 wives, or the reason he got charged with ****ault. Now..what happened in the club was not Akons fault at all. Before you start arguing with me in your head like a maggot at an ant (:P), think about it. The club in Trinidad and Tobago let in a 15 YEAR OLD GIRL to a 21 AND OVER CLUB. In this song he's apologizing for the Club being ignorant and the girl for breaking the rules of the club.

chazthegreat
You and "akonistheman" make me want to bang my head against a wall. How does someone who CAN'T READ get on the internet!
chazthegreat
oh stupid me I should have known it would censor me too.
chazthegreat
Oh lol, in your post, "****ault" got censored to "****ault." Last word 1st paragraph
chazthegreat
OMG LOL! I think Akon is the man, and I agree that the incident in the club was not his fault. But first "akonistheman" and then you misread what I write. All I said is that that it made me mad that Akon was lying(read my 1st comment to see why he was lying).
