Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you

Yeah

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you

Baby

I'm sorry for all the times that I hurt you

Lied, cheated on you

Left, commited every crime except for murder (oh)

But you still didn't judge me

Infact you found a way to love me (yes)

Sometimes I really messed up and you still found a way to hug me

(yes you did, lord)

Layin' your hands on me, cryin', callin' out to God (oh my)

I want up out these streets but ma, it's so hard (oh yes it is)

I'm so scarred, my monster is so large

If it wasn't bad luck, it'd be no luck for R. (no luck for R.)

And I'm sorry baby, for bein' so connivin' (yeah)

Cursin' you out, arguein' in public, drinkin', drunk drivin'

(mmm)

Girl I need you to believe that I... can make it better (make it

better)

I'm in the belly of the beast but still believe in a change of

weather (change of weather)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you (ohh, I'm

sorry)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you (oh

yeah, babe)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you (said I'm

so, so, so sorry)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you (ohh

yeah, mmm)

I'm sorry baby for stormin' out of the house

Givin' you them lame excuses just to get, out of the house

(mmm-mmm-mmm)

And I apologise for all of those times that I made you cry

(yeah)

Like when you busted me up north with that girl and still took

me back (oh yeah)

I could never forget that, all the pain and drama I caused you

Just never forget that every day and night I used to all you

(call you, yeah)

We were best friends, we put our chips all in (ohh)

We bet we'd never be separated by no men (no men)

What I feel, you feel, what I go through, you go through (you go

through)

That's why I have no right to hurt you (hurt you)

And even when I was goin' through all that bullshit in the media

(mmm)

Girl it was you who made it easier, which is why I write this

piece to ya (ohh)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you (said I'm

so sorry baby)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you (oh

yeah, yeah)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you (so, so,

so sorry)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you (ohh,

to you, I'm sorry)

Now I'm sorry for all of the times that I didn't take you out

(mmm)

Walk the park, holdin' hands or family cook outs (ohh)

We were headed same direction 'til I chose my own route (yeah)

When knowin' my life's a dead end without ya, no doubt (mmm-hmm)

I wanna be that man inside for you that's so great (oh yeah)

Now I may not go to church every Sunday but I always pray

(ohh-ohh)

'Cause in the midst of this fame my life is like a buffet (yeah)

Quick to drink, quick to smoke, quick to fornicate (quick to

fornicate, ooh)

But you don' been beside me just like my shadow (ooh)

Playin' warriors standin' on the front line ready to fight

battles (ooh)

I cannot ask for more in a woman (oh-oh)

What I need to do is pour back into my woman from now on (oh

girl)

I'm sorry

Said I'm sorry for everything (ohh, sorry) that I ever done to

you (all the things I've done to you)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain (oh yeah) that I ever brung to

you (all of the pain I've caused you)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you (whoa, I'm

sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain (yes I am) that I ever brung to

you (brung to you)

Baby I apologise

Never meant to make you cry

Can you find it in your heart

Somewhere girl to take me back

Said I'm sorry for everything (oh yeah) that I ever done to you

(said I'm sorry)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain (oh) that I ever brung to you

(oh you just let me back in...)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you (I'll

never ever break your heart oh)

(The apologies of a thug)

Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you (I'll

never, never ever break your heart oh)

Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
