"Apology"

(Eric Bellinger / Darhyl "DJ" Camper Jr. / Devin Montgomery / Shaffer Smith)

Oh, oh, oh, woah
To all the girls I've loved before
I, I
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo)

I cannot deny it, I cannot deny it (yeah)
I done broke a few hearts (yeah), done my share of lying
I knew how to keep it quiet, I knew how to hide it
Or if I ever did get caught, I'd just deny it
If my mama knew the thangs I did, she wouldn't like it (yeah)
She taught me way better (yeah), I know I knew way better (yeah)
I just didn't care, running round doing whatever
With 3 of they best friends, knew 'em all together

Man, I ain't give a damn, damn
A lot of women had to deal with a boy
That was supposed to be a man, hey
So to the ones I hurt, becoming who I am

I'm sorry, I'm sorry (mm)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (mm)
For every single tear that fell to get me here
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (mm)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (mm)
I'm so sorry, so sorry (mm, yeah)
For every heart that I broke to get better
Hey, this is my apology letter, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, woah

Sorry to that one sexy model chick
One I used to pop bottles with
One I hit the top with
I know I did you wrong
Girl, I know I did you wrong
Can't forget about the one I hit the movies with
One I'm rocking my Louis with
One that did all that freaky shit
Girl, when you play this song
Just say that you'll sing along

Thinking to myself damn, damn
Had to put up with the drama of a boy
That was supposed to be a man, man, oh I
So to the ones I hurt becoming who I am

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, I said I would call no one that I wouldn't call (wouldn't call)
I said it was all good, it wasn't good at all
I said I was coming through and never came through (never came through, no)
I said it was me and you and it was quite a few
All of the lies (ayy), all the tears that you've cried (ayy)
If I could go back in time (ayy), then I would undo the crime
But I can't, no, I can't make it right
But at the very least I can go and apologize

Well I'm sorry, sorry (mm)
I'm sorry, sorry (mm)
I'm sorry, yeah, sorry

I'm sorry, sorry
But I appreciate you, I'm sorry
Couldn't be who I am today if not for what you did, sorry, I'm sorry
Not for what you went through
So from the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry
Thank you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Sorry, yeah, I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, yeah
