Don't Blame Me Songtext

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

()
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
Was a man
Not caring about all the things you did for me
Was a man
Or is this 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

There comes a time in a man's life
When we gotta wake up and see things different
I'm not the past ‘cause it's dead and gone
I guess I'll do it now ‘cause ain't been living
Wanna give my love to you
If you'll see you'll stick around
But you're first in my life, baby
I've been acting a fool then re-confessed my sins to you
I wanna make this thing right,
Baby don't blame me

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
Was a man
Not caring about all the things you did for me
Was a man
Or is this 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

()
Didn't take the lead ‘cause guess I should calm down
Doing dirt with my homies, I ain't round
‘Cause I realize how much that you mean to my life
When I opened up my eyes
Don't focus on the past, be open to new
This moment we can break through yea
I love you, baby
And I wanna hear you say
You forgive me and we gon be together always
Don't blame me!

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
Was a man
Not caring about all the things you did for me
Was a man
Or is this 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
I was playin in the streets
Do you hear me, yeah?

Don't blame me for the things that I did when I was younger

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

Not caring about all the things you did for me
