Donell Jones - Don't Blame Me lyrics

This a message uh
There comes a time in a man's life
When we gotta let go of
Them little boy habit's 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 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

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

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 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

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

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 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

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)

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 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
