K-Rino - I Apologize lyrics
[K-Rino - I Apologize lyrics]
I made some comments recently that
Caused grief to certain
People once they reached across
Social media frequency
They informed me that my
Statements lacked decency
Now I’m knee deep with elite powerful
People seeking to beef with me
And even though my research
Was extensive and I
Knew that I was saying something true
I heard that you found it offensive
You cut checks that got me living fat
My major platform, you had given that
And I guess when I spoke
I didn’t consider that
You afforded me the key to let
Me enter in the doors
But while lamenting my oppression
I was insensitive to yours
I was feeling the impact of a tragedy
And actually I knew that I was in
Trouble the first second you contacted me
So I apologize
I’ve never been involved with hating
I’ve made blatant statements referencing
The synagogue of satan
I apologize, I guess I made waves
When I mentioned everyone who played a
Role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade
I know now that was a iffy move
But there was a whole bevy of hidden history
That my people hadn’t been privy to
Now it’s causing me to lose my livelihood
See I probably could have saved my
Job if I hadn’t spoken, exposed Hollywood
They told me come and make peace
I got a thousand and eight Tweets accusing
Me of flagrant racist hate speech
They won’t tolerate or condone evil
They won’t leave you
I even got a strong upheaval from
Some of my own people
What about the facts that I sent to you
Didn’t know that that picture I posted of
Me and Minister Farrakhan offended you
You told me to take it down
And keep walking the line
'If you speak your mind minus all
That black talk you’ll be fine'
So I reflected
And I realized that too often at times
That you really think your history’s
More important than mine
But despite that, I’m standing before you
Showing remorse
Even though you’re out here claiming a
Name that was never yours
Financially backing wars, yeah
The list is extensive
I just wanna understand how
My abuse is offensive
I’m only tryna be smart and
Let the knowledge be taught uh oh, my bad
Let me get back to this apology part
See when I took the knee
I spoke on the injustice I’ve seen
Who knew I’d lose my record deal or
I’d get cut from the team?
Isn’t it safe to say those
Ways are kinda like? If you tell me I’m not
Able to critique your behavior
This situation’s been hectic
And it’s left me dejected
But this ain’t the type of
Apology you probably expected
Me bowing down to you was only a rumor
So yeah, i apologize for not riding on
Y’all sheisty ass sooner
Caused grief to certain
People once they reached across
Social media frequency
They informed me that my
Statements lacked decency
Now I’m knee deep with elite powerful
People seeking to beef with me
