Sorry
A.B. Original Lyrics

I might get psalms 82:6 tatted on me
I am considering getting a tattoo of Psalms 82:6, which states that we are all gods, to remind myself of my own worth.

Hope my siblings can feel it
I hope that my family can also embrace this message of empowerment.

That way the next time they ask me who we think we are
If anyone questions our worth, I can point to this scripture as evidence of our divinity.

I can tell em it's written in scriptures
This will give me confidence to defend my self-worth and prove its validity based on religious text.

Oh my lord
This is an exclamation of shock or disbelief in response to the next line.

They shot up everything I believed in, now it's holy war
I have been deeply hurt by those who have attacked the things I hold dear, and I am now fighting for what I believe in with everything I have.

More callus than in my younger years
I have become hardened and more immune to emotional pain as I have grown older.

But just as gullible when it comes to my love and views
Despite being more emotionally tough, I still remain open and vulnerable when it comes to sharing my love and beliefs.

That's why loving you was so needed
My ability to express love and connect with others is important, and that's why you are so valuable to me.

Cause now I see that that part of love will be over with
I recognize that love can be fleeting and that we may not have the same level of closeness and intimacy forever.

I can't think about the future till its over with
I'm focused on living in the moment and not stressing about what the future may or may not bring.

Thinking bout the verses I wrote for my sons
I'm considering the messages and wisdom I want to impart on my children through my music.

And how little I had to give if shorty rolled through with one
I recognize that I may not have had a lot to offer as a young father, but I did the best with what I had.

I know I can lose yall when I'm rhyming bout what I go through and, bruh, I get it
I understand that my children may not always relate to or appreciate the stories and struggles that I express in my music.

You cant feel it until you go through it: I'm Don
My experiences and struggles have shaped me into the person that I am, and that's why I go by the name Don.

Forgive me not for who I am
I'm not asking for forgiveness for being true to myself and standing up for what I believe in.

Cause I'm not sorry, at all
I'm unapologetic for being myself and for fighting for what I believe in.

Y'all just started dawg
My critics and detractors are just getting started, but I'm not backing down.

They really aint a match
Those who oppose me are no match for my strength and resilience.

Maybe that's why when I clock in, they all try callin it off
My detractors are intimidated by me and try to avoid confrontation or competition.

The truer I kept it to myself, the harder it's talkin to frauds
The more I stay true to myself and my values, the more difficult it becomes to interact with people who are not genuine.

It's just unusual
My demeanor and approach may be different from what people are used to seeing in the industry.

Can't respect the disrespected
I cannot honor or show respect to those who do not honor or respect me.

Cause you give me more control of you than you do
My detractors give me power and influence over them by opposing me and reacting to my message.

I'm not new dudes or your old one
I am not like other rappers, both those who are new and those who came before me.

Just to keep my good eye open is why you owe Don
My vigilance and ability to see through people's facade is what makes them indebted to me.

By now, you know son
My reputation precedes me and people know what I'm about.

I'm not the one the scene wanna write with
Other artists may not want to work with me due to my strong opinions and refusal to compromise my values.

Not with Royce rockin a four finger ring of my likeness
Even top-tier rappers like Royce da 5'9'' wouldn't necessarily want to be associated with me or my message.

I put a rhyme scheme in vice grip
My style of rap is tight and controlled, with every word carefully chosen and deliberate.

I don't see how I'm being devicive
I don't believe that my message is divisive or harmful, despite what some people may claim.

When my wins in anything was decisive
I have been successful and proven myself in various arenas, making it clear that I am a force to be reckoned with.

The kingpin of writing
I am a master at writing and crafting compelling lyrics.

Still ride with a team who be seathing to bite into beef when invited
I still have a loyal team of supporters who will defend me and stand up against anyone who tries to attack me or my message.

To free the steam, we delighted
It's cathartic and empowering to express our anger and frustration through our music.

We go to where wolfin at cause that speak aint to likin
We speak out against injustices and hypocritical behavior, even if it's not what people want to hear.

I'm being polite when I say I'd destroy you
I'm holding back and being diplomatic when I say that I could defeat my opponents.

Seeing I write with beings who write me and I'm like this
My collaborators and supporters feed off of my energy and passion, and this inspires me to keep writing and creating.

Known by the iron. You can get leaned with my mic fist
My skills and reputation as a rapper are well-known, and I can knock out opponents with just my words and rhymes.

But it's not in character for me to bite shit
I won't stoop to the level of copying or stealing from other artists.

I might take an ear with me
I'm not opposed to getting violent if necessary, but I won't compromise my values or principles.

I'm feared pretty severally, but revered by the peers
Other people may be afraid of me, but my fellow rappers respect me and my talent.

Plenty Henney get spilled in memory of
We drink to honor those who have died or suffered due to the injustices and inequality we are fighting against.

Tears enter these eyes when I mention it
I am deeply emotional and passionate about this cause, and it brings me to tears when I think about it too much.

So I don't wanna hear niggas opinions on who's the illest lyricist
I don't care about other people's opinions on who is the best rapper, because I know my own worth and value.

Apparent imputance with a severe lack of fellin given listening
Other people may perceive me as arrogant or unfeeling, but this is only because they don't understand or empathize with my message.

Calling it toxic masculinity when it's literally just the absence of it
Some people may call my behavior or message toxic masculinity, but in reality it's just a rejection of toxic masculinity and a push for equality and empowerment for all people.

Skip the rap discussions that aint mention me
Don't bother talking to me about rap or hip-hop if you're not going to acknowledge my contributions and talent.

Thinking they can scare me
My opponents may think they can intimidate or scare me, but they're wrong.

We don't want em back for that endless cycle, peddling, when they stationary
We don't want people who are stuck in a meaningless and stagnant cycle of behavior or thought to come back and try to derail our progress.

Being unapologetic why they probably mad
My refusal to back down or apologize for who I am and what I stand for may anger some people.

Targets on me, as I evolved, like a Polywraith
As I have grown and evolved as an artist and person, I have become a bigger target for those who oppose me.

If you test me, it'll just be a flat line on a polygraph
I am so confident in myself and my message that I am willing to take any test or challenge to prove my authenticity.

I dead the liars
I will not tolerate lies or deceit, and I will call out anyone who tries to deceive me or others.

In the face of all the fronting, still standing in clear defiance
Even in the face of opposition, I stand strong and unapologetic, refusing to back down or compromise my values.

Thankful I'm finally taking off since
I am grateful for the success and recognition that I am finally receiving after years of hard work and dedication.

I been this great and they just hated on it
I have always had great talent and ability, but others have tried to hold me back or belittle my accomplishments.

I've been patient, way too long and
I have waited for too long to finally receive the recognition and respect that I deserve.

Now, I'm taking all the flowers I was waiting on and
I am finally accepting and enjoying the rewards and accolades that I have earned through my hard work and perseverance.

Violating everything recorded
I am breaking rules and conventions in order to express my message and push for change.

Don my name, regardless
I am proud and unapologetic of who I am and what I represent, and I will continue to do so no matter what others may say or think.

I'm not sorry, at all. I'm not sorry, at all
I am completely unapologetic for being myself and fighting for what I believe in, and I will not back down or compromise my values for anyone.

Nah, im not sorry, at all. I'm not sorry: I'm Don
I am not sorry for anything, and I am proud of who I am and what I represent as the rapper known as Don.
