Apologize
Bun B Feat. Lil Wayne Lyrics

I'm holdin' on a rope
I'm struggling to hold on.

Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm at a loss and my feet are not on solid ground.

And I'm hearin' what your sayin'
I understand your words.

But I just can't make a sound
I can't express myself effectively.

You tell me that you need me
You confess you need my presence.

Then you go and cut me down, but wait
When I counted on you, you let me down.

Tell me that you're sorry
Apologize for your past mistakes.

Didn't think I'd turn around
You didn't expect me to forgive you.

OK, I'm talkin' about a
Let me begin with a topic.

Good Girl Gone Bad
Someone once innocent and naive turned into someone completely opposite.

Crooked World, wrong path
The world is not always fair and can take you down the wrong road.

Right Mom, wrong dad
It's a situation where one parent is doing the right thing, but the other one isn't.

I sing this song mad but not mad enough to shoot you
I express my frustration through music, but I wouldn't hurt you physically.

But it just eats me up like some bbq from Luther's
It's bothering me a lot, just like the restaurant's barbecue that I love.

In the morning with the boosters
With my crew in the morning.

On the corner with the boosters
We hang around on the street corner with our friends.

And she's the fresh cut and they're on her like sutures
She attracts a lot of attention, and everyone wants to be around her.

And I wanna talk to her
I wish to communicate with her.

But her momma has to school her
Her mother is strict and controlling.

I wanna see her better
I want her to improve and be successful.

She's the weather of my future
She determines how my future will turn out.

I don't wanna see another hurricane
I don't want another disaster to happen.

Baby you can kill the pain
You can relieve me of this agony.

If you just let me explain
If you give me a chance to speak my mind.

Trust me I know what I'm sayin'
I'm speaking the truth.

You will end up on the track of an oncoming train
You're in danger and headed for disaster.

Stuck in the passenger seat
You're just an observer in your own life.

Trying do the fast lane
You're trying to get ahead quickly but not necessarily in the right direction.

Well once upon a time there was a mom and a dad
Let me tell you a story about a family.

Who on the outside had everything people wished they had
At a glance, their life looked perfect and enviable.

A beautiful daughter two story house two car garage
Their daughter was beautiful, and they had a big, fancy house with a garage for two cars.

And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard
The front yard was surrounded by a classic white picket fence.

See daddy was a doctor
The father was a physician.

And mommy was a banker
The mother had a job in finance.

Mommy's job got outsourced
The mother's job was given to someone in another country.

So now mommy's drinker
As a result, the mother is now an alcoholic.

Daddy had a malpractice suit
The father is facing a lawsuit for medical malpractice.

Now he's a snorter
As a consequence, the father is now abusing drugs.

And all this shits takin' place
All of these things are happening.

Right in front of their daughter
Their daughter is witnessing all of this.

She says, 'Daddy what's wrong?'
The daughter asks her father what is troubling him.

But he's just too high
The father is too intoxicated to respond.

'Mommy what we gon' do?'
The daughter asks her mother what they should do.

She just get drunk and cry
The mother responds by getting intoxicated and crying.

Caught in the middle of two wrongs trying to do right
The daughter is stuck in between two bad situations and still tries to do the correct thing.

Looking for answers alone in the darkness of night
Trying to find a solution alone in a dark and lonely place.

You say that it's too late to apologize
You believe that forgiving you is no longer an option.

It's too late
Time has run out for reconciliation.

I said it's too late to apologize
I agree with you that it's too late to say sorry.
