I'm Sorry
Mr. Lil One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, between me and you
sorry, sorry, we all got a lot to deal with
but you're the only one we gotta keep it real with
[Verse 1]
Dear god, forgive me for my sins, i've been trippin
I made promises to you about my drinkin
Sometimes I feel like my world is slowly sinkin
I need a bottle to relax me and calm me
All that bottle ever did was really harm me
But should I call me, I'm speakin hypocritical
I got alcohol in me and gettin lyrical
I feel you in my presence on a daily
And I'm grateful that you gave me healthy babies
But not to shy away, I'm hurtin for a reason
I apologize, I'm sorry for the teasin
And I pray you don't forget me and protect me
I don't blame me if you don't like or respect me
But you know me like nobody else
Please forgive me, don't leave me by myself
[Chorus 2x]
Sorry for the mishaps, I never meant to fail you
There's another million things I want to tell you
Keep me strong through my rights and my wrongs
Thank you for my kids, my life and my songs
[Verse 2]
I remember a couple months back, how I pleaded to you
I remember every word and I'll repeat it to you
Get me outta this, I'm in a jail cell
And if I let you down, send my soul to hell
Well I did, and I deserve for you to leave me
I'm speakin on the truth, and I hope that you believe me
Pleaded for my freedom, I put that on this earth
Don't want to miss my little baby girl's birth
And you let me walk away and kept me happy
And kept the faith that nothing would distract me
Keep my word, do whatever not to break it
Keep it real right? I'd never thought I'd fake it
Not with you, but I did, I feel broken
Will you accept me with your arms wide open?
I hope you feel my pain and my repent
I hope you get this little message that I sent
[Chorus 2x]
Sorry for the mishaps, I never meant to fail you
There's another million things I want to tell you
Keep me strong through my rights and my wrongs
Thank you for my kids, my life and my songs
[Mr. Lil One Talking]
Yeah man, you make a pact with god, then you make a pact with god
Make a promise, don't break it man
He's the man, he's the king, he's our father
And that needs to be respected, I'm ashamed
And I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
The song "I'm Sorry" by Mr. Lil One opens with the artist acknowledging the difficulties and challenges that people face in their everyday lives, but emphasizes that the only person one should be truthful with and accountable to is oneself. The first verse is a confession where the artist talks directly to God, asking for forgiveness and repentance for his sins, particularly in relation to his drinking problems and the negative impact it has had on his family. He is acutely aware of how alcohol has harmed him and yet he still drinks, and he is critical of his own hypocritical behavior. The artist's admittance of fault is heartfelt and vulnerable, as he talks about his feeling of being lost in the world and his need for something to help him cope with the stress.
The second verse is a continuation of this ongoing confession, in which the artist reflects on his previous encounters with God. He recounts his experience of being in prison and how he begged God for his freedom. He acknowledges that he has often made promises to God but has failed to keep them. The artist notes that while he deeply appreciates God's protection of him and his family, he still struggles to keep up his commitments, and he's not sure if he's deserving of God's love and kindness. The chorus is a plea for forgiveness and an acknowledgement that the artist is profoundly grateful for his life, his family and God's protection.

Nunca he tenido coche, casa, esposa e hijos ...
Nunca he tenido nada más que pobreza, dolor, y sufrimiento.
Sin embargo, te agradezco por las sabidurías, los pequeños milagros, las hermosas experiencias que me diste la oportunidad de tener a lo largo de mi humilde -si no miserable
-existencia, dones espirituales, una conexión única y profunda contigo personalmente y el reino divino y sus seres, y la oportunidad de luchar de tu lado en tu honor y por el bien de las almas ...
I have never had a car, a house, a wife and children ...
I have never had anything but poverty, pain, and suffering.
However, I thank you for the wisdoms, the little miracles, the beautiful experiences that you gave me the opportunity to have throughout my humble -if not miserable -existence, spiritual gifts, a unique and deep connection with you personally and the divine realm and its beings, and the opportunity to fight on your side in your honor and for the good of souls ...

Lil Uno always speaks the truth. Who else has said it the way he has? It's what we all feel but some don't have the guts to say it. And if you're getn mad.. don't get mad.. one day you'll understand.
