Confessions
Usher ft. Shyne Kanye West & Twista Lyrics

Hey
Greeting

Hey,whats up
Asking how the person is

Is that you?
Confirming the identity of the person on the phone

Yeah,listen
Agreeing to hear what the other person has to say

Baby I know we said it's best we don't talk no more
Acknowledging that they agreed to stop talking

But, I gotta Get it off my chest about all Shit I've been hearing babe
Feeling the need to express their opinions

I (I) thought you was that ride or die you would neva leave my side
Thinking that the other person would always be there for them

I really made you out to be the woman that I would be with for life
Believing that they were meant to be together forever

I tooked in your kids, Did everything that you wanted me to
Helping to take care of the other person's children and fulfilling their needs

Now I see you frontin on radio interviews
Hearing the other person talk about them negatively on public platforms

Do It make you feel good to lie even though I know you wanna cry
Asking if it makes the other person feel better to lie about their relationship even though it hurts them

Hey if you were gonna tell them You should of told them everything, Instead of Makein me the bad guy
Believing that if the other person wanted to tell the truth, they should tell everything instead of making them look bad

If you got nothing good to say then don't, say nothin
Advising the other person to not say anything if they have nothing good to say

'Cause if I really start talkin it will be somthin,
Warning the other person that if they start sharing the truth, it will be serious

So you cheated, I cheated so be it,we need to Leave it alone, Move on
Accepting that both parties were unfaithful, and they should leave it in the past and move forward

{You got real shit}
End of phone call

Hello, you have a collect call from the Clinton correctional facility,
Receiving a call from prison

Will you accept the charges.
Asking if the person wants to accept the call

Yes, I'll accept it, whats up?
Accepting the call and asking what the other person wants to say

Sittin in my cell, HEAD ABOUT TO BURST
Feeling overwhelmed and anxious

Wouldnt be alive if I didn't shoot first
Justifying their actions of using violence to protect themselves

Had it made, sorry for the ricochet
Regretting that others were affected by the consequences of their own actions

But I'll be in da grave if I didn't let it spray
Believing that they would have died if they hadn't defended themselves

I never said that I was perfect
Admitting that they are not infallible

Nobody walkin on this earth is
Believing that no one is flawless

That night, I would've gotten murdered
Recalling a dangerous situation that they faced

If I ain't grab the ratchet and let them cowards have it
Asserting that they had to fight back against their attackers

Uh, listen up listen up listen up world
Attention-grabbing introduction to the song

Listen up listen up listen up world, uh, I gotta confess
Announcing that they have something to reveal

This the hottest remix I ever did in my life so so def
Boasting about the song they created

These are my confessions
Title of the song, indicating they are confessing something

Just when I thought I said all I can say
Previously admitting to something

My chick on the side, said she got one on the way {Way}
Finding out that someone they had been seeing was pregnant

Man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure

I guess I gotta keep part 2 of my confessions
Continuing to confess, admitting that this is not the end

If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all, (all yeah, yeah)
Admitting that they need to share everything, not just parts of their confession

Damn near cried when I got that phone call (call)
Feeling emotional and shaken by the news they received

If you got something to confess to right now step to the mic Twista
Giving Twista a chance to confess something

I confess about the incident when I was with a shorty in the Lexus coupe
Admitting to a previous situation involving another person

Ya homie said she saw me but she didn't have proof
Claiming that they were not caught doing anything wrong

But I knew I really should've just been tellin' you the truth (uh, oh)
Admitting that they should have been honest instead of keeping secrets

And I confess about the days I was rollin' my Seville with the custom gold grill
Acknowledging a time when they were showing off their wealth

I was in the field still lookin' for a thrill
Searching for excitement and stimulation in their life

And I knew it was bogus I should've kept it real
Realizing that they were being fake instead of honest

And I confess that, just when I thought I could really try to get away
Admitting to trying to escape their problems

While havin other women on the side
Being unfaithful to their partner

But I never knew that it would catch up wit' a nigga one day
Realizing that their actions would eventually have consequences

You gotta hear me girl, I done learned a lesson'
Learning from their mistakes and wanting to communicate with their partner

If you stay with me then it'll be a blessin', no stressing
Promising their partner that things will be better if they stay together

'Cause I'm pouring out my heart and these are my confessions
Being honest and vulnerable with their partner

Yeah Kanye To tha College Dropout
Acknowledging Kanye West, who was a recent success with his album College Dropout

Damn, how does she bring it up how does she break it down
Recounting a conversation with someone who revealed a difficult truth

Man you at the clinic, dawg slow down that's yo child
Finding out that they are the father of a child being born

But if you keep it, then you gotta tell your girl you was cheatin
Accepting responsibility for cheating and realizing that they must tell their partner

And you went raw dog when you beat it
Not using protection during sexual activities

That's when she gon' tell you to beat it
Expecting their partner to leave them once they find out

You know it ain't y'all little secret
Realizing that their secret has become public

You famous you can't go nowhere 'cause everytime you go there
Recognizing that they are now known and sought after by fans

There's hoes there so basiclly you and your girl over
Realizing that their relationship is over because there are too many temptations

I know when she broke the news you told her "man don't say that"
Recalling a past conversation where they tried to prevent the truth from being revealed

Matter fact like Pat don't say,matter fact dont say jack,
Advising others to not say anything about their personal life

Everytime a nigga sittin on paystacks
Being wealthy and famous

Things come up from way way way back way back way back way way back
Realizing that their actions have consequences and repercussions from the past

I guess I gotta give part 2 of my confessions
Continuing to confess their sins and faults
