Blame It On Me Main
akon Lyrics

As life goes on I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility
I am becoming increasingly aware of the impact of my actions on those around me.

I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
I understand that everything I do has an impact on others.

So I want to take this time out to apologize for things I have done
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my past actions.

And things that have not occurred yet
I also apologize for any future actions that may cause harm.

And the things they don't want to take responsibility for
I acknowledge that there may be things that others are unwilling to take responsibility for.

I'm sorry for the times I left you home
I apologize for leaving you home alone at times.

I was on the road and you were alone
I understand that leaving you alone while I was away was not ideal.

I'm sorry for the times that I had to go
I apologize for times when I had to leave.

I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know
I apologize for not being aware of certain things.

That you were sitting home just wishing we
I am sorry that you were at home wishing we could be together.

Could go back to when it was just you and me
I understand that you longed for our past together.

I'm sorry for the times I would neglect
I apologize for neglecting certain things.

I'm sorry for the times I disrespect
I apologize for any disrespectful actions I may have committed.

I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done
I apologize for any wrongdoings that I have committed.

I'm sorry I'm not always there for my sons
I apologize for not always being there for my children.

I'm sorry for the fact that I'm not aware
I apologize for not being aware of certain things.

That you can't sleep at night when I am not there
I understand that you have trouble sleeping when I am not around.

Because I am in the streets like everyday
I understand that my presence on the streets can cause concern.

Sorry for the things that I did not say
I apologize for things that were left unsaid.

Like how you are the best thing in my world
I should have told you that you are the most important thing in my life.

And how I'm so proud to call you my girl
I should have expressed my pride in being your partner.

I understand that there are some problems
I acknowledge that there are certain issues that need to be addressed.

And I am not too blind to know
I am not oblivious to these issues.

All the pain you kept inside you
I understand that you have been holding on to personal pain.

Even though you might not show
I know that you may not express this pain outwardly.

If I can't apologize for being wrong
If I cannot take responsibility for my mistakes,

Then it's just a shame on me
It will be my own fault for not admitting my faults.

I'll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me
I will accept responsibility for causing any emotional pain and blame that follows.

Sorry for the things that he put you through
I apologize for any harm that he caused you.

And all the times you didn't know what to do
I am sorry for any times you felt lost and unsure.

Sorry that you had to go and sell those packs
I apologize that you had to resort to selling drugs to get by.

Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
I understand that you were trying to keep yourself occupied while waiting for your father.

And you would rather be home with all your kids
I know that you would rather be at home with your family.

As one big family with love and bliss
As a united and loving family.

And even though Pops treated us like kids
Despite how our father treated us like children.

He got a second wife and you didn't agree
I know that you did not approve of our father's decision to marry again.

He got up and left you there all alone
Our father abandoned you and caused you to be completely alone.

I'm sorry that you had to do it on your own
I apologize that you had to go through this all by yourself.

I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief
I apologize for contributing to your emotional pain.

I'm sorry that your son was once a thief
I apologize for my past criminal behavior.

I'm sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I could have slowed down and grown up at a more reasonable pace.

I wish I would've listened and not be so bad
I regret not listening to your guidance and being rebellious.

I'm sorry your life turned out this way
I apologize that your life has not turned out the way you wanted it to.

I'm sorry that the FEDS came and took me away
I apologize for the pain and suffering caused by my incarceration.

I'm sorry that it took so long to see
I apologize for not realizing these things sooner.

They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I acknowledge that others placed incorrect blame on me.

I'm sorry that it took so long to speak
I apologize for not speaking up sooner to clear my name.

But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I was busy touring with Gwen Stefani at the time.

I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt
I apologize for the unfortunate circumstances that she experienced.

For the embarrassment that she felt
I am sorry for any embarrassment caused to her.

Just a little young girl trying to have fun
She was just a young girl trying to enjoy herself.

Her daddy should never let her out that young
Her father should not have allowed her to go out at such a young age.

I'm sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I apologize for the closure of Club Zen.

I hope they manage better next time around
I hope that they handle things better in the future.

How was I to know she was underage
I did not know that she was underage at the time.

In a twenty one and older club they say
I believed that she was old enough to be in a twenty one and over club.

Why doesn't anybody wanna take blame
Why is it that nobody wants to take responsibility?

Verizon backed out disgracing my name
Verizon's withdrawal from their deal negatively impacted my reputation.

I'm just a singer trying to entertain
I am simply a musician looking to entertain my fans.

Because I love my fans I'll take that blame
I care about my fans so much that I will accept the blame for certain things.

Even though the blame's on you
Even though the fault may not lie with me.

I'll take that blame from you
I am willing to accept blame that may not be rightfully mine.
