Music For The people
b-boy Lyrics

This, is for the people I've hurt
I want to apologize to those I've hurt.

I'm sorry
I regret my actions.

This, is for the people I've burned
I want to apologize to those I've hurt badly.

This, is for the people that I have neglected
I want to apologize to those I've ignored.

And this is for my people to know
I want my loved ones to know I'm sorry.

I try 'n try 'n try 'n try 'n try 'n try 'n try to win
I make repeated efforts to succeed.

I fight 'n fight 'n fight 'n fight 'n fight 'n fight again
I persevere even through challenges.

I know, I know I know I know this isn't over
I'm aware that things aren't resolved yet.

Now that I'm here
Now that I understand my mistakes.

I know your worth
I recognize your importance.

Mere words can't force
Words alone can't make up for what I've done.

You to forgive me, no
You may not be able to forgive me.

I remember days when I was still completely blind
There was a time when I didn't understand.

I really thought it would be better if I up and died
I considered suicide as a way out of my problems.

I don't know where I'm going
I'm uncertain of my future.

But I sure know where I've been
I remember my past struggles.

And if you cannot relate I would not have been your friend
If you don't understand me, we wouldn't have been friends.

My parents and my teachers never really seemed to notice
I felt ignored by the important adults in my life.

Instead of school I roamed the streets and thought that it was hopeless
I gave up on school and felt lost.

All by myself alone and wild
I felt alone and out of control.

I cried myself to sleep at night
My emotions were overwhelming.

I never want a child of mine to live
I don't want my child to experience the same struggles as me.

A life of lies
I don't want my child to live a dishonest life.

Now that I'm here
Now that I understand the importance of honesty.

Mere words can't force
I know that apologies alone aren't enough.

You to forgive me, oh no
I understand if you can't forgive me.
