| Don’t hate me shawty
|
| But even if you hate me shawty
|
| I still love you
|
| And now I only wish that you could
|
| See that my intentions were good
|
| I still love you
|
| Forgave me once, forgave me twice, forgave me three times
|
| I stayed lyin', you stayed down in the meantime
|
| Had my son and turned around and had another one
|
| I broke yo heart when I told you bout the other one
|
| I stay in trouble ha? |
| Ain’t got too much to lose
|
| Knew I could loose it all but never thought of losin' you
|
| Eleven years ago I still regret me choosin' you
|
| Meetin' you, pursuin' you and doin' you in '92
|
| You fixed plates, showed yo face at every courtdate
|
| And all you wanted me to do was call when I was out late
|
| How could I let you go? |
| I thought I knew it all
|
| When you deserved the best and more, you been through it all
|
| You think I sold yo dreams, but what I say I mean
|
| Just take it to consideration, I was 17
|
| I’m still the same man, just had a change of plan
|
| Never ask you back and fuck a wedding band
|
| But I still love you
|
| Repeat Chorus 1 w/ ad libs
|
| Went from resentin' you, hatin' you, now I’m missin' you
|
| On the realest shit I ever dropped, dissin' pops
|
| I never even thought, to ask my mom what happened
|
| Just knew that you was livin' in Manhattan and I was trappin'
|
| We never had a chance, we was in different states
|
| But all forgiven, you was human and we make mistakes
|
| You tried to make it up, but shit, you couldn’t pay enough
|
| You sent me tons of toys and clothes thinkin' you gave enough
|
| But it wasn’t though, and you wasn’t there
|
| That’s all I knew, so I grew up thinkin' you ain’t care
|
| I know it wasn’t fair, but ay, it wasn’t fun
|
| But now what’s done is done, no matter wha, I’m still yo son
|
| I could care less if none of yo other children come
|
| I’mma be right there prayin' you live to be a million one
|
| Finally I understand, hustlin', livin' fast
|
| Tryin' to get the cash and settle down and be a dad
|
| You probably never knew, cuz hey, I never said it
|
| But pops, I’m just like you, I’m stubborn and I’m hardheaded
|
| But now you dead in the ground, no meanin' tellin' you now
|
| But all I wanted was for you to be proud
|
| I still love you
|
| Don’t hate me shawty
|
| If I ain’t told you lately shawty
|
| I still love you
|
| Now I only wish that I could
|
| See that yo intentions were good
|
| I still love you
|
| Don’t hate me shawty
|
| Please don’t hate me shawty
|
| Ay, I still love you
|
| And now I only wish that I could
|
| See that yo intentions were good
|
| (Watch yo boy, shawty)
|
| How could I criticize my daddy on that last verse
|
| Lookin' at my own dirt, you got some nerve
|
| But be that as it may, I got some shit to say
|
| It’s been a secret, I can’t keep it for another day
|
| I got a lil' girl, not just two lil' boys
|
| And that’s been killin' me inside, eatin' me alive
|
| And I can’t find the words, nor the nouns or verbs
|
| To express whachu deserve, girl you worth the world
|
| But I’m a man and I ain’t perfect, if you hear me now
|
| I’ll tell you wha had happened, when, why, where and how
|
| Me and yo mama met, we kinda kicked it off
|
| But we wasn’t 'posed to have a baby, we just chillin' out
|
| We had a lot in common, almost the same signs
|
| Same goals, said thangs at the same time
|
| But then we destroyed the situation like the a changed mind
|
| How could I look her in her eyes and holla «Dat ain’t mine»
|
| Her stomach gettin' bigger, and time is gettin' close
|
| Six, seven, eight, nine months and I ain’t told mah folks
|
| Not just messiah mama, hell, I had told yo granny
|
| Three kids in two years, baby, daddy panicked
|
| But I ain’t ashamed of you, I’m more ashamed of me
|
| It’s not at all yo fault, you’d be better off blamin' me
|
| But now I realize, where the problem lies
|
| Forgive me babygirl, I apologize
|
| And I still love you
|
| Don’t hate me shawty
|
| Please don’t hate me shawty
|
| Cuz I still love you
|
| Now I only wish that you could
|
| See that my intentions were good |
