This a message

Uh

There comes a time in a man’s life

When we gotta let go of them little boy habits

And become a man

Listen to me

Don’t blame me for the things that I did when I was younger

I was only tryna be what I thought was a man

Don’t blame me for the things that I did when I was younger

I was only tryna be what I thought was a man

Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me?

Was a man puttin' business before my family?

Was a man

No good examples, always remember what I see

Was a man

'Cause I really thought I was being a man

There comes a time in a man’s life

When we gotta wake up and see things different (Shoo-da-do)

I’m not the past 'cause it’s dead and gone

I could start over now 'cause I ain’t been livin' (Shoo-da-do)

Wanna give my love to you if you say you’ll stick around

But you’re first in my life, baby (Shoo-da-do)

I’ve been actin' a fool, let me confess my sins to you

I wanna make this thing right

Baby, don’t blame me

Don’t blame me for the things that I did when I was younger

No good examples, always remember what I see

Was a man

'Cause I really thought I was being a man

Didn’t take the lead 'cause peer pressure called out

Doin' dirt with my homies, I ain’t proud (Shoo-da-do)

'Cause I realize how much that you mean to my life

When I opened up my eyes, huh (Shoo-da-do)

Don’t focus on the past, be open to new

This moment we can break through yeah, oh (Shoo-da-do)

I love you, baby

And I wanna hear you say

You forgive me and we gon' be together always
