And you still found a way to hug me (yes you did, lord)
Layin' your hands on me, cryin', callin' out to God (oh my)

If it wasn't bad luck, it'd be no luck for R. (no luck for R.)

Cursin' you out, arguein' in public, 
Drinkin', drunk drivin' (mmm)

Givin' you them lame excuses just to get, out of the house (mm-mm-mm)
And I apologise for all of those times that I made you cry (yeah)
Like when you busted me up north with that girl and still took me back (oh yeah)
I could never forget that, all the pain and drama I caused you
Just never forget that every day and night I used to all you (call you, yeah)
We were best friends, we put our chips all in (oh)
We bet we'd never be separated by no men (no men)
What I feel, you feel, what I go through, you go through (you go through)
That's why I have no right to hurt you (hurt you)
And even when I was goin' through all that bullshit in the media (mm)

(The apologies of a thug)
Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you (oh, to you, I'm sorry)

Now I'm sorry for all of the times that I didn't take you out (mm)
Walk the park, holdin' hands or family cook outs (oh)
We were headed same direction 'til I chose my own route (yeah)
When knowin' my life's a dead end without ya, no doubt (mm-hm)
I want to be that man inside for you that's so great (oh yeah)
Now I may not go to church every Sunday but I always pray (oh-oh)
'Cause in the midst of this fame my life is like a buffet (yeah)
Quick to drink, quick to smoke, quick to fornicate (quick to fornicate, ooh)
But you don' been beside me just like my shadow (ooh)
Playin' warriors standin' on the front line ready to fight battles (ooh)
I cannot ask for more in a woman (oh-oh)
What I need to do is pour back into my woman from now on (oh girl)
I'm sorry
