Donell Jones - Don`t Blame Me

[Intro:]

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



[Chorus:]

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 caring about all the things you did for me

Was a man

Or is this 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



[Verse 1:]

There comes a time in a man`s life

When we gotta wake up and see things different

I`m not the past `cause it`s dead and gone

I guess I`ll do it now `cause ain`t been living

Wanna give my love to you

If you`ll see you`ll stick around

But you`re first in my life, baby

I`ve been acting a fool then re-confessed my sins to you

I wanna make this thing right,

Baby don`t blame me



[Chorus:]

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 caring about all the things you did for me

Was a man

Or is this 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


[Verse 2:]

Didn`t take the lead `cause guess I should calm down

Doing dirt with my homies, I ain`t round

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

When I opened up my eyes

Don`t focus on the past, be open to new

This moment we can break through yea

I love you, baby

And I wanna hear you say

You forgive me and we gon be together always

Don`t blame me!



[Chorus:]

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 caring about all the things you did for me

Was a man

Or is this 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



[Bridge:]

I thought I... was being... a man

But I wasn`t

I was playin in the streets

Do you hear me, yeah?



[Chorus:]

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 caring about all the things you did for me

Was a man

Or is this 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
