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