[00:26.08]Forgave me once, forgave me twice, forgave me three times
[00:29.24]I stayed lyin', you stayed down in the meantime
[00:32.34]Had my son and turned around and had another one
[00:35.52]I broke your heart when I told you 'bout the other one
[00:38.60]I stay in trouble ha? Ain't got too much to lose
[00:41.76]Knew I could loose it all but never thought of losin' you
[00:45.13]Eleven years ago I still regret me choosin' you
[00:48.10]Meetin' you, pursuin' you and doin' you in '92
[00:51.47]You fixed plates, showed your face at every courtdate
[00:54.73]And all you wanted me to do was call when I was out late
[00:57.69]How could I let you go? I thought I knew it all
[01:01.04]When you deserved the best and more, you been through it all
[01:04.25]You think I sold you dreams, but what I say I mean
[01:07.66]Just take it to consideration, I was 17
[01:10.72]I'm still the same man, just had a change of plan
[01:13.92]Never ask you back and crumbled wedding band
[01:16.22]But I still love you

[01:39.49]See that my intentions were good
[01:41.62]Shawty I still love you
[01:43.26]Went from resentin' you, hatin' you, now I'm missin' you
[01:46.02]On the realest **** I ever dropped, dissin' pops
[01:49.32]I never even thought, to ask my mom what happened
[01:52.42]Just knew that you was livin' in Manhattan and I was trappin'
[01:55.88]We never had a chance, we was in different states
[01:58.99]But all forgiven, you was human and we make mistakes
[02:02.10]You tried to make it up, but ****, you couldn't pay enough
[02:05.16]You sent me tons of toys and clothes thinkin' you gave enough
[02:08.62]But it wasn't though, and you wasn't there
[02:11.87]That's all I knew, so I grew up thinkin' you ain't care
[02:14.94]I know it wasn't fair, but ay, it wasn't fun
[02:18.14]But now what's done is done, no matter what, I'm still your son
[02:21.50]I could care less if none of your other children come
[02:24.60]I'mma be right there prayin' you live to be a million one
[02:27.96]Finally I understand, hustlin', livin' fast
[02:30.82]Tryin' to get the cash and settle down and be a dad
[02:34.18]You probably never knew, 'cause hey, I never said it
[02:37.43]But pops, I'm just like you, I'm stubborn and I'm hardheaded
[02:40.50]But now you dead in the ground, no meanin' tellin' you now
[02:43.96]But all I wanted was for you to be proud
[02:46.86]I still love you
[02:48.14]Don't hate me shawty
[02:50.15]If I ain't told you lately shawty
[02:52.56]I still love you
[02:54.47]Now I only wish that I could
[02:56.62]See that your intentions were good
[02:58.93]Daddy I still love you
[03:00.99]Don't hate me shawty
[03:03.03]Please don't hate me shawty
[03:05.34]Hey I still love you
[03:07.39]And now I only wish that I could
[03:09.30]See that your intentions were good
[03:11.61]Daddy I still love you
[03:13.19]How could I criticize my daddy on that last verse
[03:16.10]Lookin' at my own dirt, you got some nerve
[03:19.56]But be that as it may, I got some **** to say
[03:22.67]It's been a secret, I can't keep it for another day
[03:25.83]I got a lil girl, not just two lil boys
[03:28.99]And that's been killin' me inside, eatin' me alive
[03:32.04]And I can't find the words, nor the nouns or verbs
[03:35.37]To express what you deserve, girl you worth the world
[03:38.71]But I'm a man and I ain't perfect, if you hear me now
[03:41.92]I'll tell you what had happened, when, why, where and how
[03:45.08]Me and your mama met, we kinda kicked it off
[03:48.23]But we wasn't 'posed to have a baby, we just chillin' out
[03:51.55]We had a lot in common, almost the same signs
[03:54.59]Same goals, said thangs at the same time
[03:57.91]But then we destroyed the situation like the a changed mind
[04:01.11]How could I look her in her eyes and holla "Dat ain't mine"
[04:04.17]Her stomach gettin' bigger, and time is gettin' close
[04:07.65]Six, seven, eight, nine months and I ain't told my folks
[04:10.78]Not just Messiah mama, hell, I had told your granny
[04:14.06]Three kids in two years, baby, daddy panicked
[04:17.38]But I ain't ashamed of you, I'm more ashamed of me
[04:20.43]It's not at all your fault, you'd be better off blamin' me
[04:23.55]But now I realize, where the problem lies
[04:26.75]Forgive me babygirl, I apologize
[04:28.92]And I still love you
[04:31.06]Don't hate me shawty
[04:33.01]Please don't hate me shawty
[04:35.32]'Cause I still love you
[04:37.28]And now I only wish that you could
[04:39.53]See that my intentions were good
[04:41.59]Baby I still love you
[04:43.79]Don't hate me shawty
[04:45.64]Please don't you hate me shawty
[04:48.15]Hey I still love you
[04:50.11]And now I only wish that you could
[04:52.27]See that my intentions were good
[04:54.47]Baby I still love you
