Lyrics
(Intro)
This a message
Uh
There comes a time in a manās life
When we gotta let go of them little boy habits
And become a man
Listen to me
(Chorus)
Donāt blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be⦠what I thought was a man
Donāt 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
āCause I really thought I was being a man
(Verse)
There comes a time in a manās life
When we gotta wake up and see things different
Iām not the past ācause itās dead and gone
I guess Iāll do it now ācause aināt been living
Wanna give my love to you
If youāll see youāll stick around
But youāre first in my life, baby
Iāve been acting a fool then re-confessed my sins to you
I wanna make this thing right,
Baby donāt blame me
(Chorus)
Donāt blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be⦠what I thought was a man
Donāt 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
āCause I really thought I was being a man
(Verse)
Didnāt take the lead ācause guess I should calm down
Doing dirt with my homies, I aināt round
āCause I realize how much that you mean to my life
When I opened up my eyes
Donāt 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
Donāt blame me!
(Chorus)
Donāt blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be⦠what I thought was a man
Donāt 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
āCause I really thought I was being a man
(Bridge)
I thought I⦠was being⦠a man
But I wasnāt
I was playin in the streets
Do you hear me, yeah?
(Chorus)
Donāt blame me for the things that I did when I was younger
I was only tryna be⦠what I thought was a man
Donāt 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
āCause I really thought I was being a man
