Lyrics

[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 [Pre-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 [Chorus] Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me? Was a man puttin' business 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 (Shoo-da-do) I'm not the past 'cause it's dead and gone I could start over now 'cause I ain't been livin' (Shoo-da-do) Wanna give my love to you if you say you'll stick around But you're first in my life, baby (Shoo-da-do) I've been actin' a fool, let me confess my sins to you I wanna make this thing right Baby, don't blame me [Pre-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 [Chorus] Was a man not carin' about all the things you did for me?
