Akon - “Sorry, Blame it on Me” Lyrics

Akon has released his apology song called “Sorry, Blame it on Me” in response to the suggestive video of him dancing with an underage fan during one of his concerts in Trinidad.

He publicly apologizes to his tourmate, Gwen Stefani, who lost Verizon as a sponsor because of this incident. No release date has been set for the the song but you can download the Akon’s “Sorry, Blame it on Me” MP3. Check out the lyrics below!

AKON - “SORRY, BLAME IT ON ME”

As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out and apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility for

I’m sorry for the times I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I’m sorry for the times that I had to go
I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I’m sorry for the times I would neglect
I’m sorry for the times I disrespect

I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done
I’m sorry I’m not always there for my son
I’m sorry for the fact that I am not aware
That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there
Because I am in the streets like everyday
Sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I am so proud to call you my girl

(Bridge)
I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me

Chorus
You can put the blame on me (4x)
Said you can put the blame on me (3x)
You can put the blame on me

Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those packs
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
And you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings

He got a second wife and you didn’t agree
He got up and left you there all alone
I’m sorry that you had to do it on your own
I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief
I’m sorry that your son was once a thief
I’m sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would’ve listened and not be so bad
I’m sorry your life turned out this way
I’m sorry the FEDS came and took me away

(Bridge)

I’m sorry that it took so long to see
They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt

Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
Enter 21 you know the club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you (3x)
I’ll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me (2x)
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

wow, first he releases don’t matter, and then everyones like “AKON YOUR THE BEST” and now, just cause of a little mistake, everyone brings hatred on him, very grateful isn’t it? i forgive him for what he did, as long as he knew his mistakes, everyone makes them, he’s still my HEROOOO :D

”I AM SORRY” IS THIS WHAT AKON SAY???
R U KIDDING ME????? ARE U CRAZY? THIS GIRL IS A POOR SMALL KID AND IF YOU SEE THE VIDEO THAT WHEN AKON DANCES WITH HER SHE SHOUTS AND SCREAMS!! THIS IS SO STUPID AND NOW THAT GIRL IS SO EMBARESSED! IF I WAS HER I WOULD REALLY FREAK OUT

when akon is saying “the blame is on you” and “they were dead wrong trying to blame it on me” he is trying to say that the parties involved were probably more responsible than he was, such as Verizon, Club Zen, the 14 year old girl, and the girl’s father. What gave these haters the idea that he is placing the blame on his fans? We are only spectators in this fiasco. Everyone has to lighten up. If you want to try and fix society through your blogs, then leave akon alone and start talking about the crowd who was chanting and cheering when akon was dry humping the girl on stage. I believe voyeurs are more perverse than the person committing the act. Lets start there and leave akon the **** alone.

he says

So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I’ve done, things that haven’t occurred yet, and things that they don’t want to take responsibility for.

does that mean he is going to do more of this kinda stuff and he is saying sorry in advance

All u motherfuckers who hating on akon should jus go suck ur mama *****!!!!

“I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt”

I think he really apologizin to gwen with a sincere heart.

The girl at the club, i think not…the blame’s on her, her dad and the security that let her in in club Zen.

Also, one of u motherfuckers said Akon held her against her will…****** get ur facts straight!! She was ****** enjoyin it…she opened her legs for him to come!!! and the comment she made afterwards “Best show ever!!”…doesnt that say something!!! She jus playin innocent because her daddy found out…that little ******!!!

Akon is one the most talented artist in the game…a little incident like that would not bring him down

MUCH LUV AKON!!!!!

Oh and btw, get ur ******* lyrics right:

“Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those packs
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
And you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings”

correct lyrics:

Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those BAGS
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
WHEN u would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings

“Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
Enter 21 you know the club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
For rising back out disgracing my name”

the correct lyrics:

“Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage

IN A 21 AND OLDER CLUB THEY SAY
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
VERIZON back out disgracing my name”

Big ******* deal. If what he says is true and the clubs 21+ then the ***** got what she deserves. If you’re gonna be in a grown up situation learn to deal with grown up circumstances.

sickkk ass song!!

i think u all neeed to calm downn a bit. i love akon, hee is a m a z i n g and i love his voice! akon does a lot for us besides giving us amazing music so everyone calm yourselves and enjoy some music for once. i love you akon, dont take this crapp

Lyrics and purpose are wrong tho
He was not “apologizing” to Gwen Stefani, but rather to the 14 year old girl and basically saying it took so long to say sorry because he was on tour.

and its not
“Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain”

What the hell man? its VERIZON

“Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
VERIZON backed out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain”

-.-” I like the rythm of this song. There are pros and cons to your song. But other commenters have said some. It’s a good thing to apologize though… Just think before whatever you do next time and take a look at other’s point of view. Like in the book “To Kill A Mockingbird” - “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

im here for da MUSIC not some sh*t bout dat inccident, so i love the beat, flow of the music, and the lyrics well..most of the ppl dont like but it doesnt matter to me. like i sed im here 4 da talent of akon.

Honestly, cut him some slack. How was he supposed to know that the girl was under 21? She wasnt supposed to be there, it was her fault. It’s rediculas that it’s all his fault now that some irresponcible girl went to an over 21 club when she was 16! And listen to the lyrics, he’s apologizing for a lot more then just that. He’s truely a sincere person.. the lyrics aren’t fake. So try being a little open minded and realize he’s trying to say sorry instead of calling his hypocritical. Thanks.

i think akon is a entertainer and he was doing what he does best. entertaining all of you guys. how was he spose to know the girl was underage it is a OVER 21 CLUB! so he aint to blame at all its the club and that girl. hes a great entertainer and i hope he keeps doing what hes doing cause hes doing so good. the song proves he has guts hes saying sorry even tho he did not do a damn thing wrong!!

Give him a break.. you guys are rediculas.

Oh and its
“VERIZON backed out disgracing my name”
NOT
“For rising back out disgracing my name.”

Someone (girl) @ 06/23/2007 at 12:21 pm

You guys gotta get a hold od yourself… how was he suppose to know that she was underage?
He was having fun and she was having fun!!
Yeah so he pushed her off the stage…. did she die?no she didnt! and plus her dad shoulda known where she was going and shoulda known she had a fake ID!

PLUS…. theres a huge difference between what a 14 year old girl looks like and a 21 year old girl looks like …. its easy to tell them apart! so akon didnt say get a fake iID and come to the club now did he? He had no clue that a 14 year old girl was going to show up at a club.

So stop blaming akon for somthing that he didnt even know would happen and its not his fault… its fans like our fault for losing control over a singer or dancer!

elizabeth @ 06/23/2007 at 9:04 pm

awe this is such a cute song hes trying to apologize people get with it! none of this woulda started if that girl was never there.. like seriously if that girl was 21 i bet none of this woulda got in the news like man that girl looked like a huge **** and looked like she wanted it dont feel sorry for her shes just trying to create trouble

'' PISSED OFF AT YOU AMERICANS @ 06/24/2007 at 8:42 pm

IT IS ALWAYS GOTTA BE THE BLACK MEN I MEAN LOOK AT IT WHAT DA HELL DID HE DO THAT WAS THAT WRONG YO ALL BETTA STOP BEING RACISTS AND GROW UP. HOW MANY SINGERS GET IN TROUBLE AND AFTER THAT THEY APLOGIZE, UH?. I AM SO UPSET BY THE WAY U AMERICANS TREAT US BLACK FOLKS HERE. I MEAN LOOK AT THEM SNOOP, BON JOVI, PARIS HILTON, BRITANY SPEARS AND SO MAY OTHERS. AKNO IS THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER EVER EVER APLOGIZED FRO HIS ACTIONS, THIS WAS A FREAKIN’ ADULT NIGHT CLUB WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE WHITE PEOPLE WAS THE LITTLE BUSTARD DOING IN THERE. YOU DISGUST ME, JUST COZE DA MAN IS BLACK HE SHOULD GET IN THE MUCH TROUBLE. AKON IS FREE AND **** YOU ALL.

This song is a bomb and atleast Akon is takin the blame for this happening , the girl should of known better it is a club for over 21, ad futher more I think she looks for it with this kind of clothes she had on.

dude all of you back the **** off!!!!!! AKON IS BETTER THAN YOUUU ALL!!! i love akon’s song. so don’t sit here and make fun of him.. sit here and make fun of yourselves. grow up, and stop being so immature “LOSERRR!” yea i would shut up(: kk thanks guys. all of you stop making fun of him.. i would watch out.

i THiNK THAT PEOPLE ARE DEFiNATELY BLAMiN EVERYTHiN 0N AK0N WHEN iT iS N0T HiS FAULT. iF THiS GiRL WAS 21 0R 0LDER THE SiTUATiON W0ULD DEFiNATELY N0T BEEN BL0WN UP AS BiG. S0 iN THAT SAME PERSPECTiVE AK0N DiD THiNK THiS GiRL WAS 21 0R 0LDER S00 H0W CAN HE BE T0 BLAME.

S0 WHATEVA. i L0VE THiS S0NG, & i L0VE AK0N. i WiLL C0NTiNUE T0 D0WNL0AD HiS MUSiC REGUARDLESS 0F WHAT ANY0NE SAYS!

ok, the guy messed up. you know how rediclous u all are saying hes not talented and that this is bullshit. if an entire song of apologies isnt an apology what is? that takes time, money, and emotion. hes not 100% to blame and anyone who says it is needs to sit back and relax. u cant deny his talent, his cd’s are deep and he talks about way more than ur average thug rapper. listen to his cd’s. anyone can relate. he messed up and sent bak and apology. what more can anyone ask?

hes lost his sponsor, and enough people are already shitting on him. relax and sit back. he apologized. it doesnt make it right, but it takes a man to do that. saying he isnt talented is being ignorant and narrowminded.
