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

To all those who said bad things about my man Akon: **** You! Was Akon supposed to have checked her ID when the club let her into a 21+ club? If she had been 21 or older it would not have mattered. SHE MADE THAT CHOICE to ENTER the 21+ club and SHE MADE THAT CHOICE TO GET ON STAGE! So why was she there and did someone force her in the club? Hmmmm…. I guess somehow that was all Akon huh! Her parents should be giving her an ass whooping or giving her lots of condoms. Gwen Stefani is not a coward for not letting Akon go from her tour-she’s smart she knows that not all of that is on Akon. All you haters are just jealous that they are both very talented entertainers and you have no one else to bother that you have to try and bring these two down. Get over it!!!!

wait hold up…. what da hell is a lil girl doing in a 21 and up club?? can someone answer that for me before people start saying racist comments and instigating about the rapper akon… i know in part that he did bad… but there is no excuse for a freakin 14 year old girl doin in those kind of places… shes a lil ***** that needs an education and manners… in conclusion, balme it on the lil *****.

I really like this song…you guys shouldn’t be dissing him, Like ” Rick” said aleast he’s putting the blame on him…atleast he’s aplogizing!!! Give him a break….I think Akon is a great singer…and will always be…If you don’t like him so much then why are you bothered to actually comment here…and even listen to the song!!!

u guys are seriously just haten on him leave him the hell alone its all the girls fault. she should’ve never been there and akons not blaming her dad
he’s jus saying tht the dad should’ve never let her out tht young. he’s right believe or not u idiots.and akon was man enough to make a song like this did any other singer ever do something like this, no0 because all the other singers tht make mistakes avoid all the media crap and never bring it up, and akon brang it up himself and is saying srry. good job akon. tht was seriuosly the smartest thing to do.

oo yea nd romeo is 100% right its the girls fault.

guyss, akonss sry . if youu dont belive him . then get overrr it & movee on . thiss is a good song . so dont complain . k thankssssssss

damn..stop blaming akon, he’s “just a singer tryin to entertain” like he said…..it was the fricken girl’s fault… HE’ ONLY HUMAN! and aleast he’s blaming himself cuz no one else will..
I Support u a 100%, akon

I respect him for this. If this were to happen to any of you that are calling him a loser, and an idiot, or whatever, I’m sure you wouldn’t have had the courage to make an apology to the world like this. He is taking the blame off of all of these other people and putting in on himself. He should be blamed for this, but some people are punishing Gwen Stefani for his actions and that’s wrong. So I respect him for taking the blame. What he did was wrong, and he is accepting that and saying he deserves the blame. Honestly, if you have ever done something and someone else suffered a consequence because of it, how hard was it to say that they had nothing to do with it? Did you even tell anyone that they had nothing to do with it? Imagine having to do that to the whole world. I’m not saying he should just be forgiven, and I’m sure he didn’t think that’s what everyone was going to do, but he tried. Give him a break. So for those of you telling him to grow up; take you own advice. I know sorry doesn’t cut it, but at least he is apologizing.

I didn’t think Akon dancing with that girl was that bad…was he supposed to double check her ID before he pulled her onstage? If a club is supposed to be 18+ or 21+ or whatever and someone underage sneaks in and something like that happens, the club should be liable.

Get over it, for those who thinks it’s Akon’s fault. Was he supposed to know that she’s underage is he supposed to say “excuse me miss can i check your ID before i start bang you”. As you all haters know that she’s 15, now ask yourself this, why would a 15 year old be doing in an overage club. Plus the way she dress it’s saying “do something nasty to me” lol. Teenagers these days wears clothes that reveals about 3/4 of their body I’d say they want to get laid before they reach their adult hood. Anyway he’s apologizing, do YOU have the guts to apologise to everyone around the globe?

Poor Akon @ 07/03/2007 at 2:03 pm

okay people. So i know akon did something wrong. But you people do not understand what he is saying. People are putting the blame on the girl, but he is saying that he will take the blame. He really is apologizing. If he wasnt apologizing, why would he take the time to make up this song. This is truely one deep song, and I forgive akon. you should too, and not go on strike against him. Don’t judge people on their past in the future. Every day is a new start.

I think everyone is coming down to hard on Akon. First, if you had to be twentyone to get into this club then why was a 14 year old there? What happened to checking ID’s. Second, every concert that I have been to, always have females screaming to get on stage knowing what to expect!! I mean, what do you think is going to happen, receive a pat on the shoulder? Don’t get it twisted, everyone knows what to expect when going on stage with a performer. Everyone is always out to blame someone else for their actions. If you are an adult or pretending to be one, such as this 14 year old, then learn how to act like one by starting to take responsiblity for your actions instead of blaming someone else.

why are all you guys hatin on akon. hes been tru some rough times. by you doin this you making it worse. think before you speak.and how do you know the songs about him. like he siad even tho the blames on you you can put the blame on me. its the other persons fault. listen to the lyrics. and stop being so judgemental. GROW UP!! the only hipocrates here. are most of you.

kayy thanks.:]

Akon is fuukin amazing. Why are all of you people jipping him, he said sorry and he’s made an awsome song out of it too. Anyway, he’s told people they can put the blame on him, and what was a 14 year old doing in a 21+ club, it’s illegal!! I really think this song is one of Akon’s best yet, so please people give him some slack. What more do you want? He’s wrote a song about how sorry he is.

Will everyone shut up?? PPl PPl!! I was scared of account once bcuz of club zen. But i hard this song, I’m sooooo relaxed now, I know everything he might of done was rude, but he had guts to say sorry to the whole world. Thats all i gotta say.. if you wnna contact me, plz email me babytrini_kasha@hotmail.com

L8tzz

um yeah why do you need to no. @ 07/17/2007 at 9:19 pm

i don’t exactly know what happened? I loove the song its kindof retarded that he thinks its an apologoy. i dont know the whoel story or what not so i could say but i looove the song.

kbye

first of all adults are alound to dance however they want. you dont check id when you are at an adult club where the club has a responsibility for adults and only adults entering. what about the girls parents?

would u guys just F’en leave the guy alone i mean c’mon jesus like u never done anything u regret everyone makes mistakes and at least has enough balls to apologize in public

babygirl13 @ 07/20/2007 at 9:55 pm

omg would u guys leave akon alone he made a mistake! he didnt know the girl was under 21 she shouldnt have been there in da first place i dont think that he should have done that to the girl but at least he apologized!

I think Akon is man enough to apologize on a song. I really think he’s sorry for wat’s he’s done. I think who ever is hatin on him should give him on credit cause it’s not like he did it on perpus. He’s tryin to entertain us and make money. That man is strong to say sorry publicly. KUDOS TO AKON> KEEP DOIN WAT U DO!!!!!!

alwaysright dude i agree wit u on everything but ur a racisst son of a b_tch

“Even though the blames on you”

That means that hes taking the blame because Gwen Stefani lost her Verizon sponsor. She lost her sponsor so that mean she got blamed and he is taking that blame. He knows it was his fault. Goodness give him some credit.

Akon is a great singer!!!!!!!!!! the girl looked so old too, plus the dumb girl should have something done to her. why would she let him grab her onstage. plus her father should know where his kids are, what kind of father is that……. go akon. i love u. your the best….
