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

yo what’s wrong with u Guys it’s akon !! wt if some one told u that ur father is a guy are u gnna belive all what he said simply !!

for i like all of his songs from the first to the end ? and Gwen what about her !! damn when she was 16 she sucked all the dicks on her naighbour hood !! DAMN what’s wrong PPL he is apologizing even if he didn’t do any thing what do u want him to do like eminem and say **** you all !!

damn u are really kids !!
and about throwin the kid / ppl michel jakson did the same !! :S

**** i don’t really have the time to read all the ***** u guys wrote !!

but if u don’t like what i just said !!
CALL 911 AND KISS MY ASS !!

P.E.A.C.E

come akon, is this the best you can do?
not only have you “disgtraced your name”,
you try to shove the blame on the girls dad,
the club, and the fact that she was underage.
sorry but simulated rape is NOT okay for underage OR
over 21 women. looks like you should take a “sweet escape”

PS: what about the kid you through off the stage ??

dumbass people, it was in a club 21 and older what the **** was she doing there??? The thing about the kid it was his fault, why would you go to someone’s concert just to disrespect??Have you no manners??I would’nt have apologized at all maybe only to Gwen Stefani

OH MY GOD why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?

I’m not taking his side because he’s famous but Akon was just having fun.
we all do stuff that we regret. But it’s not like u have to be all serious about it. It’s a part of life. It’s legal to dance like that in a 21+ club. everyones over 21 there like comon people.

That girl who was 14 should not have been there. You should not put the blame on Akon. You should put the blame on her.

Akon it wasn’t your fault. Hear me out. If that girl was over the age of 21 no one would have cared!!

They’re only making such a big deal out of this because she was 14 for god sakes. It was her fault. I love the song you made Akon but you didn’t have to take the blame for that.

Akon your very thoughtful and responsible to take the blame. But that girl needs to get a lesson taught to her about breaking the law.

At least thats what I think.

Thanks.

I THINK THE SONG WAz COO HE AINT TRYNNA BLAME IT ON ANY1 ELSE HE JUz SAYIN DAT DA GURL SHULD HAVE TLD HM SHE WAz UNDERAGE BUT DAT HE’LL STIL TAKE DA BLAME CUz IT TRULLIE Iz HIz FAULT

WTF i don’t get it at all
he raped a girl
a teenage girl
who dídn’t knew what was happening to her
that’s so not real
and if he raped the girl
& everybody seems to know
why isn’t that THE news of the day and isn’t he in jail :S

Akon .. iz just an entertaining machine .. u all just want to blame this guy because he is black .. if it was justin timberlake, everyone would hav let it go .. this girl is 14, AKON hasn’t RAPE her!! It was an over 21 club, so of course no 14yr old gurl is admitted, and who will know that a 100lbs girl is 14 ?? .. perhaps you haven’t noticed it , AKON has been in da’ prison .. so just don’t condemned any one only by a video .. again HE HASN’T RAPE HER !!!

I think akon is trying to do the right thing by saying sorry but he already did those things twice i think he doesn’t care and he have to said sorry becuase he knows that his fans wouldn’t like him. Also what in the hell a girl that is 14 years old can go to a club that is just stupid besides what kind of security is the one. And what about the fathers of the girl what they were thinking they let her go to a club and something wrong happen to her they are going to said that it was the singer fault all of these people are irresponsible and they have to tace care about they’re jobs and the people.

i love akon .
you guys are stupid .

so he did a few wrong things .
obviously you people have made mistakes .
give the guy some respect
at least people know hes name

Akon you rule!! Keep up the good work! ; ) The girl liked it! Thug!

Smart of Akon to apologize through a really good song. Lol, make money out of it and get some respect.

But Akon shouldn’t be bashed so much. And the girl? Omfg, she 7 years underage!!! F**k, and people are blaming Akon 100% of that too?

Now about the kid thrown offstage, that really was Akon’s fault from what I know. Tsk tsk, should’ve added that verse, man.

As life goes on I’m starting to learn “more” and “more” about “responsibility”… I don’t think Akon could waist his time to write a song that doesn’t come from the bottom of his heart… If Akon he didn’t mean what his saying in the song, Why the hell did he bother himself to write it anyway… Besides to that Akon is really sorry about what happend He Apologizes In Public… For us people to hear how really sorry he is… Gwen listen cut Akon some slack… He really means what he’s saying… in other words he’s trying to be a gentleman… Apologizing in front of the world… Besides if he didn’t mean really mean it he could’ve just brought a bunch of flowers at your door step… Saying he is sorry… Even if he did bring some flowers at your door step saying he is sorry… He also went an extra mile Aproving that HE IS SORRY… And before Iclose my feelings try to analiyse his words that say… As life goes on I’m starting to learn “more” and “more” about “responsibility”…

You all SUCK! and your stupid!! Akon was simply doing what any other man in his position would do!

Ok why are you guys hatin on akon?! Wow. He was dubbing ( hard grinding ) wit a girl is that far off from what a lot of people do. You cant call that rape. Even though he did something wrong its not his fault. Besides about half of artists today are ‘criminals’ at least he says to himself, “wow I guess some people thought that was stupid of me” but he’s saying sorry! Unlike N.W.A. Saying **** like fuckthe police when they get in trouble. I think you guys are expecting way to much from akon and its kinda sad.

u keep u’re head up and i’m glad that u at least tryed !!!!!!!!!!!
it takes a real man to do that!!!!!!!!!!!

~ KEEP U’RE HEAD UP~

f al u who think akon sucks

shame :(
does not have to do it that why!!

Well, first off i believe that most if the comments posted here are idiotic in their own right. Can we please you the English language correctly?

Akon screwed up, he admits it. The bottom line is he shouldn’t have done that whether the girl was 14 or 40. However, the club is at the most fault and cause the whole problem by not preventing her entrance. They had a responsibility to protect that girl from herself, and the entertainer they hired.

I don’t believe that Akon is a bad man - i believe, like everyone, hes human. Human make mistakes, and we all deserve redemption. And frankly, its not like he did anything terrible… He didn’t kill, he didn’t rape, he didn’t do anything beyond a simple mistake that we all can be guilty of doing. He went to far.

And the song is very good :)

TO HARRISON: he through a kid off the stage??

x

Akon is such an idiot. Most people that I have met dont know about this side of him. It wasnt her fault, so what if she was wearing clothes that were a little bit revealing, Akon knew what he was doing and he had the choice whether to continue or not, Also HE KNEW she was under age. Obviously her parents trusted her and the people running the competition, that they would take would take good care of their child, to let her go! Rape is a serious crime and it can cause phsychological harm to the victim. Taking the blame or saying sorry, sure it may seem easy to let those words fall out of your mouth, but to the victim it can mean nothing! What kind of entertainer throws fans off stage (sure you were trying to protect yourself), but as Akon says in his lyrics “Im just a singer trying to entertain”…What the hell is that about! We know your trying to enterain people, but if you were’nt so cracked in the head maybe you would realise that these people actually like your music and they are desperate to meet you!

Akon you truly digust me!

Also Akon only said sorry because he was forced to by his manager, not because he wanted to! Bullsh*t she wanted him to do it, and also she only commented saying “It was the best show ever!”, because she knew that she didnt want to pour her heart out right there and then!

its not “for rising” its “Verizon backed out disrgracing my name.” Ok.? get it straight. geez. >:[ people have no commen sense. dont just make up lyrics.

I think it wa wrong of him what he did but he would have been a different sorty if she was off age, and I think the club should step and share the blame for allowing her in as long with the parnters for allowing her out that light and to be dressing like that. I thin kthat everyone should share the blame, and He difently learned from this.
