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

erm
in the bit of the last verse
‘For rising back out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain’
they have the lyrics wrong
its
‘VERIZON backed out digracing my name..’
not
‘FOR RISING backed out digracing my name..’

Does anyone notice the tatoo on this so called little girls back. She is 14 years old and has a tatoo, what does that say about her family and her lifestyle. Akon’s fault is the type of dance he did. But let us all be honest with ourselves for a minute or two. Had this been a 25 year old female, none of this would be an issue. Let’s look at where the blame should really be. It always goes back to the parents. What parent would let a 14 year old get a tatoo or leave late at night to go sleep over at a friends house. It seems that they do not care.

well thiz song itz kinda true
tht gurl y did she go to the club any wayz
and akon didnt know tht the gurl was 14
and akon was stupid enough to say she was 20 and up
IT WAS BOATH OF THIER FAULT!!!

FUCK YOU AKON HATERS @ 09/13/2007 at 8:47 pm

**** YOU GUYS WHO DONT LIKE THIS SONG.. HE DIDNT RAPE NOBODY.. SHE WAS IN A 21 AND OLDER CLUB IT SHOULD BE THE ******* CLUBS FAULT IF YOU DONT LIKE AKON **** OFF

I think this song is awesome. It doest matter that he says the blame is on them. First he takes blame for all the stupid stuff he’s done. Then takes blame for things that other people have done. That is why he says even though the blames on you. Dont call him an idiot if your going to be one yourself.

Love the song!!! Its awesome and really great to relate to.

It says “Verizon backed out disgracing my name” not “for rising back out”

i not being funny yer but that stupid **** shuldnt be in a ova 21 club anyway. so every1 stop blaming Akon for being so one bad wen dat slag was da 1 in da wrong. yh n go on you tube n see that she was the one on top of him. ifeel really sorry for you Akon he has given us so much good music but u lot r just so ungratefull. dnt worry you still got fans out there. you can tell in the video how sorry he is.
dnt wrry Akon we still luv u.

there was alot of people to be blamed there. yes he shouldnt have have done that and call it entertainment cos rape isn’t entertainment. But she should never have been tbhere in the first place, the club should have never let her inside, se got in dressed up tring to be something she wasn’t. there is more than just akon to blame here. He is the only one that has tried to apologize for his wrong doing, and he wants the others that should be getting blamed to do the same, like the club, the girl. Why should he get all the blame he didnt no she was 14 when its a 21+ club. give him a break where are the others to apologize. He has given us great music and i think this is the best yet.
People are still here for you akon great song.

Okay so I dont like Akon but still that girl should NOT have been in that club! its a 21+ club!!And yes, its tempting just because you’re not aloud but still the freaking ID checker person should have saw her or something! Its good the club got shut down. thats what it deserves. And some of it is Akon’s fault. I dont think ANYBODY should be doing that to a girl. Young or old. But it is NOT rape. She was smiling and enjoying herself! If it wouldve been pretty much rape she wouldve been screaming and trying to get up. but was she? no. that dad shouldnt have sued. he shouldve beat the girls butt for the fact that she was dressed like that at the age of 14 in a 21+ club. and good job on the sponsor backing out. I wouldnt have supported them after that happening. Its all bullcrap. I dont think he is truly apologizing! He just doesnt wanna get sued!

your all stupid ‘how was i to know she was underage’ if the club knew what they where doing then she wouldnt off been in the club in the first place. no way was it akons fault get a grip u idiots!!!!

I think that what he did was wrong and he shouldnt of done it no matter what the age was. But the song was good for an apology but think the bit were he sez he will take the blame is a bit **** coz it aint no1 elses fault he shunbt of done it in the first place

The good thing u know he did worng and he trying to forgive himself for wat he did and hurt alot of people beside him and is trying to start or looking for a new beggining and btw he is a man to stand up for wat he did and started to fix everything up by a simple appology

and its not akon fault …. but he need to be more carefull of his fan not all fans are fan ….

always learn from people before you ….

….Tupac …
Stay forever …

i think that akon was wrong for doing what he did but he has spent all of his money saying sorry and she shouldnt of been in the club i am just suprised he held her down and done THAT!!! i love akon loads though and i think any man would of done the same mistake as she must of looked old and she shouldnt of been in the club!!! i don’t see why this has got anything to do with gwen stefani though!!!!! could somebody tell why she has been brought up so many times???

oh and i think everyone should back off akon a bit i think he regrets everything dont you????

YOU AMERICANS SEEM TO BE A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITS - SORRY FOR THE MISPELLING. IT WAS THE CLUB’S FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING HER ID, NOT HIS!!!! SORRY, BUT SHE IS THE ONE TO BLAME AS WELL, WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE DOING THERE??? HE DID VERY WELL IN WRITING THIS SONG, APOLOGIZING TO GWEN AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE TAKING THIS INCIDENT TOO SERIOUSLY. LET’S ENJOY THE SONG!!! IT’S A BLAST!!!

if you read the song he sais “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”

it’s the girl’s fault for sneaking into a club when she shouldn’t be there, that’s why he sais ill take the blame for you

read all the lyrics before you criticise someone,
and by the way he’s not being a hypocrit because he only sais
“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”
because she was in the club, did she evd up getting arrested for false identification, possibly even fraud if she stole someone else’s identification.

this was such an admirable thing to do.
he made a mistake, and some say it was his fault and others disagree.
atleast he has the guts to say something.

and to those who call him an idiot,
take a closer look at the lyrics.

Errr use are all so gay, your makin it 100000 times worse.
all hedid was dance with her.
how is that wrong
any fan would love to dance with him i sure would.
he didnt touch er in any sexual way
so stop tellin him to grow up iuse are the ones who need too.
