[Intro]
This song goes out – is for the girls' feelin's I hurt. I'm promise y'all, I'ma make it better for y'all
Check this
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give you the respect that you earn, that you earn, yeah
What you make me do
That's what I'm gon' do – give you the respect you earn
I'm gonna give you the respect that you earn, that you earn, yeah
What you make me do
That's what I'm gon' do – give you the respect you earn
[Verse]
I'm sorry for accusin' you of lyin' on my name
I know you ain't deserve that and I'm the one to blame
You deserve better, I believe my actions never shows it
That just had my heart hurtin', really had to deal with it
I apologize for callin' you out yo' name
I was in the wrong, I really felt bad, I know that's a shame
Wish I could take it all back and undo what happened
But, it's too late, so I can't fix what happened
I was bein' cocky, so there's nothin' I can do about it
My mind just drove me crazy, I don't even wanna talk about it
Take my words back and reverse the timelines
But it's already been done, I can't change my own time
You and yo' two friends, I'm sorry for hurtin' your feelins
Y'all wasn't happy 'bout it, so I need to respect y'all feelins
Y'all got mad, I feel yo' pain
Feel like I need to change my ways
Don't speak 'bout the past, let's talk 'bout the future, get this out the way
My apology goes out to the girl I hurt
Sayin' K-Y-S, it was dead wrong, I'm sorry that your feelings hurt
Take responsibility for my actions
I take my words back, please forgive me
Didn't mean for it to happen
You don't deserve that, you will always treated like a queen
I let my cockiness get the best of me, you know what I mean
Wishin' I shouldn't said it, should've said somethin' nicer
I need to watch what I say
Let me give my love to her
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give you the respect that you earn, that you earn, yeah
What you make me do
That's what I'm gon' do – give you the respect you earn
I'm gonna give you the respect that you earn, that you earn, yeah
What you make me do
That's what I'm gon' do – give you the respect you earn
