lirik lagu p. diddy, r. kelly - apology song
(intro)
yeah…
combs
they can lock the flesh… but the spirit… the spirit is a different conversation
talk to ’em, kells
(chorus)
i never knew… what it meant to be free…
“free” was just a word they put on a tv screen
wakin’ up, breathin’ air, thought that was a given…
didn’t know i was in a cage, just pretendin’ i was livin’
oh, until this day… (oh, lord)…
i see the sky through bars of gray…
now i know… now i know the price you pay
(hook)
yeah!
freedom was a foreign whip, i was just steppin’ in (just steppin’)
foreign cloth, i thought i was flexin’ then (flexin’)
now the only “foreign” is this concrete pen, yeah
god’s plan, i guess i had to learn the lesson, huh? (the lesson)
thought the chains was platinum, i was so mistaken (so mistaken)
now my soul is wakin’, my whole world is shakin’
(verse)
yeah
they told me i was a king. i built an empire on that lie
crisp suits, shiny floors, never once looked up at the sky
freedom was a boardroom, a jet on the tarmac, waitin’ for me
a signature. a headline. a “yes, sir.” i was blind, i couldn’t see
this is from a cell… where a man’s soul… falls apart
i’m lookin’ in the mirror, sean… and i don’t know who you are
i built a monster, and i let it roam way too far
to the women… the ones i hurt… the ones i made feel small…
the lies i told, the power i held… i stand guilty of it all
there’s no excuse, no fancy talk, no lawyer in this room
just the ghost of your pain, bloomin’ in this concrete gloom
i had the keys to the city, but the one to my soul was lost
knew the price of everything, but never counted the cost
now the cost is this view. this steel. this silence so loud
screamin’ “puffy” don’t mean a thing in here, you’re just another face in the crowd
i was a master of ceremony, now i’m just a number on a roll
traded my spirit for a kingdom that i never really controlled
i thought i was the architect… but i was just another brick in the wall
and now… the whole d~mn thing… is takin’ my last call
(chorus)
i never knew… (no, i didn’t) what it meant to be free…
“free” was just a word, had no meaning to me!
wakin’ up, breathin’ air, thought that was a given… (i took it all for granted)
now i’m beggin’ for the light that i once was handed!
oh, until this day… (have mercy!)
i see the sky through bars of gray… (so gray)
now i know… (i know now) now i know the price you pay
(bridge)
freedom. they sell you the dream, but they don’t give you the deed
you own the cars, the chains, the clothes… but you’re leasing the air you breathe
you think you’re the king of your world, until you see the man who holds the key
and that man… is never you. this whole time… the ultimate hustle… was on us
bad boy… for life. locked in
(outro)
i’d walk a mile in the rain… just to feel it on my skin…
i’d give it all… yes, i would… just to start again…
i’m so sorry… i’m so sorry
the sky is pink… the grass is blue in here…
i see colors now… i see ’em all…
it’s a w… but it feel like an l…
weckly jay, jay!
