Take the Blame Lyrics

[Intro]
(Sam Thraxx don't miss)
(Popstar Benny)
(Popstar)

[Verse 1]
Looking at my phone ring like where these niggas was in 2014?
Me and my nigga Reem out there plotting on schemes
Plotting on licks and quick ways to get rich
Nigga break in your shit and flip it, Christmas time, we the Grinch
Don't get it twisted, I won't talk about that shit like I miss it
I just thought shit would've been different when we went and got millions
So many ups and downs, a nigga so close to quitting
Then I think about them long nights trapped in the trenches
Reminiscing 'bout baby girl screaming my name
Wishin' shit could've been different, let's rekindle our flamе
I don't never sleep at night, I just lay in the dark
And in thе daytime I have nightmares of you breaking my heart

[Bridge]
Even though we a thousand miles apart
I still feel your scars
Your (Your) scars

[Verse 2]
Thinking 'bout my nigga Brock 'cause a nigga never would've touched him
If I swallowed my pride and let 'em go on the road with his cousin
I'm sorry aunty, I know all of the pain that it caused
I was too young to understand all of the change I could cause
Thinking 'bout my dog locked down in the system
He was only eighteen, they gave my nigga twenty
I know I could've changed or persuaded the way he was living
Now you see I was wondering who waiting for me to come get him
[Pre-Chorus]
First the sun goes down and then the moon comes out
Another day is gone, and then it rain all night long
And I pray that I change my selfish ways
After all I can't, I can't escape

[Chorus]
I'll take the blame for that (I'll take the blame for that, yeah, I'll take the blame for that)
I'll take the blame for that (I'll take the blame for that, I'll take the blame for that)
I'll take the blame for that (I'll take the blame for that, yeah, I'll take the blame for that)
I'll take the blame for that (I'll take the blame for that, yeah, I'll take the blame for that)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
