Learn You

I acknowledge that I missed out on a relationship with you.

I apologize for my absence and not being present in your life.

I made an effort to fulfill your desires and needs.

I want you to understand that I genuinely cared about you.

I am committed to understanding you better now.

To learn you now, to learn you now

To learn you now

Let me actively engage in learning more about you now.

Reiteration of the acknowledgment of missing out and the desire to learn and understand now.

Sorry that I'm never there (my oh my)

I tried to get everything you wanted (this one is for y'all, man)

I hope you know I really cared (my juniors)

To learn you now, to learn you now (word)

To learn you now, to learn you now (I apologize)

To learn you now

To learn you now (I apologize), lemme learn, lemme learn you now

Expressing regrets for focusing on a dream, being away, and missing significant moments in the lives of loved ones, particularly children. Seeking forgiveness and expressing a desire to start anew.

Workin' on my craft took up all my time

I gotta beware, I'm near at the drop of a dime

But through all my travels y'all stayed on my mind

My two lil' boys, two pieces of me

My two looks in the mirror, my two reasons to be

Sorry I didn't go them places I needed to be

Trips that I missed with your school

Games I ain't root for your team

Feels like yesterday I would wake up to your screams

Y'all was cryin' for bottles, when did y'all turn into teens?

Tryna grow mustaches, peach fuzz look clean

Your voices got deeper, make sure you say what you mean

Happy y'all don't say y'all hate me for all the time I was away

What good was the toys if I never stayed there to play?

I'm askin' you both for forgiveness, can we start over today?

Y'all don't have to answer that now, I just wanted to say

Repetition of the acknowledgment of missing out, apologizing for absence, and expressing a genuine caring attitude, followed by a plea to actively learn and understand now.

Sorry that I'm never there

I tried to get everything you wanted

I hope you know I really cared

To learn you now, to learn you now

To learn you now, to learn you now

To learn you now

To learn you now

Lemme learn, lemme learn you now

Reflecting on the challenges of being on the road, attempting to stay connected through pictures and calls, realizing the growth of the children, expressing regret for the lifestyle choices, and seeking forgiveness to start afresh.

It was rough on the road, must have been tougher at home

Even on the west, I'm movin', but that bus driver know

Find me that Western Union, I'd send your mother some dough

I'd try to find time whenever I was alone

To try to get y'all on the phone just to see what's goin' on

Y'all ain't lil' boys no more, look at how much you have grown

My youngest one taller than me, my oldest my skinnier clone

I know that I missed out on you

Bothers me down to my soul, my lifestyle was out of control

Replaced time with the money, trade that I tried to barter

I'm askin' you both for forgiveness, can we start over today?

Y'all don't have to answer that now, I just wanted to say

Final repetition of acknowledgment, apology, and expressing love and care, followed by a commitment to learning and understanding from this point forward.

Sorry that I'm never there (I'm sorry, y'all)

I tried to get everything you wanted (I love y'all, man)

I hope you know I really cared (uh)

To learn you now, to learn you now (let's do it from here, start now)

To learn you now, to learn you now (you know?)

To learn you now

To learn you now (word)
