[Verse 1]
I raised you from two years old
While Eligh sat in a prison cell because he’d rather cook dope
Tried to teach you how to honest and respectful and loyal
I know I fucked up hitting that foil
With bill undermining me at every turn
how the hell will you ever learn
When someone is there telling you you’re never to wrong
Being a man is accepting responsibility for the damage you’ve done
Like none of that got through to you
You broke the frame, you raised your hand
And never once said, "I understand"
[Pre-Chorus]
You act like sorry is a trap
Like every wreck just vanishes back
Your granddad feeds you cheap excuses
Calls it pain, then calls me useless
[Chorus]
Say it straight
Take the blame
You hit me hard
Then walked away
No sorry text
No honest shame
Take the blame
Take the blame
(Own it now)
[Verse 2]
That skateboard left a bruise and scar
Still you sat there playing hard
Fourteen years and acting grown
Like rules were just for others because you’re above
He laughs it off, your granddad does
Lets you slide on every cut
A clean escape, a crooked game
And every lie lands back on me and this trauma to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been patient through the storms
Held the line and kept you warm
But patience dies where truth won’t grow
When you keep running from what you know
[Chorus]
Say it straight
Take the blame
You hit me hard
Then walked away
No sorry text
No honest shame
Take the blame
Take the blame
(Own it now)
[Bridge]
Maybe somebody told you pain
Is a shield from every stain
Maybe they taught you bend and blame
So you can stay the same
But that road don’t make a man
It just keeps wrecking every hand
I’m not asking for a lie
I’m asking you to look me in the eye
[Chorus]
Say it straight
Take the blame
You hit me hard
Then walked away
No sorry text
No honest shame
Take the blame
Take the blame
(Own it now)
