T.I. - I Still Luv You

[Chorus] 2X
Don`t hate me shawty
But even if you hate me shawty
I still love you
And now I only wish that you could
See that my intentions were good
I still love you

[Verse 1]
Forgave me once, forgave me twice, forgave me three times
I stayed lyin`, you stayed down in the meantime
Had my son and turned around and had another one
I broke yo heart when I told you bout the other one
I stay in trouble ha? Ain`t got too much to loose
Knew I could loose it all but never thought of losin` you
Eleven years ago I still regret me choosin` you
Meetin` you, pursuin` you and doin` you in `92
You fixed plates, showed yo face at every courtdate
And all you wanted me to do was call when I was out late
How could I let you go? I thought I knew it all
When you deserved the best and more, you been through it all
So you think I sold yo dreams, but what I say I mean
Just take it to consideration, I was 17
I`m still the same man, just had a change of plan
Never ask you back and fuck a wedding band
But I still love you

Repeat Chorus 1 w/ ad libs

[Verse 2]
Went from resentin` you, hatin` you, now I`m missin` you
On the realest shit I ever dropped, dissin` pops
I never even thought, to ask my mom what happened
Just knew that you was livin` in Manhattan and I was trappin`
We never had a chance, we was in different states
But I`ll forgive it, you was human and we make mistakes
You tried to make it up, but shit, you couldn`t pay enough
You sent me ??? and toys and clothes thinkin` you gave enough
But it wasn`t though, and you wasn`t there
That`s all I knew, so I grew up thinkin` you ain`t care
I know it wasn`t fair, but ay, it wasn`t fun
But now what`s done is done, no matter wha, I`m still yo son
I could care less if none of yo other children come
I`ma be right there prayin` you live to be a million one
Finally I understand, hustlin`, livin` fast
Tryin` to get the cash and settle down and be a dad
You probably never knew, cuz hey, I never said it
But pops, I`m just like you, I`m stubborn and I`m hardheaded
But now you dead in the ground, no meanin` tellin` you now
But all I wanted was for you to be proud
I still love you

[Chorus]
Don`t hate me shawty
If I ain`t told you lately shawty
I still love you
Now I only wish that I could
See that yo intentions were good
I still love you
Don`t hate me shawty
Please don`t hate me shawty
Ay, I still love you
And now I only wish that I could
See that yo intentions were good


[Verse 3]
How could I criticize my daddy on that last verse
Lookin` at my own dirt, you got some nerve
But be that as it may, I got some shit to say
It`s been a secret, I can`t keep it for another day
I got a lil` girl, not just two lil` boys
And that`s been killin` me inside, eatin` me alive
And I can`t find the words, nor the nouns or verbs
To express whachu deserve, girl you worth the world
But I`m a man and I ain`t perfect, if you hear me now
I`ll tell you wha had happened, when, why, when, how
Me and yo mama met, we kinda kicked it off
But we wasn`t `posed to have a baby, we just chillin` out
We had a ???, almost the same size
Same goals, said thangs at the same time
But then we destroyed the situation like the a changed mind
How could I look her in her eyes and ???
Her stomach gettin` bigger, and time is gettin` close
Six, seven, eight, nine months and I ain`t told mah folks
Not just messiah mama, hell, I had told yo granny
Three kids in two years, baby, daddy had it
But I ain`t ashamed of you, I`m more ashamed of me
It`s not at all yo fault, you`d be better off blamin` me
But now I realize, where the problem lies
Forgive me babygirl, I apologize
And I still love you

[Chorus] 2X
Don`t hate me shawty
Please don`t hate me shawty
Cuz I still love you
Now I only wish that you could
See that my intentions were good
