[Intro: André 3000]

Yeah, this one right here goes out

To all the baby's mamas' mamas

Mamas, mamas, baby mamas' mamas

Yeah, go like this

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

[Verse 1: Big Boi]

My baby a drama mama don't like me

She be doin' things like havin' them boys

Come from her neighborhood to the studio, tryna fight me

She need to get a piece of the American pie and take her bite out

That's my house, I'll disconnect the cable and turn the lights out

And let her know her grandchild is a baby and not a pay check

Private school, daycare, shit, medical bills, I pay that

I love your mom and everything

But see, I ain't the only one who laid down

She wanna rib you up to start a custody war, my lawyers stay down

She never got a chance to hear my side of the story, we was divided

She had fish fries and cookouts for my child's birthday, I ain't invited

Despite it I show her the utmost respect when I fall through

All you, do is defend that lady when I call you, yeah

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

[Bridge: André 3000]

Me and your daughter got a special thang goin' on (We got a special kinda thing)

You say it's puppy love, we say it's full-grown (Arroof)

Hope that we feel this, feel this way forever

You can plan a pretty picnic but you can't predict the weather

Ms. Jackson

[Verse 2: André 3000]

Ten times out of nine, now if I'm lyin', find

The quickest muzzle, throw it on my mouth and I'll decline

King meets queen, then the puppy love thing

Together dream 'bout that crib with the Goodyear swing

On the oak tree, I hope we feel like this forever

Forever, forever ever? Forever ever?

Forever never seems that long until you're grown

And notice that the day-by-day ruler can't be too wrong

Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I could

Become a magician to abracadabra all the sadder

Thoughts of me, thoughts of she, thoughts of he

Asking what happened to the feeling that her and me had

I pray so much about it, need some knee pads

It happened for a reason, one can't be mad

So know this, know that everything's cool

And yes, I will be present on the first day of school and graduation

[Chorus: André 3000 & Big Boi]

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry (Uh, uh, yeah)

I apologized a trillion times

[Verse 3: Big Boi]

"Look at the way he treats me", shit, look at the way you treat me

You see, your little nosy-ass homegirls done got your ass sent up the creek, G

Without a paddle, you left to straddle and ride this thing on out (Out)

Now you and your girl ain't speakin' no more 'cause my dick all in her mouth (Mouth)

Know what I'm talkin' about?

Jealousy, infidelity, envy, cheating, beating in the year 2G, they be the same thing

So who you placin' the blame on? You keep on singin' the same song

Let bygones be bygones and you can go on and get the hell on, you and your mama

[Chorus: André 3000 & Big Boi]

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real (Your mama a bitch)

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real

Never meant to make your daughter cry

I apologized a trillion times
