[Verse 1] Mau, I know there's been some words, Some things I wish I'd never said, Sometimes the weight of everything Gets heavy in my head. But through the noise and through the nights, One thing I want you to know: I respect the place you've trusted me with, And I won't let that go. [Chorus] So this is my apology, I'm putting it in a song, For every misunderstanding, For every time I got it wrong. My word is to the property, My respect is here to stay, I'll stand up for this place And treat it right every day. [Verse 2] I've watched these streets through sleepless nights, I've seen the trouble come and go, And when somebody crossed that line, I tried to let the right people know. I don't need a title, I don't need a name, If I'm living on this property, I'll help protect its name. [Chorus] So this is my apology, No anger, no disguise, I'm telling you straight from the heart, No matter what you've heard or seen in my eyes. My word is to the property, My respect is here to stay, I'll do my part, keep my word, And make things right along the way. [Bridge] I can't change yesterday, But I can choose what happens next. Respect the home, respect the ground, And give the future my respect. No promises beyond my place, No words I can't defend— Just loyalty to doing right And respect from tenant to friend. [Final Chorus] So Mau, accept my apology, Let the past stay in the past, I'll show you with my actions That respect is built to last. This property has my commitment, I'll treat it like it's mine, And whatever comes tomorrow, I'll handle it the right way this time. [Outro] This is my word, This is my song, I'm sorry for the things That I may have gotten wrong. Respect for you, Respect for this place, And I'll let my actions Speak for me from this day.
