this version is the version performed live in concert and on the radio stations
Phone rings
Baby I know it's sad it's best we don't talk no more
But I gotta get it off my chest
like all the ish I've been hearin Babe
I, I thought you was that ride or die you would never leave my side
I really made you out to be the woman
that I would be with for life
I took in your kid
I Did everything that you wanted me to
Now I'm hearin' little ish about you frontin on radio interviews
Do it make you feel good to lie
Even though I know you wanna cry, hey,
If you gonna tell it then you should have told everything
Instead of making me the bad guy
If you don't have nothing good to say
Then don't say nothing
Cause if I really start talking it'll be something
So you cheated, I cheated, So be it we need to leave it alone
Move on to..
You got (Beep Beep)
Hold on

Hello you have a collect call from a Princeton Correction Facility
Will you accept the charges?
[Usher]
yes I accept it
what's up?
[Shyne]
Sittin in my cell head about to burst
wouldn't be alive if i didnt shoot first
i had it made til the bullet richocheted
would i be in the grave if i didnt let it spray
i never said that i was perfect
nobody walkin on this earth is
that night i woulda got murdered if i aint grabbed the ratchet and let them cowards have it
[JD]
listen up, listen up, listen up world
listen up, listen up, listen up world
i gotta confess...
this the hottest remix i ever did in my life
so so def
[Chorus]
Cuz these are my confessions
just when i thought i said all i can say
my chick on the side said
she got one on the way
these are my confessions
man i'm throwed and i dont know what to do
i guess i gotta give u part 2 of my confessions
if i'm gonna tell it, then i gotta tell it all
damn I cried when i got that phone call
i'm so throwed, i dont know what to do
but to give you part 2 of my confessions
[JD]
if u got something to confess too right now, step to the mic... twista!
[Twista]
i confess about the incident
when i was with a shorty in the Lexus coupe
your homie said she saw me but she didnt have proof
but i knew i really shoulda been just telling you the truth
and i confess about the days
i was rolling my seville with the custom gold grill
i was in the field still looking for a thrill
and i knew it was bogus, so I shoulda kept it real
and i confess that
just when i thought i could really try to get away
with having other women on the side
but i never knew it would catch up wit a nigga one day
you gotta hear me girl, i don learned a lesson
if you stayed with me, then ita be a blessing
no stressing, and there'll never be no guessing
cuz i'm pulling out my heart and confessing
[Chorus]
these are my confessions
just when i thought i said all i can say
my chick on the side said
she got one on the way
these are my confessions
man i'm throwed and i dont know what to do
i guess i gotta give u part 2 of my confessions
if i'm gonna tell it, then i gotta tell it all
damn near cried when i got that phone call
i'm so throwed, i dont know what to do but to give you part 2 of my confessions
[Kanye West]
damn, how did she bring it up?
how did she break it down?
man, you at the clinic?
dog slow down, thats your child but if u keep it,
then u gotta tell your girl u was cheating
and you went raw dog when you beat it
thats when she gone tell you to beat it
and you know it aint ya'll little secret
you famous, you cant go no where
cuz every time u go there, theres hoes there
so basically, u and ur girl over
and i know when she broke the news
you told her man dont say that
matter fact like Pat, dont say jak
everytime my nigga sitting on paystacks
things come up from way, way, way back
way back, way back, way way way back
[Usher]
these are my confessions
just when i thought i said all i can say
my chick on the side said
she got one on the way
these are my confessions
man i'm throwed and I don't know what to do
i guess i gotta give u part 2 of my confessions
if i'm gonna tell it, then i gotta tell it all
damn near cried when i got that phone call
i'm so throwed, i don't know what to do
but to give you part 2 of my confessions
and this by far is the hardest thing i'll ever have to do
to tell you, the woman i love
that im having a baby by a woman i barely even know
I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this
and hopefully you'll give me another chance
This aint about my career
it's aint about my life
it's about us...please
