"Mistakes" Songtext
von AKA

Oh-oh-oh, la la la la
Gather round, gather round people
Uh, I′m about to tell you my story
In fact it could be your story
Her story
History in the making
A-K-A (mistakes)

Excuse me young love
I know I made a few mistakes in my life
But I'ma do whatever it takes to get right
So if there′s anything you thinking that I
Should know, before we fall in love
Before we fall in love

Chilling like
In my B-boy stats
With my back to the wall 'cause real Gs don't dance
I got my drink and my two step, my lingo back
Me and my niggas we do it bigger than Rilo′s ass
Suddenly I′m like, "Goddamn who is that?"


Couple of drinks later, acquainted in the house to be an entertainer
My boy knows her from around the way
Told me, "She's my cousins friend"
Anyway it′s a long story

So of course we exchange numbers, it's all gravy
For the album on Facebook like all baby
Second time look at her face like boy take me
Took her upstairs and hit it with no safety

Uh uh, stupid decisions I made
Why you think this track is called mistakes?
I was thinking I could just hit it and never catch feelings
She asks me, "How′s about we start to date?" I start thinking (mistakes)

Excuse me young love
I know I made a few mistakes in my life
But I'ma do whatever it takes to get right
So if′s there anything you thinking that I
Should know before we fall in love
Before we fall in love

And uh
Now we getting more serious
Far past the honeymoon period
We joining at the hips somebody I can just kick it with
She got me buying gifts, niggas telling me that I'm whipped


Of course the haters gon' talk and I tried to dismiss it as lips
The more I′m disliking this shit I find the deeper I dig
Now what the fuck am I supposed to believe?
When she attended more award shows than I did?

Now all I got is this jealousy and a bottle of Tennesee
Old number 17 ′cause I can't afford Hennesey
Now it all makes sense to me
As I wind my memory back
That′s why she acted all shy when we ran into rappers

I guess she was thinking the past wouldn't catch up
But now I got to deal with the results of her actions
I bet the niggas is laughing
Fucking with inexperience, this is what happens
Aw man! (Mistakes)

Excuse me young love
I know I made a few mistakes in my life
But I′ma do whatever it takes to get right
So if's there anything you thinking that I
Should know before we fall in love
Before we fall in love

Oh, now you in the shits
Do you love me? Or love all the attention you get?
When you step to the door and your name is on the list
And who you slept with before really isn′t my biz
But I'm curious! Ha-ha
I wanna know what's on your mind

She told me, "Baby ain′t nobody perfect" but you changed me
Made me into a better person, plus I ain′t done nothing to play you
And I stayed hundred percent faithful
Just went through all the insecurities the young girls do
"Trying to find the attention, missing at an all girls school"

"But I never hit you up like all the bitches on Facebook"
"Now look, if that's all behind you"
"Then I guess I can look past it if try to"
"And I don′t want to spend my time fighting the night through" (mistakes)

Excuse me young love
I know I made a few mistakes in my life
But I'ma do whatever it takes to get right
So if′s there anything you thinking that I
Should know before we fall in love
Before we fall in love

Oh, oh, la-la-la-la
Oh, oh, la-la-la-la

Oh, oh, la-la-la-la
Oh, oh, la-la-la-la
