Usher – Confessions Part II Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Hey
Hey, what's up?
That's you?
Yeah, listen

Baby, I know we said it's best we don't talk no more
But I got to get it off my chest 'bout all the sh- I've been hearing, 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 will be with for life
I took in your kid, did everything that you wanted me to
Now I'm hear'n a lil' sh- 'bout you frontin' on radio interviews

Do it make you feel good to lie, even though I know you wanna cry?
Hey, if you gon' tell it, then you should've told everything instead of makin' me the bad guy
If you got nothing good to say then don't, say nothing
'Cause if I really start talking, it'll be somethin'
So you cheated, I cheated, so be it
We need to leave it alone, move on
Hold up

Hello, you got a collect call from Clinton Correctional Facility
Will you accept the charges?
Yes, I'll accept it
What's up?

Sittin' in my cell, head about to burst
Wouldn't be alive if I didn't - first
Had it made, sorry for the ricochet
But I'd be in the grave if I didn't let it spray
I never said that I was perfect (yeah)
Nobody walkin' on this Earth is (that's right)
That night, I would've got murdered
If I ain't grab the ratchet and let them cowards have it, yeah

Listen up, listen up, listen up, world
Listen up, listen up, listen up, world
Huh, I gotta confess
This the hottest remix I ever did in my life
So So Def

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 you part two of my confessions

If I'm gonna tell it, then I gotta tell it all (all)
Damn near cried when I got that phone call (call)
I'm so throwed, I don't know what to do
But to give part two of my confessions

I confess about the incident when I was with a shorty in the Lexus coupe
Your homie said she saw me, but she didn't have proof
But I knew I really should've been just tellin' you the truth
And I confess about the days I was rollin' my Seville with the custom gold grill
I was in the field, still looking for a thrill
And I knew it was bogus, I should've kept it real

And I confess that
Just when I thought I could really try to get away
Or have another woman on the side
But I never knew that it would catch up wit' a - one day
You gotta hear me, girl, I done learned a lesson
If you stay with me, then it'll be a blessing
No stressing, it'll never be no guessin'
'Cause I'm pourin' out my heart and these are my

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 (rock with me)
These are my confessions
Man, I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give you part two of my confessions

If I'm gonna tell it, then I gotta tell it all (all)
Damn near cried when I got that phone call (call)
I'm so throwed, I don't know what to do
But to give part two of my confessions

Damn, how did she bring it up? How did she break it down?
Man, you at the clinic? Dog, slow down, that's your child
But if you keep it, then you gotta tell your girl you was cheatin'
And you went raw dog when you beat it
That's when she gon' tell you to beat it

And you know it ain't y'all little secret
You famous, you can't go nowhere
'Cause every time you go, there's h- there
So basically, you and your girl over
And I know when she broke the news, you told her, "Man, don't say that"
Matter fact, like Pat, don't say jack
Every time a - sittin' on pay stacks things come up from way, way, way back
Way back, way back
Way, way back, way back

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 (rock with me)
These are my confessions
Man, I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give you part two of my confessions

If I'm gonna tell it, then I gotta tell it all (all)
Damn near cried when I got that phone call (call)
I'm so throwed, I don't know what to do
But to give part two of my confessions

This by far is the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do (yeah)
To tell you, the woman I love (uh-huh)
That I'm having a baby by a woman that I barely even know (yeah)
I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this (she probably can't)
And hopefully you'll give me another chance (she might)

About This Song

"Confessions Part II" is a raw, emotionally devastating R&B ballad that explores the psychological torment of infidelity and its catastrophic consequences. The song serves as the climactic revelation in Usher's confessional narrative, where the protagonist discovers his affair has resulted in an unplanned pregnancy, forcing him to confront the complete destruction of his relationship and moral standing. Usher's vocal delivery oscillates between anguished vulnerability and desperate panic, perfectly capturing the internal chaos of someone whose lies have spiraled beyond control. The production, built around a haunting piano loop and subtle strings, creates an intimate, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that mirrors the protagonist's trapped emotional state. What makes the track particularly powerful is its unflinching examination of masculine accountability-rather than making excuses, the narrator is forced to face the full weight of his betrayal and its ripple effects. The song's confessional format feels like an internal monologue, as if listeners are witnessing someone's complete psychological breakdown in real-time. It resonated deeply with audiences because it portrayed infidelity not as glamorous or consequence-free, but as a source of genuine anguish and moral reckoning. The track's success lay in its brutal honesty about relationship destruction, offering a rare mainstream R&B song that centered male vulnerability and accountability rather than bravado.
