Confessions Part II
"Confessions Part II" is a song by R&B singer Usher, produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox for Usher's fourth album Confessions. Written by Usher, Dupri and Cox, the song is a confession of a man to his woman about his impregnated mistress, a continuation of "Confessions Part I" which relates to a man's infidelity. Its personal content evoked rumors and early responses from the public even before its release, believing that Usher was asserting the truth; however, Dupri divulged that the story behind the album is his and Usher explained that he only took inspiration from his friends' similar experiences.
"Confessions Part II" received mixed reviews from critics. The song was released as the third single from the album, following the success of "Burn". The single reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, becoming the album's third consecutive number-one single. Internationally, the single had lesser success than the album's previous releases.

Confessions Part 2
by: UsherWatch this
These are my confessions just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one other way
These are my confessions, man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give part two 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 two of my confessions
Now this gon' be the hardest thing I think I ever had to do
Got me talkin' to myself askin', how I'm gon' tell you?
'Bout that chick on part one, I told ya'll I was creepin' with, creepin' with
Said she's three months pregnant and she's keepin' it
The first thing that came to mind was you
Second thing was how do I know if it's mine and is it true?
Third thing was me wishin' that I never did what I did
How I ain't ready for no kid and bye bye to our relationship
These are my confessions just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said, she got one other way
These are my confessions man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do now
I guess I gotta give part two of my confession, oh
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 two of my confessions
Sittin' here stuck on stupid, tryna figure out
When, what and how I'ma let this come out of my mouth?
Said, it ain't gon' be easy but I need to stop thinkin', contemplatin'
Be a man and get it over with, over with
I'm ridin' in my whip racin' to her place
Talkin' to myself preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't wanna come near me
I said, "One second baby, please hear me"
These are my confessions just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said, she got one other way
These are my confessions, man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give part two 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 two of my confessions
This by far is the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do
To tell you, the woman I love
That I'm having a baby by a woman that 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 ain't about my career, this ain't about my life, it's about us, please
These are my confessions just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said, she got one other way
These are my confessions, man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do
I guess I gotta give part two 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
