Part of the Plan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you're damn right, this the way I am
I'm tryna be like, now I know that I didn't need it
Said, I didn't need it
I tried to do right, but I lost my cool
And I don't understand why it had to be you
It got to me
I let it get to me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
And they be bringin' shit up, I can't fight
And they always need a bad guy
I just laugh when I think about it
It feels like I ran out of time
And you came along, changed my life
Changed my life
And yeah, you showed me that I'm, showed me that I'm royalty

[Chorus]
When you look at my past, I need you to understand it
Wasn't part of my plan
Wasn't part of my plan
Why you gotta go treat me like that?
Gotta be better, but you didn't like that
Wasn't part of my plan
Wasn't part of my plan

[Verse 2]
Give it up, but it wasn't enough to please you
So I'm livin' it up, ooh, yeah-yeah
I just don't give a fuck, ooh, yeah-yeah
Keep myself out of love, oh-oh
But you wanted a show, oh-oh
So I'm livin' it up, ooh, yeah-yeah
Baby, I don't give a fuck, ooh, yeah-yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
And they be bringin' shit up, I can't fight
And they always need a bad guy
I just laugh when I think about it
It feels like I ran out of time
And you came along, changed my life
Changed my life
And yeah, you showed me that I'm, showed me that I'm royalty

[Chorus]
When you look at my past, I need you to understand it
Wasn't part of my plan
Wasn't part of my plan
Why you gotta go treat me like that?
Gotta be better, but you didn't like that
Wasn't part of my plan
Wasn't part of my plan

[Outro]
Give it up, but it wasn't enough to please you
So I'm livin' it up, ooh, yeah-yeah
I just don't give a fuck, ooh, yeah-yeah
Keep myself out of love, oh-oh
But you wanted a show, oh-oh
So I'm livin' it up, ooh, yeah-yeah
Baby, I don't give a fuck, ooh, yeah-yeah (Yeah)

“Part of the Plan” is a deeply personal track in which Chris spills out his heart once again about his past with Rihanna, explaining one more time that his actions against her were not how he intended things to go.

While the track for the most part talks about Chris' past and people’s constant judgment of him, there is a turning point in the pre-chorus: his daughter Royalty. Despite his past mistakes, Royalty changed Chris' life and made him a better man; making him more than his past.
