R. Kelly airs out his dirty laundry in a 19-minute song titled “I Admit.” On the raw and honest track, the R&B veteran opens up about everything including his sexual misconduct allegations, his music career, his financial struggles, being sexually abused a child and much, much more.

Check out excerpts from the song:

On his music career…
“I admit that I don’t own my music (I) / I admit that I wrote on my music (yeah) / Want it back but they don’t wanna do it (don’t wanna) / What the fuck nigga, I wrote that music (I) / I did that ‘Bump and Grind,’ I did that ’12 Play,’ I did that ‘Fed Up’ / I changed the damn game, so I deserve me a fair play, so put some respect on my damn name (fair).”

On being sexually abused as a child…
“Now, I admit a family member touched me (touched me, touched me, touched me) / From a child to the age 14, yeah / While I laid asleep, took my virginity (sleep, gini’) / So scared to say something, so I just put the blame on me.”

On his alleged sex cult…
“What’s the definition of a cult? / Whats the definition of a sex slave? / Go to the dictionary, look it up / Let me know I’ll be here waiting.”

“I admit that this is no disrespect to the parents (no disrespect) / But this is my advice to you ’cause I’m also a parent (parent) / Don’t push your daughter in my face, and tell me that it’s okay (my face, okay) / ‘Cause your agenda is to get paid, and get mad when it don’t go your way (yeah, go way).”

On his financial struggle…
“I admit I had to borrow a couple of M’s from the label (label) / All these hits out but I couldn’t put food on the table (table) / I was told I had to sell my cars, I was told I couldn’t get a loan (cars, loans) / Said I owed 20 million to the IRS and they were coming to get my home (oh, oh) / I admit I was feeling stupid, standing the home wood seats (no disrespect) / Sippin’ Hennessy, tryna figure out what happened to me (happened to me).”
