"I work my (expletive) off to provide for my entire family," Brown wrote in a Twitter rant Tuesday. "I've made mistakes in the past and have worked hard to be a better person."
The singer went on to outline the age he was charged with a criminal act, while acknowledging his growth.
"19-24 years of age. I don't have all the answers and you can't show me a person that age who has it figured out," Brown tweeted. "We live and grow. Let me live."
Brown ended his rant by tweeting the scripture, "2 Corinthians 12:10." The scripture in the New International Bible states, "That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
Sources close to the singer have reportedly said that his current life is taking a toll on him. After constantly being accused of wrongdoing, Brown may be looking to lead a normal life.
"He can't go anywhere, can't do anything, can't eat, can't take a leak without somebody trying to accuse him of something," a source close to Brown reportedly told HollywoodLife.com. "Sometimes he wishes he was just an average person working at the Post Office, because at least then, people wouldn't be trying to [mess] with him. … At least he would have freedom. Life is already hard; sometime the fame makes [things] even harder."
