He's more perceptive than we had imagined!

Chris Brown has come a long way since giving Rihanna an epic beatdown, but the singer is still trying to explain his past behavior and gain the public's sympathy back.

"People make mistakes, I've made mistakes, I've judged people who made mistakes, and they judge me back. The best part about it is me having to learn. I think I had a great time, like I didn't have a great time at all, but it was a great lesson for me to learn. I thank God he had something bigger for me to do," he admitted.

Breezy is the first to acknowledge that his inflated ego was his biggest problem, too! "The mindset I was in when I was younger, it was full of arrogance like 'Yeah I'm an a**hole like, so what f*** it, I got money. At the end of the day everybody knows right from wrong," he confessed.

In typical fashion, though, CB was quick to whine about how he gets treated unfairly in the media.

"As a man you deal with adolescence and you deal with peer pressure a lot. People talk about me being in gangs and affiliated, but they don't talk about the nice things I do like bring 5,000 sneakers to Crenshaw high school South-Central or Campanella park or different neighborhoods that are in the inner cities. Nobody cares about it unless it's glorified in the rap music. You don't have to like me. And what I do is for my art. I'm only going to be passionate for what I want to do," he lamented.

We've seen him in concert and we can't deny he's got major talent, but he should stick to performing and keep his mouth shut!
