can't understand the whole phrase
the offsping - self esteem

Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit

is there one sentence ore two? is it chained or not?

now i will relate that this happens more often than i'd like to admit

правильный ли это перевод?:
теперь я к этому немного привык.
но это происходит чаще чем я готов принять

но вроде бы так бессмысленно получается, наверное правильней так?:
теперь я привык к тому что это происходит чаще чем я готов принять

Answer

The "little bit" is slang for a short story or anecdote. "Relate" here means to tell such a story.

It's one sentence; the line break is there to feature the rhyme.

Rephrased: "Now I'll tell you about something that happens more often than I'd like to admit."

Answer

They are sang, one right after the other, but no they are not a sentence. Here is an example from that song:

"Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Oh I know I should say no but
It's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem"

This is an example of a verse in a song. Hope this helps.
