Papa'z song
Heh, so?You say that like that means somethin to meYou've been gone a mighty long motherfuckin timefor you to be comin home talkin that "daddy's home" shit (nigga)We been gettin along fine just without youMe, my brother, and my motherSo if you don't mind, you can step the FUCK off, POPS.. fuck you!
[2Pac]Had to play catch by myself, what a sorry sightA pitiful plight, so I pray for a starry nightPlease send me a pops before pubertythe things I wouldn't do to see a piece of family unityMoms always work, I barely see herI'm startin to get worried without a pops I'll grow to be herIt's a wonder they don't understand kids todayso when I pray, I pray I'll never grow to be that wayAnd I hope that he answers meI heard God don't like ugly well take a look at my familyA different father every weekendBefore we get to meet him they break up before the week endsI'm gettin sick of all the friendshipsAs soon as we kick it he done split and the whole shit ends quickHow can I be a man if there's no role model?Strivin to save my soul I stay cold drinkin a forty bottleI'm so sorry...
[Chorus]I'm so sorryfor all this time (I'm so sorry)for all this timefor all this time (don't lie)I'm so sorryfor all this time (so, sorry)for all this timefor all this time, so sorry baby!
[Wycked]Moms had to entertain many menDidn't wanna do it but it's time to pay the rent againI'm gettin a bit older and I'm startin to be a botherMoms can't stand me cause I'm lookin like my fatherShould I stay or run away, tell me the answerMoms ignores me and avoids me like cancerGrow up rough and it's hard to understand stuffMoms was tough cause his poppa wasn't man enoughCouldn't stand up to his own responsibilitiesInstead of takin care of me, he'd rather live lavishlyThat's why I'll never be a father;unless you got the time it's a crime don't even bother(That's when I started hatin the phony smilesSaid I was an only child)Look at mama's lonely smileIt's hard for a son to see his mother cryShe only loves you, but has to fuck with these other guysI'm so sorry...
[Chorus]I'm so sorryfor all this timefor all this timefor all this timeI'm so sorryfor all this timefor all this time (so sorry)for all this time, so sorry baby!
[2Pac]Man child in the promised land couldn't afford many heroesMoms was the only one there my pops was a no-showAnd ohh -I guess ya didn't knowthat I would grow to be so strongLookin kinda pale, was it the ale oh pops was wrongWhere was the money that you said, you would send metalked on the phone and you sounded so friendlyAsk about school and my welfarebut it's clear, you ain't sincere hey who the hell caresYou think I'm blind but this time I see you comin, JackYou grabbed your coat, left us broke, now ain't no runnin backAsk about my moms like you loved her from the startLeft her in the dark, she fell apart from a broken heartSo don't even start with that "wanna be your father" shitDon't even bother with your dollars I don't need itI'll bury moms like you left me all alone GNow that that I finally found you, stay the Fuck away from meYou're so sorry..
[Chorus]I'm so sorry (so sorry)for all this time (so, so sorry)for all this time (I'm so so sorry)for all this time (fuck that!)I'm so sorryfor all this time (no)for all this time (so sorry)for all this time, so sorry baby!
[Tupac - impersonating his father]I never meant to leave but I was wantedCrossed too many people every house I'd touch was hauntedHad to watch the strangers every brother was in dangerIf I was to keep you breathin, had to be out of range-aHad to move, one to lost my name and pick the numberMade me watch my back I had no happy home to run toMaybe it's my fault for being a father livin fastBut livin slow, mean half the dough, and you won't get no assHindsight shows me it was wrong all alongI wanted to make some dough so you would grow to be so strongIt took a little longer than I thoughtI slipped, got caught, and sent to jail by the courtsNow I'm doin time and I wish you'd understandall I ever wanted was for you to be a manand grow to be the type you was meant to beKeep the war fightin by the writings that you sent to meI'm so sorry...
[Chorus w/ variations til end]
