Papa'z Song

Daddy's home...



[tupac speaking]





So...you say that like it means somethin to me

You've been gone a mighty long muthafuckin time

For you to be comin home talkin that 'daddy's home' shit

We been getting along fine just without you

Me, my brother, and my mother

So if you don't mind, you can step the fuck off, pops

Fuck you!





(tupac)





Had to play catch by myself

What a sorry sight

A pitiful plight

So i pray for a starry night

Please send me a pops before puberty

The things i would do to see a piece of family unity

Moms always work, i barely see her

I'm startin to get worried without a pops i'll grow to beat her

It's a wonder they don't understand kids today

So when i pray, i pray i'll never grow to be that way

And i hope that he answers me

I heard, god don't like ugly

Take a look at my family

A different father every weekend

Before we get to meet him they breakup before the week ends

I'm gettin sick of all the friendships

As soon as we kick it, he done split

And then the whole trip ends quick

How can i be a man if there's no role model

I'm strivin to save my soul i stay cold drinkin a forty bottle

I'm so sorry...





(chorus)





I'm so sorry

For all this time

For all this time

For all this time





(wycked)





Moms had to entertain many men

Didn't wanna do it but it's time to pay the rent again

I'm gettin a bit older and i'm startin to be a bother

Moms can't stand me cause i'm lookin like my father

Shall i stay or run away

Tell me tha answer

Moms ignores me and avoids me like cancer

Grow up rough and it's hard to understand stuff

Moms was tough cause it's poppa wasn't man enough

Couldn't stand up to his own responsibilities

Instead of takin care of me

He'd rather live lavishly

That'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 smiles

Said i was an only child

[look at mama's lonely smile]

It's hard for a son to see his mother cry

She only loves you, but has to fuck with these other guys





(chorus x2)





I'm so sorry

For all this time

For all this time

For all this time





(tupac)

Man child in the promised land

Couldn't form many heroes

Moms was there only when pops was a no-show

And oh

I guess ya didn't know that i would grow to be so strong

Lookin kinda pale was it the ale that pops was wrong

Where was the money that you sent you would send me

Talked on the phone and ya sounded so friendly

Ask about school and my welfare

But it's clear, you ain't sincere

Hey, who the hell cares

You think i'm blind but this time i see ya comin, jack

You left up broke, grabbed your coat

Now ain't no runnin back

Ask about my moms like you loved her from the start

Left her in the dark, she fell apart from a broken heart

So don't even start with that 'wanna be your father' shit

Don't even bother with your dollars i don't need it

I'll bury moms like you left me all alone g

Now that that i finally found you,

Stay the fuck away from me

I'm so sorry...





(chorus x2)





I'm so sorry

For all this time

For all this time

For all this time





(tupac voiceover)





I never meant to leave but i was wanted

Crossed too many people every house ran to was haunted

Had to watch for strangers

Every brother was in danger

If i wanted keep you breathin

Had to be out of range, then

Had to move one, lost my name and picked a number

Baby watch my back i had no happy home to run ta

Maybe it's my fault for being a father living fast

But livin slow, we'd have no dough, low to kissing ass

In hiensight showed me it was wrong all along

I wanted to make some dough so you could grow to be so strong

It took a little longer than i thought

I slipped, got caught, and sent to jail by the courts

Now i'm doin time and i wish you'd understand

All i ever wanted was for you to be a man

And grow to be the type you was meant to be

Keep the war fightin by the writings that you sent to me

I'm so sorry...





(chorus repeated till end)





I'm so sorry

For all this time

For all this time

For all this time
