Papa`s Song Lyrics

Papa`s Song

[Featuring Wycked]
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 be 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, guns unlike
people
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 [uhh] shit ends quick
How can I be a man if there's no role
model
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
could afford many
???
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 grabbed your coat,
leathers broke
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
lost too many people every house ?of which was
haunted?
had to watch the strangers
every brother was in danger
If I
was to keep you breathin had to have you out of range
Had to move one to
lost my name to beat the number
maybe watch my back I had no happy home to
run to
Maybe it's my fault for being a father living fast
But livin slow,
we'd have no dough ????
??? 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
