2Pac, Wycked - Papa'z Song(1993)

[00:00.06] Daddy's home...
[00:02.42] Heh, so?
[00:03.72] You say that like that means somethin to me
[00:05.63] You've been gone a mighty long motherfuckin time
[00:08.41] For you to be comin home talkin that "daddy's home" shit (nigga)
[00:12.07] We been gettin along fine just without you
[00:14.32] Me, my brother, and my mother
[00:17.23] So if you don't mind, you can step the FUCK off, POPS. fuck you!
[00:22.23] Had to play catch by myself, what a sorry sight
[00:24.78] A pitiful plight, so I pray for a starry night
[00:27.55] Please send me a pops before puberty
[00:29.69] The things I wouldn't do to see a piece of family unity
[00:32.64] Moms always work, I barely see her
[00:35.09] I'm startin to get worried without a pops I'll grow to be her
[00:38.27] It's a wonder they don't understand kids today
[00:40.88] So when I pray, I pray I'll never grow to be that way
[00:44.18] And I hope that he answers me
[00:46.70] I heard God don't like ugly well take a look at my family
[00:50.03] A different father every weekend
[00:52.47] Before we get to meet him they break up before the week ends
[00:55.76] I'm gettin sick of all the friendships
[00:57.86] As soon as we kick it he done split and the whole shit ends quick
[01:01.11] How can I be a man if there's no role model?
[01:03.64] Strivin to save my soul I stay cold drinkin a forty bottle
[01:07.02] I'm so sorry...
[01:09.37] I'm so sorry
[01:12.01] For all this time (I'm so sorry)
[01:14.55] For all this time
[01:17.68] For all this time (don't lie)
[01:19.33] I'm so sorry
[01:20.69] For all this time (so, sorry)
[01:22.65] For all this time
[01:25.16] For all this time, so sorry baby!
[01:28.81] Moms had to entertain many men
[01:31.08] Didn't wanna do it but it's time to pay the rent again
[01:33.87] I'm gettin a bit older and I'm startin to be a bother
[01:36.59] Moms can't stand me cause I'm lookin like my father
[01:39.31] Should I stay or run away, tell me the answer
[01:42.00] Moms ignores me and avoids me like cancer
[01:44.82] Grow up rough and it's hard to understand stuff
[01:47.89] Moms was tough cause his poppa wasn't man enough
[01:50.36] Couldn't stand up to his own responsibilities
[01:53.32] Instead of takin care of me, he'd rather live lavishly
[01:55.93] That's why I'll never be a father;
[01:58.55] Unless you got the time it's a crime don't even bother
[02:01.90] (That's when I started hatin the phony smiles
[02:04.61] Said I was an only child)
[02:06.14] Look at mama's lonely smile
[02:07.70] It's hard for a son to see his mother cry
[02:10.04] She only loves you, but has to fuck with these other guys
[02:13.22] I'm so sorry...
[02:15.57] I'm so sorry
[02:17.11] For all this time
[02:18.63] For all this time
[02:21.12] For all this time
[02:23.73] I'm so sorry
[02:26.31] For all this time
[02:29.44] For all this time (so sorry)
[02:31.88] For all this time, so sorry baby!
[02:35.61] Man child in the promised land couldn't afford many heroes
[02:37.78] Moms was the only one there my pops was a no-show
[02:41.18] And ohh -I guess ya didn't know
[02:43.15] That I would grow to be so strong
[02:44.94] Lookin kinda pale, was it the ale oh pops was wrong
[02:47.39] Where was the money that you said, you would send me
[02:50.04] Talked on the phone and you sounded so friendly
[02:52.61] Ask about school and my welfare
[02:54.99] But it's clear, you ain't sincere hey who the hell cares
[02:57.75] You think I'm blind but this time I see you comin, Jack
[03:00.62] You grabbed your coat, left us broke, now ain't no runnin back
[03:03.52] Ask about my moms like you loved her from the start
[03:05.84] Left her in the dark, she fell apart from a broken heart
[03:08.68] So don't even start with that "wanna be your father" shit
[03:11.64] Don't even bother with your dollars I don't need it
[03:14.38] I'll bury moms like you left me all alone G
[03:17.14] Now that that I finally found you, stay the Fuck away from me
[03:20.24] You're so sorry.
[03:21.69] I'm so sorry (so sorry)
[03:22.39] For all this time (so, so sorry)
[03:24.65] For all this time (I'm so so sorry)
[03:27.84] For all this time (fuck that!)
[03:30.91] I'm so sorry
[03:32.53] For all this time (no)
[03:36.76] For all this time (so sorry)
[03:38.85] For all this time, so sorry baby!
[03:42.15] I never meant to leave but I was wanted
[03:44.30] Crossed too many people every house I'd touch was haunted
[03:47.26] Had to watch the strangers every brother was in danger
[03:50.10] If I was to keep you breathin, had to be out of range-a
[03:52.89] Had to move, one to lost my name and pick the number
[03:55.06] Made me watch my back I had no happy home to run to
[03:58.48] Maybe it's my fault for being a father livin fast
[04:00.77] But livin slow, mean half the dough, and you won't get no ass
[04:03.32] Hindsight shows me it was wrong all along
[04:06.62] I wanted to make some dough so you would grow to be so strong
[04:09.87] It took a little longer than I thought
[04:12.26] I slipped, got caught, and sent to jail by the courts
[04:14.64] Now I'm doin time and I wish you'd understand
[04:18.16] All I ever wanted was for you to be a man
[04:20.91] And grow to be the type you was meant to be
[04:23.66] Keep the war fightin by the writings that you sent to me
[04:26.58] I'm so sorry...
[04:40.66]
