LYRICS

PAPA'Z SONG



Daddy's Home. . .

Intro (Tupac Speaking)

So... you say that like it means something to me. You've been gone a mighty long muthafuckin time for you to be comin' home talkin that 'daddy's home shit (Nigga). 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!

Verse 1 (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 well 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 striving to save my soul I stay cold drinkin a forty bottle I'm so sorry...

Chorus

I'm so sorry, for all this time (I'm so sorry), for all this time, for all this time. I'm so sorry, for all this time, for all this time, for all this time (so sorry baby).

Verse 2 (Wycked)

Moms had to entertain many men didn't wanna do it but it's 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 runaway 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 to 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

I'm so sorry, for all this time (I'm so sorry), for all this time, for all this time. I'm so sorry, for all this time, for all this time, for all this time (so sorry baby).

Verse 3 (Tupac)

Man child in the promise land couldn't form many heroes moms was there only when pop 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 runnin back. Ask about my moms like you loved her from the start, left her in the dark she fell apart with 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 stay the fuck away from me. I'm so sorry...

Chorus

I'm so sorry, for all this time (I'm so sorry), for all this time, for all this time. I'm so sorry, for all this time, for all this time, for all this time (so sorry baby).

Verse 4 (Tupac voice-over)

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 breathing had to be put out of range then. Had to move one lost my name and picked up 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...

Outro

I'm so sorry, for all this time (I'm so sorry), for all this time, for all this time. I'm so sorry, for all this time, for all this time, for all this time (so sorry baby). I'm so sorry, for all this time (I'm so sorry), for all this time, for all this time. I'm so sorry, for all this time, for all this time, for all this time (so sorry baby). Sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. (Fades).
