Tupac - Papa'z Song lyrics

rate me

Daddy's home...

Heh, so?

You say that like that means somethin to me

You've been gone a mighty long motherfuckin time

for you to be comin home talkin that "daddy's home" shit (nigga)

We been gettin 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!

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 wouldn't 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 God don't like ugly well take a look at my family

A different father every weekend

Before we get to meet him they break up before the week ends

I'm gettin sick of all the friendships

As soon as we kick it he done split and the whole 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 (I'm so sorry)

for all this time

for all this time (don't lie)

I'm so sorry

for all this time (so, sorry)

for all this time

for all this time, so sorry baby!

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

Should I stay or run away, tell me the answer

Moms ignores me and avoids me like cancer

Grow up rough and it's hard to understand stuff

Moms was tough cause his 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

I'm so sorry...

[Chorus]

I'm so sorry

for all this time

for all this time

for all this time

I'm so sorry

for all this time

for all this time (so sorry)

for all this time, so sorry baby!

Man child in the promised land couldn't afford many heroes

Moms was the only one there my pops was a no-show

And ohh -I guess ya didn't know

that I would grow to be so strong

Lookin kinda pale, was it the ale oh pops was wrong

Where was the money that you said, you would send me

talked on the phone and you 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 you comin, Jack

You grabbed your coat, left us 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

You'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 sorry

for all this time (no)

for all this time (so sorry)

for all this time, so sorry baby!

I never meant to leave but I was wanted

Crossed too many people every house I'd touch was haunted

Had to watch the strangers every brother was in danger

If I was to keep you breathin, had to be out of range-a

Had to move, one to lost my name and pick the number

Made me watch my back I had no happy home to run to

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

But livin slow, mean half the dough, and you won't get no ass

Hindsight shows me it was wrong all along

I wanted to make some dough so you would 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...<br />

<br />

Thanks to feel
