| Daddy's home... | |
| [2Pac] | |
| Heh, so? | |
| You say that like that means somethin to me | |
| You've been gone a mighty long mother****in 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 **** off, POPS.. **** you! | |
| [2Pac] | |
| 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! | |
| [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 | |
| 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 **** 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! | |
| [2Pac] | |
| 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 **** 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 (**** that!) | |
| I'm so sorry | |
| for all this time (no) | |
| for all this time (so sorry) | |
| for all this time, so sorry baby! | |
| [Tupac - impersonating his father] | |
| 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... | |
| [Chorus w/ variations til end] |
