Papa’z Song (Vibe Tribe Remix)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: 2Pac & Poppi] I had to play catch by myself, what a sorry sight A pitiful plight, so I pray, poor sorry night Please send me a pops before puberty The things I would do to see a piece of family unity My 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 trip ends quick How can I be a man if there's no role model? I'm strivin' to save my soul, I stay cold, drinkin' a forty bottle (I'm so sorry) I'm sorry [Chorus: Poppi] I'm so sorry For all this time (For all this time) For all this time For all this time I'm so sorry For all this time For all this time For all this time Feel so sorry, baby [Verse 2: Mopreme, 2Pac, Mopreme & 2Pac] 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 papa 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: Poppi] I'm so sorry For all this times (For all this time) For all this times (I'm sorry, boy) For all this times Don't you know? I'm so sorry (Your daddy's here now) For all this times (And forgive me) For all this times For all this times Feel so sorry, baby [Verse 3: 2Pac & Poppi] Man child in the promised land, can't afford many heroes Moms was the only one there, my pops was a no-show And, oh, I guess you didn't know That I would grow to be so strong Lookin' kinda pale, was it the ale, or pops was wrong? Where was the money that you said you would send me? Talked on the phone and you sounded so friendly Askin' 'bout 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 it comin', Jack You grabbed your coat, left us broke, now ain't no runnin' back Askin' 'bout 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-a-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 I finally found you, stay the fuck away from me (I'm so sorry) I'm sorry, huh [Chorus: Poppi] I'm so sorry (Sorry) For all this time (So, so, so sorry) For all this time (I'm so, so sorry) For all this time I'm so sorry For all this time (So, so, so sorry) For all this time (So, so, sorry) For all this time So sorry, baby (Sorry) [Verse 4: 2Pac & Poppi] I never meant to leave, but I was wanted Crossed too many people, every house I'd touch was haunted Had to watch for strangers, every of 'em was a danger If I wanted to to keep you breathin', had to be out of range-ah Had to move on, done lost my name and picked a number Made me watch my back, I had no happy home to run to Maybe it's my fault for bein' 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 Grow to be the titan you was meant to be Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me (I'm so sorry) I'm so sorry [Chorus: Poppi & 2Pac] I'm so sorry (S-s-sorry) For all this time (So, sorry) For all this time (Ticka-ticka-ticka, sorry) For all this time (Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me) I'm so sorry, help me I'm so sorry (So, sorry) For all this time (S-s-s-so sorry) For all this time (So, sorry) For all this time (Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me) I'm so— I'm so— I'm so— I'm so— (Feel so sorry, baby) [Outro: Poppi] I'm so sorry I'm so sorry
