Happy Birthday |
Happy Birthday...so make a wish |
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been |
Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin? |
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys. |
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes? |
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex |
Choosing our life over your life meant your death |
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes |
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life? |
Would you have been a little genius in love with math? |
Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad? |
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper? |
Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters? |
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose? |
And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow? |
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen |
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been |
Happy birthday... |
All I thought was a dream (make a wish) |
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday) |
All I thought was a dream (make a wish) |
Was as real as it seemed |
I made a mistake! |
I've got a millon excuses to why you died |
Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide |
Who's to say it woulda worked, and who's to say it wouldn't have? |
I was young and strugglin' but old enough to be your dad |
The fear of being a father has never disappeared |
Pondering frequently while I'm zippin' on my beer |
My vision of a family was artificial and fake |
So when it came time to create I made a mistake |
Now you've got a little brother maybe he's really you? |
Maybe you really forgave us knowin' we was confused? |
Maybe everytime that he smiles it's you proudly knowin' |
that your father's doin' the right thing now? |
I never tell a woman what to do with her body |
But if she don't love children then we can't party |
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen |
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been |
Happy birthday... |
All I thought was a dream (make a wish) |
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday) |
All I thought was a dream (yeah, make a wish) |
Was as real as it seemed |
I made a mistake! |
And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again |
From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin |
Maybe one day we could meet face to face? |
In a place without time and space |
Happy birthday... |
From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again |
From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin |
Maybe one day we could meet face to face? |
In a place without time and space |
Happy birthday... |
All I thought was a dream (make a wish) |
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday) |
All I thought was a dream (make a wish) |
Was as real as it seemed |
I made a mistake...! |
