| 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...
