Happy Birthday...so make a wish
Verse 1:
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...
Chorus:
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!
Verse 2:
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...
Chorus:
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...
Chorus:
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...!
