Papa Can You Hear Me?

(альбом: Uncle B - 2008)

[Tulisa (Dappy):]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
(D.A.P.'s to the Y)
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
(Na na frickin')
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
And this is for my dad, Uncle B

[Dappy {Tulisa}:]
Yeah, I don't mean to bore, you know my name (Yeah)
Chill for a second, just hear my pain ({Oh}, oi)
If you've lost any loved ones, you'll feel what I'm saying
I hope it's peaceful, down there where they laying
When someone you loved, who brought you up from the start (Huh)
Built you up and made you into who you are (Uh)
Always believed, saying that you'll be a star
Then all of a sudden, they just passed {Oh, oh}
He dashed the reaper from on top of my wardrobe
Slap them crack rocks out of my mouth (Boom)
Put me on a stage in front of a crowd
Now we're picking up awards while he's under the ground (Ah)
My daddy this, and my daddy that (What?)
Well, I found mine dead on a couch in my flat {Oh}
So much to say, I wish I could have said "bye"
The only time I'll talk to him is when I look into the sky ({Oh, oh}, yeah)

[Dappy:]
All I've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue cracked down Nokia
Things in my house still smell of ya
All I wanna say is that

[Dappy {Tulisa}:]
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me, {oh})
I regret every bad thing that I said (That I said)
Please forgive me if you hear me (Hear me, {oh})
Never knew how much I loved ya 'til you was dead ('Til you was dead, {oh-oh})
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me)
If only you knew what you went and done (Went and done)
Please forgive me if you hear me
See, all I know is I'm proud to be your son (Be your son, {oh-oh})
Papa, if you can hear me

[Fazer {Tulisa}:]
There ain't a way in the world this is how I thought this would end up
If it wasn't for you, B, there wouldn't be N-Dubz
Kept us together, never knowing we'd end up
Moving onto MOBO's, pushing the Benz up (Ha)
You pushed and pushed when no one wanted to believe (Uh)
But back then, it was all a dream
It's like we sacrificed your life (Ah)
For the love of success and a life full of stress {Oh-oh}
I'm vexed 'cah
First, they love you, second, they hate you (Straight)
They talked about you when they tried to play you (Benders)
Behind your back, they were trying betray you
But, B, I never had a chance to repay you
For the things you done for me (Uh), put me on the right path
Kept me from steering left, yeah, we had a right laugh {Oh}
But now I'm feeling like Bruce Willis
Each and every day, B, I really wanna die hard {Oh-oh}

[Dappy (Dappy & Tulisa):]
All I've got is these (pictures of ya)
And your light blue (cracked down Nokia)
Things in my house still smell of ya
All I wanna say is that

[Dappy {Tulisa} *Both*:]
*Papa, if you can hear me* (Hear me, {oh})
I regret every bad thing that I said {That I said, that I said}
Please forgive me if you hear me (Hear me, {ooh-whoa})
Never knew how much I loved ya 'til you was dead ('Til you was dead)
{If only you}
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me)
If only you knew what you went and done (Went and done)
{Please forgive me if you hear me}
Please forgive me if you hear me
See, all I know is I'm proud to be your son (Be your son, oh)
Papa, if you can hear me

[Tulisa:]
I remember everything that you said (Oh)
The fights and the laughter, success, and disasters, no (Oh)
But nothing seems clearer (Oh)
Than the day you were gone (Oh, oh, oh)
You said, despite all the stress
You have to fight 'til the death
'Cause little girl you're a star
Don't let 'em kill who you are
You see, you gave me a chance
And now, look where I am (Oh)
You are the reason, can't wait to see you again (Oh, oh)

[Dappy (Tulisa):]
All I've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue cracked down Nokia (Oh)
Things in my house still smell of ya
All I wanna say is that

[Dappy {Tulisa} *Both*:]
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me, {oh})
I regret every bad thing that I said (That I said)
Please forgive me if you hear me (Hear me, {oh})
Never knew how much I loved ya 'til you was dead {Whoa, ooh-ooh-ooh}
{If only you}
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me)
If only you *knew what you went and done* (Went and done)
Please forgive me if you hear me
See, *all I know is I'm proud to be your son* (Be your son, oh)
Papa, if you can hear me

[Tulisa (Dappy):]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
(N-Dubz, hear this)
I have to say I dropped a tear when I done this shit
(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Like they always say, you dunno what you got until you lose it)
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
(Na na frickin')
(B, you know I'm gonna fulfill your wish and take care of mum's in the yard, haha)
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
(Papa, if you can hear me)
(Please forgive me if you hear me)
