Happy Birthday
(专辑: We The People - 2005)
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 smoking 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 struggling but old enough to be your dad The
fear of being a
father has never disappeared Pondering frequently while I'm zipping 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 knowing we was confused? Maybe everytime that he smiles it's you proudly knowing that your father's doing 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
ending to the
ending, 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
ending to the
ending, 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...!
