So...you say that like it means somethin to me
 You've been gone a mighty long muthafuckin time
 for you to be comin home talkin that 'daddy's home' shit
 We been getting along fine just without you
 Me, my brother, and my mother
 So if you don't mind, you can step the fuck off, pops
 Fuck you!

 (Tupac)

 Had to play catch by myself
 what a sorry sight
 A pitiful plight
 so I pray for a starry night
 Please send me a pops before puberty
 the things I would do to see a piece of family unity
 Moms always work, I barely see her
 I'm startin to get worried without a pops I'll grow to be her
 It's a wonder they don't understand kids today
 so when I pray, I pray I'll never grow to be that way
 And I hope that he answers me
 I heard, guns unlike people
 take a look at my family
 a different father every weekend
 before we get to meet him they breakup before the week ends
 I'm gettin sick of all the friendships
 As soon as we kick it he done split and then [uhh] shit ends quick
 How can I be a man if there's no role model
 Strivin to save my soul I stay cold drinkin a forty bottle
 I'm so sorry...

 (Chorus)

 I'm so sorry
 for all this time
 for all this time
 for all this time

 (Wycked)

 Moms had to entertain many men
 didn't wanna do it but it's time to pay the rent again
 I'm gettin a bit older and I'm startin to be a bother
 moms can't stand me cause I'm lookin like my father
 Shall I stay or run away
 tell me tha answer
 moms ignores me and avoids me like cancer
 Grow up rough and it's hard to understand stuff
 moms was tough cause it's poppa wasn't man enough
 couldn't stand up to his own responsibilities
 instead of takin care of me
 he'd rather live lavishly
 That's why I'll never be a father
 unless you got the time
 it's a crime
 don't even bother
 That's when I started hatin the phony smiles
 said I was an only child
 [look at mama's lonely smile]
 It's hard for a son to see his mother cry
 She only loves you, but has to fuck with these other guys


 (Chorus x2)

 I'm so sorry
 for all this time
 for all this time
 for all this time

 (Tupac)

 Man child in the promised land
 could afford many ???
 moms was there only when pops was a no-show
 and Oh
 I guess ya didn't know that I would grow to be so strong
 lookin kinda pale was it the ale that pops was wrong
 Where was the money that you sent you would send me
 talked on the phone and ya sounded so friendly
 Ask about school and my welfare
 but it's clear, you ain't sincere
 hey, who the hell cares
 You think I'm blind but this time I see ya comin, Jack
 You grabbed your coat, leathers broke
 now ain't no runnin back
 Ask about my moms like you loved her from the start
 Left her in the dark, she fell apart from a broken heart
 So don't even start with that 'wanna be your father' shit
 don't even bother with your dollars I don't need it
 I'll bury moms like you left me all alone G
 Now that that I finally found you,
 stay the Fuck away from me
 I'm so sorry...

 (Chorus x2)

 I'm so sorry
 for all this time
 for all this time
 for all this time

 (Tupac voiceover)

 I never meant to leave but I was wanted
 lost too many people every house ?of which was haunted?
 had to watch the strangers
 every brother was in danger
 If I was to keep you breathin had to have you out of range
 Had to move one to lost my name to beat the number
 maybe watch my back I had no happy home to run to
 Maybe it's my fault for being a father living fast
 But livin slow, we'd have no dough ????
 ??? showed me it was wrong all along
 I wanted to make some dough so you could grow to be so strong
 It took a little longer than I thought
 I slipped, got caught, and sent to jail by the courts
 Now I'm doin time and I wish you'd understand
 all I ever wanted was for you to be a man
 and grow to be the type you was meant to be
 Keep the war fightin by the writings that you sent to me
 I'm so sorry...

 (Chorus repeated till end)

 I'm so sorry
 for all this time
 for all this time
 for all this time
