Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you´ve been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tiny boy runnin´ round, hangin´ 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!
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...
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...!
