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 school clothes 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: what I thought was a dream (make a wish) Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday) What 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 my father has never disappeared Pondering frequently while I´m sippin´ 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: What I thought was a dream (make a wish) Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday) What 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: What I thought was a dream (make a wish) Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday) What I thought was a dream (make a wish) Was as real as it seemed I made a mistake...!
