Happy Birthday-Flipsyde
Happy birthday so make a wish
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
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
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 !
