[Verse 1: 2Pac & Poppi]

I had to play catch by myself, what a sorry sight

A pitiful plight, so I pray, poor sorry night

Please send me a pops before puberty

The things I would do to see a piece of family unity

My 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 God don't like ugly, well, take a look at my family

A different father every weekend

Before we get to meet him, they break up before the week ends

I'm gettin' sick of all the friendships

As soon as we kick it, he done split and the whole trip ends quick

How can I be a man if there's no role model?

I'm strivin' to save my soul, I stay cold, drinkin' a forty bottle (I'm so sorry)

I'm sorry

[Chorus: Poppi]

I'm so sorry

For all this time (For all this time)

For all this time

For all this time

I'm so sorry

For all this time

For all this time

For all this time

Feel so sorry, baby

[Verse 2: Mopreme, 2Pac, Mopreme & 2Pac]

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

Should I stay, or run away? Tell me the answer

Moms ignores me and avoids me like cancer

Grow up rough and it's hard to understand stuff

Moms was tough 'cause papa 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 (I'm so sorry)

[Chorus: Poppi]

I'm so sorry

For all this times (For all this time)

For all this times (I'm sorry, boy)

For all this times

Don't you know?

I'm so sorry (Your daddy's here now)

For all this times (And forgive me)

For all this times

For all this times

Feel so sorry, baby

[Verse 3: 2Pac & Poppi]

Man child in the promised land, can't afford many heroes

Moms was the only one there, my pops was a no-show

And, oh, I guess you didn't know

That I would grow to be so strong

Lookin' kinda pale, was it the ale, or pops was wrong?

Where was the money that you said you would send me?

Talked on the phone and you sounded so friendly

Askin' 'bout 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 it comin', Jack

You grabbed your coat, left us broke, now ain't no runnin' back

Askin' 'bout 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-a-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 I finally found you, stay the fuck away from me (I'm so sorry)

I'm sorry, huh

[Chorus: Poppi]

I'm so sorry (Sorry)

For all this time (So, so, so sorry)

For all this time (I'm so, so sorry)

For all this time

I'm so sorry

For all this time (So, so, so sorry)

For all this time (So, so, sorry)

For all this time

So sorry, baby (Sorry)

[Verse 4: 2Pac & Poppi]

I never meant to leave, but I was wanted

Crossed too many people, every house I'd touch was haunted

Had to watch for strangers, every of 'em was a danger

If I wanted to to keep you breathin', had to be out of range-ah

Had to move on, done lost my name and picked a number

Made me watch my back, I had no happy home to run to

Maybe it's my fault for bein' a father livin' fast

But livin' slow mean half the dough and you won't get no ass

Hindsight shows me it was wrong all along

I wanted to make some dough so you would 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

Grow to be the titan you was meant to be

Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me (I'm so sorry)

I'm so sorry

[Chorus: Poppi & 2Pac]

I'm so sorry (S-s-sorry)

For all this time (So, sorry)

For all this time (Ticka-ticka-ticka, sorry)

For all this time

(Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me)

I'm so sorry, help me

I'm so sorry (So, sorry)

For all this time (S-s-s-so sorry)

For all this time (So, sorry)

For all this time

(Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me)

I'm so— I'm so— I'm so— I'm so— (Feel so sorry, baby)

[Outro: Poppi]

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry
