Happy Birthday Lyrics - Singles - 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 fought 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 poppa The Piper? 

Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters? 

I wonder about your skin tone 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 would've 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, make a wish 

Was as real as it seemed, I made a mistake 

I've got a million excuses to why you died 

And other people got their own reasons for homicide 

Who's to say it would've 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 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 every time 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 would've 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
