There was 1 September day that Papa worked 2 hard
First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard
Then he screamed at baby twice 4 throwin' rocks at passin' cars
Baby didn't listen, so like a priceless work of art
He got snatched by his Papa who then opened up the closet door
And pushed the four-year-old down, onto the closet floor
Baby cried "I'm sorry, I won't do it no more"
Papa said "Yeah, I know, that's what this here's 4"
Smack!
Ooh Papa...
Smack! Smack!
Ooh Papa...Papa...
Smack!
Ooh Papa...
Smack! Smack!
Ooh Papa...Papa...
As the door closes, baby starts 2 cry
"Please don't lock me up again, without a reason why"
Papa just went outside and pointed a shotgun up in the sky
He said "How come I don't love my woman?"
Then he took aim and died
Boom!
Papa...
Boom! Boom!
Papa...Papa
Boom!
Papa...
Boom! Boom!
Papa...Papa...
Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me
Fair 2 partly crazy, deep down we're all the same
Every single 1 of us knows some kind of pain
In the middle of all that's crazy, this 1 fact still remains
If u love somebody, your life won't be in vain

Papa was a simple man papa loved his farming land
Guess I didn't understand please forgive me papa
You can't paint a picture of a man like papa with something as empty as words
Cause there's no way to measure the thoughness of timber
And compare it to the softness of birds
Papa was both and yet he was neither just a hard working God fearing soul
He gave what he had to the ones that he loved and I guess he loved me best of all
For I was the oldest and we were the closest we worked that old farm side by side
I guess that's the reason it hit me the hardest the morning that my papa died
All I could think of was how hard he'd worked and what little comfort he'd found
I guess that's the reason I hitched up the mule and drove the old buggy to town
I picked out a lot in the big cemetery in the shade of a tall maple tree
Figured it's the least I could do for my papa
After all the things that he's done for me
We gave him a funeral fit for a king and then we laid him to rest in the sod
Somehow I thought that in that big pretty place he just might feel closer to God
The women were crying as they passed by papa the men stopped and all shook my hand
Most of the mourness had gone when I looked up and noticed this white haired old man
He was dressed kinda shabby and he walked with a cane his voice was shaky and low
I had to look twice before I rocognized him he used to work for us a long time ago
They told me this morning that the big boss had died
And I thought that I should come around
I went out to the homeplace to tell him goodbye
They told me that you done brought him to town
I remember your papa used to say that when he died he didn't have but one request
He wanted to be burried out dare on that farm
He said there wadn't nowhere else that he could rest
When I heard what you'd done I fatched me a shovel found me an old paper sack
I scooped up some dirt from up near the farmhouse
And thought that I'd just bring it back
I hope you don't mind if I just sorta scatter these few little pieces of clay
It ain't gonna mess up your pretty green grass he just might sleep better this way

Needed you to love me
But you
Did not know how to love
Papa
You've been gone too long
Papa
I'm so glad you're home
Were living in a separate world
Tried so hard to impress you
Papa
You've been here before
And papa
I'm not as strong as you are
I can finally see
Looking through your eyes
I will try to honour you with my life
Papa
You've been gone too long
Papa

Everyday my papa worked to help,
To make ends meet,
To see that we would eat,
Keep those shoes upon my feet.
Every night my papa would take and tuck.. me in my bed,
Kiss me on my head,
After all my prayers were said.
Growing up with him was easy time.. just flew on by,
The years began to fly,
He aged and so did I,
I could tell,
That mama wasn't well.
Papa knew and deep down so did she,
So did she.
When she died,
My papa broke down and cried,
All he said was, 'God, why not take me!'
Every night he sat there sleeping in.. his rocking chair.
He never went upstairs,
All because she wasn't there.
Then, one day my papa said,
'Son, I'm proud.. the way you've grown,
Make it on your own,
I'll be okay alone.'
Every time I kiss my children,
Papa's words ring true,
'Your children live through you.
They'll grow and leave you, too.'
I remember every word, my papa used to say.
I live that every day,
He taught me well that way.
Every night my papa would take and tuck me in my bed,
Kiss me on my head,
After all my prayers were said.
[FADE OUT]
Every night my papa would take and tuck me in my bed,
Tuck me in my bed,

Look up
Look where you wanna be
Look left
Look where you left me
I should have known
By the ice in his eye
But you warmed me up in your so sweet demise and
Nestled in your calculated moonshine
Boy you give good...
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve
But me
Papa oh papa tonight
Papa oh I'll be alright
Look left
Look where you wanna be
Look up
Look where you left me
I should have known
By the ice in his eye
But you warmed me up in your so sweet demise and
Nestled in your calculated moonshine
Boy you give good...
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve
But me
Papa oh papa tonight

Hello Miss world and all you beautiful girls
From New York to Chicago, London to Toronto
I think about you every night
The time we had felt so right
'Cause it's time for you to now
that it's time for me to go and I'm leaving now
(Chorus:)
Hey Papa, I'm just like you
Hey Papa, I'm a rolling stone too
I was born a lion and like a cat I'm gonna dance
Barcelona to 'Frisco
Stockholm to Oslo
On the road is my religion
You gotta make a quick decision
'Cause it's time for you to now
That I'm leaving now
(Chorus)
Adhere to the call of the wind and the road
Don't look back baby and don't move slow
I know you want me for one more night
'Cause when we're together it just feels so right
One day i'm here the next I'm outta sight
Just let it be let things take flight

D A P's to the Y
Nah Nah Frickin'
And this is for my DAD!!
Uncle B
Yeah, i don't mean to bore, you know my name
Chill for a second, just hear my pain
If you've lost any loved ones you'll feel what i'm saying
Hope its peacful down there where they layin
When someone you loved, who brought you up from the start
Built you up and made you into who you are
Who always believed, saying that you'll be a star
Then all of a sudden they just passed
Dash the reaper from ontop of ma wardrobe
Slap den crack, from side of the mouth
Put me on stage infront of a crowd
Now we're picking up awards whle he's under the ground
My Daddy this and my Daddy that
Well i found mine dead on a couch in ma flat
So much to say, i wish i coulda said bye
The only time i'll talk to him is when i look into the sky
Faze: YEAH!!
CHORUS!!:
All i've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue crack down Nokia
Things in my house still smell of ya
All i wanna say is:
Papa if you can hear me...!!
I regret every bad thing that i saaaid
Please forgive me if you hear me...
Never knew how much i loved ya till you was dead...!!
Papa if you can hear me...
Dappy: If only youuu, knew what you went and done
Please forgive me if you hear me...
Dappy: See all i know is, i'm proud to be your Son
Papa if you can hear me...
Faze: We're getting away in the world, it's how i'm flowing with N-Dubz
If it wasn't for you B there wouldn't be N-Dubz
Kept us together never knowing we'd end up
Moving onto Mobo's pushing the bench up
You pushed and pushed when no-one wanted to believe
but back then it was all a dream
It's like you sacrificed your life
For the love of success and a life full of stress
I'm vexed cuz
First they love you, second they hate you
They talked about you, when they tried to play you
Behind your back they were tryna betray you
But B, i never had a chance to repay you
for the things you done for me
Put me on the right path, kept me from steering left
Yeah we had a right laugh
But i be feeling like Bruce Willis, each and everyday i really wanna Die Hard
CHORUS!!:
All i've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue crack down Nokia
Things in my house still smell of ya
All i wanna say is:
Papa if you can hear me...!!
I regret every bad thing that i saaaid
Please forgive me if you hear me...!!
Never knew how much i loved ya till you was dead...!!
Tulisa: If only youuu
Dappy: Papa if you can hear me...!!
Dappy: If only youuu, knew what you went and done
Tulisa: Please forgive me if you hear me...!!
Dappy: Please forgive me if you hear me...!!
Dappy: See all i know is, i'm proud to be your Son
Papa if you can hear me...!!
Tulisa: I never ever hear what you said
The fights and the laughter
success and disasters, No!
But nothing seems clearer..
Than the day you were gone..
You said, despite all the stress
You haveta fight to the death
Coz little girl your a star
Don't let em kill who you are....
You see you gave me a chance
And now look where i am
You are the reason, i can't wait to see you again...
CHORUS!!:
All i've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue crack down Nokia
Things in my house still smell of ya
All i wanna say is:
Papa if you can hear me...!!
I regret every bad thing that i saaaid
Please forgive me if you hear me...!!
Never knew how much i loved ya till you was dead...!!
Tulisa: If only youuu
Dappy: Papa if you can hear me...!!
Dappy: If only youuu, knew what you went and done
Dappy: Please forgive me if you hear me...!!
Tulisa: See all i know is, i'm proud to be your Son
Dappy: See all i know is, i'm proud to be your Son
Papa if you can hear me...!!
