Flipsyde - Happy Birthday
Verse 1:
Please accept my apologies, I wonder what would have been.
Would you have 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 paid 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 smoking by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skin tone and shape of your nose,
and the way you would´ve laughed and talked fast or slow.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would´ve 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 seem
I made a mistake
Verse 2:
I got a million excuses, as 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 I wouldn´t have
I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad.
The fear of being my father has never disappeared,
I ponder it 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.
But now you got a little brother, maybe it´s really you.
Maybe you really forgave us knowing we was confused.
Maybe, every time that he smiles it´s you proudly
knowing that your father´s doing the right thing now.
I´ll never tell a woman what to do with her body,
but if she don´t love children, then we can´t party.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would´ve been.
Happy birthday
Chorus (2X)
Bridge:(2X)
And from the Heavens to the womb to the Heavens again.
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin.
Maybe one day we can meet face to face,
in a place without time and space.
Happy birthday.
Chorus

Flipsyde - Angel
[Verse 1]
Now you´ve been up and you´ve been down
Stayed strong even though daddy wasn´t around
My momma through the thick and the thin beginning to end
And though I be sinning you keep me livin´ with that love that you givin´
It´s unconditional hey the sun shines when I see a smile on ya face
My momma with the money and jewels the record and tours
I´d give it away if I could make your days happy days
And when my hearts broke and can´t cope I´m comin´ on home
To remember the reason why I was born
Cuddle up inside your heavenly arms you help me weather the storm
You love music so I put it in song
[Chorus]
She´s an Angel workin´ on God´s train
She´s an Angel workin´ on me
She´s an Angel workin´ on God´s train
She´s an Angel workin´ on me
[Verse 2]
I wasn´t born wild you know you raised me right
But the roads of Alabama called me into the night
From the coke and the weed and extacy
I´m lost in the streets but you still remain next to me
The blood that I bleed it flows through your veins
Even in my lowest point I can still hear your words to my brain
First time I was arrested mommas love was tested
I couldn´t contest it so here´s my confession you´re my blessing
You´re the reason I believe you´re the reason I sing
You´re the reason angels tangle me in heavenly things
It´s been a long road so hard and cold
But you keepin´ me warm with your heart of gold
[Chorus]
She´s an Angel workin´ on God´s train
She´s an Angel workin´ on me
She´s an Angel workin´ on God´s train
She´s an Angel workin´ on me
[Verse 3]
You´re the light at the end of the tunnel the break of the day
After the darkest night chasing all the evil away
You´re my flowers and sunshine cherries and red wine
Diamonds they can´t find shining through hard times
You´re the angel on Earth the proof there´s a God
The reason to keep on going you´re my light in the dark
The first star in the sky and the last to leave
And when I´m travelin´ through the night I feel your light on me
[Chorus]
She´s an Angel workin´ on God´s train
She´s an Angel workin´ on me
She´s an Angel workin´ on God´s train
She´s an Angel workin´ on me
