To my unborn child To my unborn, child In case I don't make it Just remember daddy loves you I did everything I could to make things good for you So don't worry about it To my unborn You know daddy loves you
[Verse 1] Now ever since my birth, I been cursed since I was born to wile In case I never get to holler at my unborn child Many things learned in prison Blessed to be still living Trying to earn every penny that I'm gettin' Reminiscin' to the beginning of my mission When I was conceived and became to be in this position My mama was a panther, loud Single parent but she growled When she witnessed baby boy ripping wild I went to school but I dropped out And left the house cause my momma says I'm good for nothing So I'm out, since I only got one life to live God forgive me for my sins Let me make it and I'll never steal again Or deal again My only friend is my misery Wanting revenge for the agony they did to me See my life ain't promised but it sure get better Hope you understand my love letter To my unborn child
[Chorus] I'm writing you a letter (To my unborn) This is for my unborn child (To my unborn child) Wanna let you know I love you Love you Wanna let you know I feel this way (To my unborn) I think about you every day (To my unborn child) I have so much to say
[Verse 2] So complicated to escape fate And you can never understand till we trade places Tell the world I been guilty to being anxious Ain't no way in hell, that I could ever be a rapist It's time to face this, cold world on a good day When will they let the little kids in the hood play? I got shot 5 times but I'm still breathing Living proof there's a God if you need a reason God believe in my own fate Will I raise my kids in the right or the wrong way Dear mama I'm a man now I wanna make it on my own not a hand out Make way for a whirlwind prophesized I wanna go in peace When I gotta die On these cold streets Ain't no love, no mercy and no friends In case you never see my face again To my unborn child
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] Dear Lord can you hear me? Tell me what to say to my unborn seed In case I pass away will my child get to feel loved Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs Cause being black hurts And even worse if you speak first Live my life as an outlaw What could be worse Cause maybe if I tried to change Who am I kidding? I'm a thug till I die I'm a ride maintain, touch base eat lunch in plush places regular criminal oasis awaits us If there's a heaven for true thugs I'll see you there And I'm sorry for not being there Just know, your daddy was a souljah Me against the world Bless the boys and all my little girls To the Lord I'm eternal Resting in peace Please take care of all my seeds And my unborn child
[Chorus]
[Tupac talking] Please take care of all my kids And my unborn child To my unborn child This letter goes out to my seeds that I might not get to see Cause of this lifestyle Just know your daddy loved you Got nothing but love for you And all I wanted was for you to have a better life than I Cause I was out there on a 24 hour 365 grind When you get to be my age you'll understand Just know I got love for you And I'll see you if there's a ghetto in heaven If there's a ghetto heaven I'll be there waiting for you Heh heh Take care Run wild, but be smart Follow the rules of the game I know sometimes there's confusion Rules of the game is gonna get you through it, all day every day Watch out for these snakes and fakes Snakes come a dime a dozen Work hard Study Get your mind right
