N-Dubz - Papa Can You Hear Me? lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh
DAP's to the Y oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Na na frickin' oh, oh, oh, oh oh
And this is for my dad, Uncle B

Yeah, I don't mean to bore, you know my name
(yeah) chill for a second, just hear my pain
(Oh, oi) if you've lost any loved ones
You'll feel what I'm sayin'
I hope it's peaceful
Down there where they layin'
When someone you loved
Who brought you up from the start (Huh)
Built you up and made you into who you are
(Uh)
Always believed, sayin' that you'll be a star
Then all of a sudden, they just passed
(Oh, oh) he dashed the reaper from on
Top of my wardrobe
Slap them crack rocks out of my mouth (Boom)
Put me on a stage in front of a crowd
Now we're pickin' up awards while
He's under the ground (Ah)
My daddy this, and my daddy that (What?)
Well, I found mine dead on a couch in my flat
(Oh) so much to say
I wish I could have said "bye"
The only time I'll talk to him is
When I look into the sky (Oh, oh, yeah)

All I've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue cracked down Nokia
Things in my house still smell of ya
All I wanna say is that

Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me, oh)
I regret every bad thing that I said
(That I said)
Please forgive me if you hear me
(Hear me, oh) never knew how much I loved
Ya 'til you was dead
('Til you was dead, oh oh)
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me)
If only you knew what you went and done
(Went and done)
Please forgive me if you hear me
See, all I know is I'm proud to be your son
(Be your son, oh oh)
Papa, if you can hear me

There ain't a way in the world this is
How I thought this would end up
If it wasn't for you, B
There wouldn't be N-Dubz
Kept us together, never knowin' we'd end up
Movin' onto MOBO's, pushin' the Benz up (Ha)
You pushed and pushed when no
One wanted to believe (Uh)
But back then, it was all a dream
It's like we sacrificed your life (Ah)
For the love of success and
A life full of stress (Oh oh)
I'm vexed 'cah
First, they love you, second, they hate you
(Straight) they talked about you when they
Tried to play you (Benders)
Behind your back, they were tryin' betray you
But, B, I never had a chance to repay you
For the things you done for me
(Uh) , put me on the right path
Kept me from steerin' left, yeah
We had a right laugh (Oh)
But now I'm feeling like Bruce Willis
Each and every day, B
I really wanna die hard (Oh oh)

All I've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue cracked down Nokia
Things in my house still smell of ya
All I wanna say is that

Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me, oh)
I regret every bad thing that I said
(That I said, that I said)
Please forgive me if you hear me
(Hear me, ooh woah)
Never knew how much I loved
Ya 'til you was dead ('Til you was dead)
If only you
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me)
If only you knew what you went and done
(Went and done)
Please forgive me if you hear me
Please forgive me if you hear me
See, all I know is I'm proud to be your son
(Be your son, oh) papa, if you can hear me

I remember everything that you said (Oh)
The fights and the laughter
Success, and disasters, no
(Oh) but nothing seems clearer (Oh)
Than the day you were gone (Oh, oh, oh)
You said, despite all the stress
You have to fight 'til the death
'Cause little girl you're a star
Don't let 'em kill who you are
You see, you gave me a chance
And now, look where I am (Oh)
You are the reason
Can't wait to see you again (Oh, oh)

All I've got is these pictures of ya
And your light blue cracked down Nokia (Oh)
Things in my house still smell of ya
All I wanna say is that

Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me, oh)
I regret every bad thing that I said
(That I said)
Please forgive me if you hear me
(Hear me, oh) never knew how much I loved
Ya 'til you was dead (Woah, ooh ooh ooh)
If only you
Papa, if you can hear me (Hear me)
If only you knew what you went and done
(Went and done)
Please forgive me if you hear me
See, all I know is I'm proud to be your son
(Be your son, oh) papa, if you can hear me

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh n-Dubz, hear this
I have to say I dropped a
Tear when I done this shit oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Like they always say
You dunno what you got until you lose it
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh na na frickin'
B, you know I'm gonna fulfill your wish and
Take care of mum's in the yard, haha
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh papa, if you can hear me
Please forgive me if you hear me
