[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Born through hard times,✦ ghetto✦ child of mine
I wonder✦ if you have to suffer✦ for your father's crimes✦
To be honest it's a hard road
Just keep your faith in God, knowin'✦ you'll get scarred though
Look at him walkin'✦ and talkin',✦ a lil' child with my eyes and mouth
Father✦ watch over✦ lil' seeds, help me guide them out
Had to change my whole lifestyle, married my baby's momma✦
Made her my wife now, I'm tryin' hard y'all
Maybe in time I'll be a better✦ man
Watchin' the older✦ couples, handle it like veterans
Show me the meanin'✦ of forever and together✦ we rise
If it would help our child grow, then together✦ we'd die
Why - question my love, it's so easy✦ to see
Without my family✦ all I'm left with is a shadow✦ of me
After✦ all the arguments, and the nights alone✦
Now it's time to live the good life, inside✦ a happy✦ home
[Hook: Singer & (2Pac)]
Ha..ppy..✦ home..
(Turn this house into✦ a happy✦ home)
Ha..ppy..✦ home..
(Finally✦ got to live the good life inside✦ a happy✦ home)
Ha..ppy..✦ home..
(Turn this house into✦ a happy✦ home)
Ha..ppy..✦ home..
(Happy✦ home)
[Singer & (2Pac)]
All these problems got me goin
We got a family,✦ of our own
I just wanna✦ happy✦ home
(Turn this house into✦ a happy✦ home)
No man's made to stand alone✦
I promise I won't do you wrong
I just want a happy✦ home
(Finally✦ made it out my mom's house, got a happy✦ home)
[Hook: Singer & (2Pac)]

(Long as one of us got it, some of us got it)
(Turn this house into✦ a happy✦ home)
