Part Time Mutha

## Song by 2Pac featuring Poppi and Angelique

"**Part Time Mutha**" is a song by 2Pac, released as the thirteenth and final track from his debut studio album, *2Pacalypse Now* (1991). It features vocals from Poppi and Angelique.

In the track-by-track commentary, Shakur said, "This is the flip side of records glorifying dope dealin' and free sex. This one's about a friend who freaks for a 10-piece and how his son is so ashamed of him, he becomes a stone cold killer. And a mother who's so blinded by love of this dealer she's not listening when her daughter tells her she's been raped. And how a one-night stand leaves a man with a baby and how it changes his life. He too is a part-time mutha."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Chorus: 2Pac & Poppi]

She's a part time

A part time

A part time

She's a part time mutha

A part time

A part time

A part time

She's a part time mutha

[Verse 1: 2Pac]

Meet Cindi

She's twenty-two, lives right on the dope track

Used to be fat now weighs less than a Tic Tac

Now what's that say about this big epidemic

This hypocritical world and the people in it

Now speakin' of, in it Cindi loved to get buckwild

Fuck with a smile single file she'll bust enough styles

That would be cool, if she was your lover

But fuck that, Cindi was my dope fiend mother

Welfare checks never stepped through the front door

'Cause moms would run to the dopeman once more

All those days, had me fiendin' for a hot meal

Now I'm a crook, got steel, I do not feel

So don't even trip, when I flip with my thirty-eight

Revenge is a bitch and my hit shake the murder rate

Word to the mother, I'm touched

When moms come by, n\*\*\*as hush or get rushed

Maybe one day she'll recover

But what will it take to shake or break

My part time mutha?

I gotta live with a part time

[Chorus: 2Pac & Poppi]

A part time

A part time

She's a part time mutha

A part time

A part time

She's a part time mutha

[Verse 2: Angelique]

I grew up in a home where no one liked me

Moms would hit the pipe, every night, she would fight me

Papa was a nasty old man like the rest

He's feelin' on my chest with his hands in my dress

Just another pest and yes, I was nervous

Was this a test? I just don't deserve this

I wanna tell mom, but would she listen?

She's bound to be bitchin' if she hasn't got a fix in, so

Now I lay me down to sleep, Lord don't let him rape me

If he does my soul to keep, don't let the devil take me

Can't concentrate, I contemplate in my classroom

Thinkin' how my stepdad raped me in the bathroom

Every day I make class and yet I'm missin' periods

The thought of pregnancy is in my head and now I'm fearin' it

I gotta tell mom before she sees me

I told her how he treated me and she didn't believe me

Callin' me a slut 'cause my butt's kinda big so

Still that ain't no way to be talkin' to your kids though

I can't believe the way he caught her

Got her believin' him and dissin' her own daughter

Time for me to break and find another

That's when I discovered

The ways of the days of a part time mutha

[Chorus: 2Pac & Poppi]

I got a part time

A part time

A part time

She's a part time mutha

A part time

A part time

A part time mutha

She's a part time mutha

[Verse 3: 2Pac]

I rush to tend her, talked as I touched her

She blushed, the clothes came off and I bust her

I'm up now, ready to get drunk on the block

Here, take a cab, thanks a lot for the cock

She's gone and I'm thinkin' that my game's so strong

Pat myself on the back and move on

Is this just how it is? Hell no

'Cause she came back with the kid, and yo

I been payin' ever since

The clothes, the food, the cars and, oh, the rent

All of my time gets spent at the workplace

No time to kiss her got me this in the first place

So, I do the dishes and clean the floor

When I sleep I can't dream no more

Oh no, now I'm a part time mutha

And I change the diapers and clean the shit

The tables are turned, I can't take this

Oh no, now I'm a part time mutha

[Chorus: 2Pac & Poppi]

A part time

A part time mutha

Now I'm a part time mutha

I'm a part time mutha

A part time

A part time

A part time

I'm a part time mutha

She's a part time

A part time mutha

She's a part time mutha

She's a part time

She's a, she's a part time

A part time

A part time

A part time mutha

A part time

A part time mutha

A part time mutha

Part time

Part time, part time

Part time

She's a part time mutha
