No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there

from 2Pac – Dear Mama Lyrics on Rap Genius

2pac did eventually meet his biological father: Billy (William) Garland. After 2pac was shot 5 times on November 30, 1994 in New York, he met his father in the hospital. Before this, he had thought that his real father was dead

Said Pac:

After I got shot, I looked up there was this nigga that looked just like me. And he was my father; that’s when I found out. We still didn’t take no blood test but the nigga looked just like me.. and the other nigga’s dead..

..so now I feel that I’m past the father stage

After 2pac’s death, blood tests confirmed that Billy was indeed 2pac’s biological father
