I know sometimes may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything always happens for a I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole night crying daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to the food on the table for you and mom And at the time house that we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma that birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
