I know sometimes things may not always sense to you right now But hey, what always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I you miss your dad Well I'm but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be way, your mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us being together ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course everything always for a reason 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 wake up and will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
funny I remember back one year when had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause 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 every house that we in Either kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars til broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's when daddy went to with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma that birdies neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (haha)
