I know sometimes things may not make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss 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, when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it 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 don't you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
funny I remember back one when daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole crying Cause daddy like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the on the table for you and mom And at the time house that we lived in Either getting 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 someone in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to me you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all happened too for either 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 just make you Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the of that, yeah 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 give you the world I'mma buy a ring 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 break that birdies I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
