I sometimes things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that 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 you're scared, I there? with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the 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 growing up his that he had to see Daddy want 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 things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together again Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night 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 that we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma 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 didn't it And you and Laney were to young to it was a rollin' stone, momma 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 sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine break that birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
