I know sometimes may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy always tell up little soldier Stiffen up that 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 you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them here, no more nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together again Like we used to be when we teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's gonna be that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know mommy's not 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 gon' be
It's I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me daddy couldn't 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 keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every that we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke momma's heart And it like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's daddy went to California with 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 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 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 this house, just reminiscing at your 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 are and daddy's still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the I'mma buy a diamond 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 who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (ha ha)
