I know things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy always you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's 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 growing 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 so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we no control 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 hush little baby, you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when daddy had no Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause felt 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 every that we lived in Either kept getting into 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 till someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And when 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 momma didn't it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your 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 still Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the 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 gonna buy you a I'mma you the world I'mma buy a ring for you sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
