I know things may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little Stiffen up upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you your 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, even you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it all we got in this world When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the growing 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 plan it to be this way, your and me But things have so bad between us I see us ever being together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't 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 little crazy, baby But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt 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 house 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 dollars till broke 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 apartment And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to me Then you started daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all too fast 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 wanted to do was just you proud Now I'm sitting in this 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 pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and that don't shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
