I know sometimes may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss dad Well I'm but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, wipe them here, no more nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it We're all we got in world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The harder that I try to do that, the 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 see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be we were 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 control over and what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause 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 broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you 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 seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And when daddy 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 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, momma developed a And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
And if you ask me too gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world I'mma buy a diamond 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 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)
