funny I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause daddy 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 house we lived in Either kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college Almost had a thousand till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's when daddy went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a stone, momma developed a habit 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 wanted 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, almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
