funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night 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 that we in Either kept getting broken into and Or up on the block 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 someone broke in and stole 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 Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara And when daddy 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 had to leave me Then you started daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand 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 there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone 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 ring don't shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
