I know sometimes may not Always make to you right now But hey, daddy always tell you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up that lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered 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 want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be way, your mother and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of course everything always for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we no control over and that's what destiny is But no worries, rest your head and go to sleep one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not here right now and we know why We fear how we inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night Cause daddy felt like a bum, see had a job But his job was to keep the on the table for you and mom And at the time every house we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or up on the block 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 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 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 side of 8 on Novara 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 momma had to me Then you seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just 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 are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I the sound 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 give you the I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine break that 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)
