funny I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole night crying daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the on the table for you and mom And at the time house that we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you 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 just startin' to apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when 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 had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney to young to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to 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 empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just 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 talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
