I sometimes things may not make sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? up little 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 life that I had I can see you're sad, even you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But things 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 it was never meant to be But it's just we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream

funny I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy 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 getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand till 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 apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to 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 didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to 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 and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world I'mma buy a ring for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
