Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them here, no more nightmares We gon' 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, when it When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to keep you from 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 don't 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 things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything always happens for a I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep one day we'll wake up and this 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 and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole crying Cause daddy 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 every house that we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't it And you and were to young to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' 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 gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give 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 don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
