I sometimes things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying 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 eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, them tears here, no more nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it uncles 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, it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more 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 this way, your and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's what is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, baby But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents 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 crying Cause daddy felt 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 house we lived in Either kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy 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 you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like sisters 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, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma that birdies neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
