I know sometimes may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I you miss your mom and I know you miss 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 when you smile, when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the growing up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us being together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything always happens for a I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that 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 don't why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember back one when daddy had no money wrapped 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 that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to the food 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 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 dollars till someone in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's when daddy went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma 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 a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it hand Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
