I sometimes things may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you about? You got me
I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to you the life that I never 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 scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in 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 sheltered 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 want you to see but you see as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother and me But things have gotten so bad 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 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, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know mommy's not here right now and we know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise momma's gon' be
funny I back one year when daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause 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 every house we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was 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 broke in and it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And when daddy went to California with 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 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 stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just 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 Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still 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 Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird sing and that ring don't shine break that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (ha ha)
