I sometimes things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little up that upper 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 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 eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we 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, when it Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the growing up his daddy that he had to see don't want 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 have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything always for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night Cause daddy 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 every house that we lived in Either kept getting into and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to Almost had a thousand dollars someone broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to 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 you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, 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 it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's 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 I'll do for you to see you smile And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine break that birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
