I sometimes things may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up soldier Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I you miss 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 your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his 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 have gotten so bad between us I see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything always for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just we have no control over and that's what destiny 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 gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
funny I remember 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 night crying daddy 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 Either kept broken 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 go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to 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 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 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 first Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the I'mma buy a diamond 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 I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
