I know things may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy 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 miss dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's with you in your No crying, wipe them tears here, no more nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know confusing you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things 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 things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember one year when daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying daddy 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 every house we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara And when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma 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 stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's 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 Daddy's gonna buy you a 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 don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break that birdies go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
