I sometimes things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you your dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but 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 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 being together ever 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, rest your and go to sleep one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through 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 gon' be
It's I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were 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 house that 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 could go to 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 everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the 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 Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a stone, momma developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma break that birdies I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
