I know things may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you your mom and I know you miss your dad I'm gone but I'm trying 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 Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, 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 things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not plan it to be this way, 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 of course everything always happens 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 worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be 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 gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year when daddy had no Mommy the Christmas 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 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 that we lived in Either kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to Almost had a thousand dollars till broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved 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 Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and didn't like it And you and Laney 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 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, reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you both 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 the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world I'mma buy a ring for you sing 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 to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
