I know sometimes may not Always make to you right now But hey, What always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you 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 your eyes, inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know it's you always 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 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, your and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be when we were But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we don't why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas 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 whole crying Cause daddy felt a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every house that we in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college Almost had a thousand dollars someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it seemed everything 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 California his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, 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 I'mma buy a ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
