Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life I never had I can see you're sad, even you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them here, no more nightmares We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy 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 this way, your and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us being together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream

It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole 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 house that we 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 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 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 that's when daddy went to with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma 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 Laney were to to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma 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 wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah 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 I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
