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 when you smile, even you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it We're all we got in world it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see as much 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 together ever Like we used to be when we were But then of course always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's gon' be
funny I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that I sat up the whole 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 every house that we lived in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara And that's when went to California 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 on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty 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, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world 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 birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
