I know sometimes may not Always make sense to you now But hey, daddy always tell you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being together again Like we used to be we were teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's what is But no more worries, your head 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 upper lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's gon' be
funny I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night 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 getting 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 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 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 back to the other side of 8 on Novara And that's when daddy went to California 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 seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just 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 empty house, just at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the I'mma buy a ring 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 birdies neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
