I know sometimes things may not always sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I 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, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, 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, when it Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it 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 have so bad between us I don't see us ever being together again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise momma's be alright
funny I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night 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 time every house that we in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand til someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved 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 daddy to California with 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 seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
