I know sometimes things may not always sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell Straighten up little Stiffen up upper lip What you crying 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 give you the life I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears here, no more nightmares We pull together 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, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things growing up his that 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 way, your mother 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 course everything always for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no 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 Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not here right now and we know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty 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 some of 'em from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that I sat up the whole night crying Cause felt like 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 that we lived 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 bank for you so you could go to had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it like 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 of 8 Mile 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 daddy on the T.V. and didn't like it And you and were 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 just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the of that, yeah 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 I'mma give you the I'mma buy a ring for you sing 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 birdies go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
