I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, what daddy always you? Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it When it whirls, when it Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't you to see but you see just as much 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 being together ever again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course 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 will all just be a dream
Now hush 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 not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me daddy couldn't 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 that we lived in Either kept getting into and robbed Or up on the block 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 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 back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to me you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like 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 either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were 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 have grown, it's 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 sound of that, It's got a ring to it it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (haha)
