I know things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always you? Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip What you about? You got me
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 that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder 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 way, your mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your 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 gonna be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to 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 little crazy, baby But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole crying daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we in Either getting broken into and robbed Or up on the block 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 dollars til broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke 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 in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side 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 had to leave me Then you 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 wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just 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 to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma give you the buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (haha)
