I know sometimes things may not make sense to you right now But hey, daddy always tell you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even 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 uncles crazy, he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it When it whirls, when it Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the growing up his daddy 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 this way, mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a 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, rest 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 little lady, I ya Daddy's here to ya through 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, baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause couldn't buy 'em never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt 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 we lived in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving 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 hurt so bad it 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 Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to with 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 started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still 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 gonna buy you a I'mma you the world I'mma buy a ring for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that don't shine I'mma break that birdies go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (haha)
