I know sometimes may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying 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 I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it uncles 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, when it Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy 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 this way, mother and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything always happens for a I it was never meant to be But it's just we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest 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 be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know mommy's not 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 gon' be
funny I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em 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 night Cause daddy 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 every house that we lived in Either kept getting 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 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 seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And when daddy went to California 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 Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab 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 in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the sound of that, 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 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 don't shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (haha)
