I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, what daddy always tell up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I you miss your dad Well I'm but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it 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 it backfires on me All the things up his daddy 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 have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was meant 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 this will all be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when daddy had no Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause daddy 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 house that we lived in Either kept broken 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 Almost had a thousand dollars til broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy to California 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 on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma 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 don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
