I sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy tell you? Straighten up little up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I 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, even when you I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know it's you always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it 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 plan it to be this way, your and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being ever again we used 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 we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole 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 every that we lived in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke momma's heart And it seemed like was just 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 other 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 daddy had to work, you and momma had to me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't it And you and Laney to young to understand 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 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 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 of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
