I know sometimes may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what always tell you? Straighten up little up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, 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' together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's on the news I try to keep you 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 this way, mother and me But have gotten so bad between 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 guess it was meant to be But it's just we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your 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 gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause couldn't 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 the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you there and had to witness it first hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, almost like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma break that neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (haha)
