I know sometimes things may not always make to you right now But hey, what always tell you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up that lip What you crying 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, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No crying, wipe them 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 world it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's 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 growing up his daddy 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 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 meant to be But it's something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's gonna be that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's gon' be
It's I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying daddy felt 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 getting broken and robbed 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 dollars til someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad back 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 had to work, you and momma had to leave me you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just 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, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only 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 anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break that neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
