I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, what always tell you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even 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 tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together 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, when it Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see as much as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together ever we used to be when we were teenagers But of course 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, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream

funny I remember back one when 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 forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause felt 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 time house that we lived in Either getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college 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 other side of 8 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 had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a 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 it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing at your 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 talkin' to you too, daddy's here I like the of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird 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 ring don't shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
