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 know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that 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 you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? but he loves 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 beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things growing up his that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together again Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control 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 all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
funny I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And 'em under the tree and said 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 felt 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 that we in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna 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 your heart And it seemed 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 moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And when 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 daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney to young to understand 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 witness it first all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and ring don't shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (haha)
