I sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss 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 eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it We're all we got in world it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his that he had to see don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother 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 were But of course everything always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em 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 whole night 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 that we in kept 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 someone broke in and it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California 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 didn't it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this 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 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 gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a 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 break that birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
