I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, what daddy always tell Straighten up soldier 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 gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, 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 more We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better 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 it's you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The that 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 just as as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we to be when 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 over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a
Now hush baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through 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 momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the 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 night crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see 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 Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college had a thousand dollars til someone 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 back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy 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 you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like sisters now Wow, you pretty much 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, only gone for the moment
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 that ring shine I'mma that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (haha)
