funny I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget 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 every house that we in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars til someone in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 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 had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a stone, momma developed 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 wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at 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 much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only 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 I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (haha)
