I know sometimes things may not always make to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell Straighten up soldier Stiffen up that lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you your mom and I know you miss your dad I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's with you in your No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't 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 puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The harder that I try to do that, the 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 used to be we were teenagers But then of 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 Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a

It's I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see had a job But his job was to keep the on the table for you and mom And at the time every that we lived in Either kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's when went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma 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 momma didn't it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, 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 Cause all I ever wanted to do was just you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just 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 sound of that, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (haha)
