I know sometimes things may not always make to you right now But hey, daddy always tell you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you about? You got me
I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to 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 you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things up his daddy 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 way, your mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not here right now and we know why We fear how we inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember back one year when daddy had no wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every house that we in Either 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 know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California 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 Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to 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 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, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma 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 and that ring don't shine I'mma that birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (haha)
