I know sometimes things may not always make to you right now But hey, what daddy tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it We're all we got in this When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder 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 as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But things have so bad between us I see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's something we have no control over and that's what 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 gonna be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And 'em under 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 felt 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 kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy 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 startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the flat one 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 daddy had to work, you and momma had to me Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break that neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (haha)
