I know sometimes things may not always sense to you right now But hey, what daddy tell you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you your 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 inside you to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it When it whirls, when it Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's 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 up his daddy 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 gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the 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
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt a bum, see daddy 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 kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to 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 seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's when daddy went to 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 Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma 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 empty house, just Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the I'mma buy a ring for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
