I know sometimes may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you 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 life I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you from 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 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 gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying daddy 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 we lived 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 bank for you so you go to college Almost had a dollars til someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma 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 didn't like it And you and Laney to young 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 there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's 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 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 gonna buy you a 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 mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine break that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (haha)
