I know things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up little Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I you miss your dad Well I'm 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, inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's be alright that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, baby But I momma's gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause 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 every house that we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy to California 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 momma like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you there and had to witness it first hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's 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 the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
