I know sometimes may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy always you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip What you crying 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 give you the life that I 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 you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems 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 way, your mother and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything always for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, baby But I promise gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when daddy had no Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that I sat up the whole night crying Cause felt like 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 up on the block and your 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 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 moved back 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 went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to 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, developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you 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 like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, only gone 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 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 break that birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
