I know sometimes may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little up that upper lip What you crying 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 you're sad, even when you smile, even you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, wipe them here, no more nightmares We gon' pull through it, we gon' 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, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy 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 have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we 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 wake up and will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I back one year when daddy 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 whole crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see 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 and robbed Or up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole 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 arguin' a lot so moved back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when went to California 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 didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a 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 to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, 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 you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
