I sometimes things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What daddy tell you? Straighten up soldier 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 life I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not plan it to be way, your mother and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we know why We fear how we inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember one year when daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause daddy felt 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 house that we lived in Either kept getting broken into and 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 go to college Almost had a thousand till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy 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 momma had to me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm sorry 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 at your baby pictures, it just 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 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, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma give you the buy a diamond 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 who sold it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
