Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even 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 with you in prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more 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 it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things up his daddy 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 this way, mother and me But have gotten so bad between us I see us ever being together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything always for a reason I guess it was never 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 this will all be a dream

It's I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night 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 that we lived in Either kept getting 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 til broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was just startin' to 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 when daddy went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, It's got a ring to it it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird give 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 that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (haha)
