I sometimes things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What daddy tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I 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 inside you to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe tears here, no more 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 this it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mama's always 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 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, your and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we used to be when we were 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 worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know mommy's not here right now and we don't why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every that we lived in Either getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it like everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy went 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 daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand 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 were there and had to it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
