I sometimes things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you your dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it When it whirls, when it Two beautiful girls 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 more it on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But have gotten so bad between us I see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of course everything always 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

funny I remember back one year daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause 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 up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank 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 heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And when 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 momma had to me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
And if you ask me too gonna buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
