I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, daddy always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you 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 when you I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull through 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 When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it 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 as much as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of everything 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 what is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
It's 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 daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy 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 house we lived in Either kept 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 til someone broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed 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 back to the other 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 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 Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma 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 you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how you both 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, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't 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 ring for you sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't sing and that don't shine I'mma that birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
