I sometimes things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy tell you? Straighten up little Stiffen up upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to keep you sheltered 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 plan it to be way, your mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us being together ever again Like we used to be we were teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's something 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 all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em the tree and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget 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 kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's 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 flat one 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 daddy had to work, you and had to leave me you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to 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 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 empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still 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 give you the world I'mma buy a ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
