I know sometimes may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip What you crying You got me
I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it We're all we got in world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the growing up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't 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 gotten so bad us I see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no 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 will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry gonna be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy like a bum, see daddy 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 getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke momma's heart And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other 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 momma had to me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma that birdies neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
