I know things may not Always make to you right now But hey, daddy always tell you? Straighten up 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 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 Cause you're scared, I ain't with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them here, no more nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news 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 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 things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's gon' be
It's I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying daddy felt 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 kept broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was 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 went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break birdies neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
