I know things may not make sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more 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 it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy he had to see Daddy 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 things have so bad between us I don't see us being together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a 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 wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night Cause daddy felt 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 that we in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one 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 flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed 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 all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's almost 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 like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma 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 that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
