I know things may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The harder I try to do that, the more 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 plan it to be this way, mother and me But things have so bad between us I see us ever 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 meant to be But it's just something we no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that 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 how we feel inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt 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 and your mom was saving 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 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 back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved 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 had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too gonna buy you a mockingbird give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma break that birdies I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (ha ha)
