| [00:03.14] | Yeah |
| [00:05.00] | I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now |
| [00:10.60] | But hey, what daddy always tell you? |
| [00:14.26] | Straighten up little soldier |
| [00:16.67] | Stiffen up that upper lip |
| [00:19.50] | What you crying about? |
| [00:21.39] | You got me |
| [00:22.63] | Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad |
| [00:25.48] | Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had |
| [00:28.54] | I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh |
| [00:31.57] | I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry |
| [00:34.29] | Cuz you're scared, I ain't there? |
| [00:35.71] | Daddy's with you in your prayers |
| [00:37.10] | No more crying, wipe them tears |
| [00:38.47] | Daddy's here, no more nightmares |
| [00:39.92] | We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it |
| [00:42.05] | Laney uncles crazy, aint he? |
| [00:43.77] | Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it |
| [00:45.69] | We're all we got in this world |
| [00:47.04] | When it spins, when it swirls |
| [00:48.37] | When it whirls, when it twirls |
| [00:49.81] | Two little beautiful girls |
| [00:51.27] | Lookin' puzzled, in a daze |
| [00:52.59] | I know it's confusing you |
| [00:54.01] | Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news |
| [00:56.82] | I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems |
| [00:59.32] | The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me |
| [01:02.12] | All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see |
| [01:05.03] | Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did |
| [01:07.98] | We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me |
| [01:10.49] | But things have gotten so bad between us |
| [01:12.09] | I don't see us ever being together ever again |
| [01:15.00] | Like we used to be when we was teenagers |
| [01:16.72] | But then of course everything always happens for a reason |
| [01:19.63] | I guess it was never meant to be |
| [01:21.45] | But it's just something we have no control |
| [01:23.26] | over and that's what destiny is |
| [01:25.11] | But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep |
| [01:27.62] | Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream |
| [01:30.65] | Now hush little baby, don't you cry |
| [01:33.36] | Everything's gonna be alright |
| [01:35.35] | Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya |
| [01:38.57] | Daddy's here to hold ya through the night |
| [01:41.04] | I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why |
| [01:44.78] | We feel how we feel inside |
| [01:46.74] | It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| [01:49.45] | But i promise momma's gon' be alright |
| [01:52.59] | It's funny |
| [01:53.05] | I remember back one year when daddy had no money |
| [01:55.86] | Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up |
| [01:57.61] | And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me |
| [02:00.22] | Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em |
| [02:01.62] | I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying |
| [02:04.42] | Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job |
| [02:07.08] | But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom |
| [02:09.92] | And at the time every house that we lived in |
| [02:12.30] | Either kept getting broke into and robbed |
| [02:14.39] | Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar |
| [02:18.45] | Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college |
| [02:21.21] | Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it |
| [02:24.46] | And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart |
| [02:27.03] | And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart |
| [02:29.93] | Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back |
| [02:32.91] | On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment |
| [02:35.73] | And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara |
| [02:38.26] | And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre |
| [02:42.30] | And flew you and momma out to see me |
| [02:44.02] | But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me |
| [02:46.78] | Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it |
| [02:50.17] | And you and Laney were to young to understand it |
| [02:52.77] | Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit |
| [02:55.61] | And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it |
| [02:58.39] | I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand |
| [03:01.09] | Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud |
| [03:03.83] | Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing |
| [03:06.93] | Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out |
| [03:09.20] | To see how much you both have grown, |
| [03:10.59] | it's almost like you're sisters now |
| [03:12.41] | Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here |
| [03:15.62] | Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here |
| [03:18.44] | I like the sound of that, yeah |
| [03:19.89] | It's got a ring to it don't it? |
| [03:21.32] | Shh, momma's only gone for the moment |
| [03:23.63] | Now hush little baby, don't you cry |
| [03:26.32] | Everything's gonna be alright |
| [03:28.30] | Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya |

| [03:39.62] | It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| [03:42.35] | But i promise momma's gon' be alright |
| [03:45.38] | And if you ask me too |
| [03:46.35] | Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird |
| [03:49.04] | I'mma give you the world |
| [03:50.92] | I'mma buy a diamond ring for you |
| [03:52.76] | I'mma sing for you |
