Yeah | |
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now | |
But hey what daddy always tell you | |
Straighten up little soldier | |
Stiffen up that upper lip | |
What you crying about | |
You got me | |
Hailie 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 life that I never had | |
I can see you're sad even when you smile even when you laugh | |
I can see it in your eyes deep inside you want to cry | |
Cuz you're scared I ain't there | |
Daddy's with you in your prayers | |
No more crying wipe them tears | |
Daddy's here no more nightmares | |
We gon' pull together through it we gon' do it | |
Laney uncles crazy aint he | |
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it | |
We're all we got in this world | |
When it spins when it swirls | |
When it whirls when it twirls | |
Two little beautiful girls | |
Lookin' puzzled in a daze | |
I know it's confusing you | |
Daddy's always on the move mamma's always on the news | |
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems | |
The harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me | |
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see | |
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did | |
We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me | |
But things have gotten so bad between us | |
I don't see us ever being together ever again | |
Like we used to be when we was teenagers | |
But then of course everything always happens for a reason | |
I guess it was never meant to be | |
But it's just something we have no control | |
over and that's what destiny is | |
But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep | |
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream | |
Now hush little baby don't you cry | |
Everything's gonna be alright | |
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady i told ya | |
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night | |
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why | |
We feel how we feel inside | |
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby | |
But i promise momma's gon' be alright | |
It's funny | |
I remember back one year when daddy had no money | |
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up | |
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me | |
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em | |
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying | |
Cuz daddy felt like a bum see daddy had a job | |
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom | |
And at the time every house that we lived in | |
Either kept getting broke into and robbed | |
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar | |
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college | |
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it | |
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart | |
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart | |
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back | |
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment | |
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara | |
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr.Dre | |
And flew you and momma out to see me | |
But daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me | |
Then you started seeing daddy on the TV and momma didn't like it | |
And you and Laney were to young to understand it | |
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit | |
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it | |
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand | |
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud | |
Now I'm sittin in this empty house just reminiscing | |
Lookin' at your baby pictures it just trips me out | |
To see how much you both have grown | |
it's almost like you're sisters now | |
Wow guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here | |
Laney I'm talkin' to you too daddy's still here | |
I like the sound of that yeah | |
It's got a ring to it don't it | |
Shh momma's only gone for the moment | |
Now hush little baby don't you cry | |
Everything's gonna be alright | |
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady i told ya | |
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night | |
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why | |
We feel how we feel inside | |
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby | |
But i promise momma's gon' be alright | |
And if you ask me too | |
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird | |
I'mma give you the world | |
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you | |
I'mma sing for you | |
I'll do anything for you to see you smile | |
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine | |
I'mma break that birdies neck | |
I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya | |
And make him eat every carat don't **** with dad (haha) |
Yeah | |
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now | |
But hey what daddy always tell you | |
