It's I remember back one year when had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget 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 house that we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to 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 daddy went to with 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 seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were and had to witness it first hand Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
