It's I remember back one year when daddy had no Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy like 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 getting broken into and robbed Or 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 Almost had a dollars til someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it like everything was just startin' to fall 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 side of 8 Mile on And that's daddy went to California 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 were to young to it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma give you the I'mma buy a ring for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat fuck with dad (haha)
