I know things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what always tell you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it but it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of everything always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright that upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every house we lived in Either kept getting into and robbed Or shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand til someone broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand 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 there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing at your baby 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 daddy's here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that birdies I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't with dad (haha)
