I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, daddy always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
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 had I can see sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it We're all we got in this When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy he had to see Daddy want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
funny I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole crying Cause daddy 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 that we lived in kept getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to Almost had a thousand dollars til broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And when daddy 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 momma had to me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it hand Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the 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 gonna buy you a I'mma give you the I'mma buy a diamond 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 break that birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
