I sometimes things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy tell you? Straighten up soldier Stiffen up upper lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss 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 you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to you sheltered from 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 don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a 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 this will all just be a
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were 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 every house we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it seemed like was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on And that's when daddy went to California 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 daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a ring for you sing for you I'll do 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 back to the jeweler who it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
