I know sometimes may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip What you crying 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 life that I had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe tears here, no more nightmares We gon' 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, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see as much as he did We did not plan it to be way, your 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 teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and what destiny is But no more worries, your head 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 Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we don't why We how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, baby But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year when had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole 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 that 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 piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on 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 seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma 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 sitting in this empty house, just at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
