I sometimes things may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always you? Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you your dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things growing up his daddy 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 this way, mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course everything always for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day we'll up and this will all just be a dream

funny I remember back one when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em the tree and said 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 felt like a bum, see 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 kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till broke in and stole it And I it hurt 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 one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to 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 didn't it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were there and had to it first hand Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud 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 like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the sound of that, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma give you the buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird sing and that ring don't shine break that birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
