I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, what daddy always tell Straighten up little up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to you the life that I never 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 scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, always 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 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 together 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 that's what is But no worries, rest 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 gonna be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know mommy's not here now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, baby But I promise momma's be alright
funny I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and 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 on the table for you and mom And at the time house that we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or up on the block 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 dollars til someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's 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 daddy went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand 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 wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just 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 daddy's here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world buy a diamond ring for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't break that birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
