Intro: |
I know sometimes |
Things may not always make sense |
To you right now |
But hey |
What daddy always tell you? |
Straighten up little soldier |
Stiffen up that upper lip |
What you crying about? |
You got me |
Hailie 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 never had |
I can see you're sad |
Even when you smile |
Even when you laugh |
I can see it in your eyes, |
Deep inside you want to cry |
Cause you're scared, I ain't there? |
Daddy's with you in your prayers |
No more crying, wipe them tears |
Daddy's here, no more nightmares |
We gon' pull together through it |
We gon' do it' |
Laney uncles crazy, ain't he? |
Yeah but he loves you girl |
And you better know it |
We're all we got in this world |
When it spins, when it swirls |
When it whirls, when it twirls |
Two little beautiful girls |
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze |
I know it's confusing you |
Daddy's always on the move |
Mama's always on the news |
I try to keep you sheltered from it |
But somehow it seems |
The harder that I try to do that |
The more it backfires on me |
All the things growing up his daddy |
That he had to see |
Daddy don't want you to see |
But you see just as much as he did |
We did not plan it to be this way |
Your mother and me |
But things have gotten so bad |
Between us I don't see us ever being |
Together ever again |
Like we used to be |
When we were teenagers |
But then of course everything |
Always happens for a reason |
I guess it was never meant to be |
But it's just something we |
Have no control over and |
That's what destiny is |
But no more worries, rest your head |
And go to sleep |
Maybe one day we'll wake up |
And this will all just be a dream |
Now hush little baby, don't you cry |
Everything's gonna be alright |
Stiffen that upper lip up |
Little lady, I told ya |
Daddy's here to hold ya |
Through the night |
I know mommy's not here right now |
And we don't know why |
We fear how we feel inside |
It may seem a little crazy |
Pretty baby but I promise |
Momma's gon' be alright |
It's funny |
I remember back one year |
When daddy had no money |
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents |
Up and stuck 'em under the tree |
And said some of 'em were from me |
Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em |
I'll never forget that Christmas |
I sat up the whole night crying |
Cause daddy felt like a bum |
See daddy had a job |
But his job was to keep |
The food on the table for you and mom |
And at the time |
Every house that we lived in |
Either kept getting broken into |
And robbed or shot up on the block |
And your mom was saving money |
For you in a jar |
Tryna start a piggy bank |
For you so you could go to college |
Almost had a thousand dollars |
Till someone broke in and stole it |
And I know it hurt so bad |
It broke your momma's heart |
And it seemed like everything |
Was just startin' to fall apart |
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot |
So momma moved back |
On the Chalmers in the flat |
One bedroom apartment |
And dad moved back to the other |
Side of 8 Mile on Novara |
And that's when daddy went |
To California with his CD |
And met Dr. Dre and flew |
You and momma out to see me |
But daddy had to work |
You and momma had to leave me |
Then you started seeing daddy |
On the T.V. |
And momma didn't like it |
And you and Laney |
Were to young to understand it |
Papa was a rollin' stone |
Momma developed a habit |
And it all happened too fast |
For either one of us to grab it |
I'm just sorry you were there |
And had to witness it first hand |
Cause all I ever wanted to do |
Was just make you proud |
Now I'm sitting in this empty house |
Just reminiscing |
Lookin' at your baby pictures |
It just trips me out |
To see how much you both have grown |
It's almost like you're sisters now |
Wow, guess you pretty much are |
And daddy's still here |
Laney I'm talkin' to you too |
Daddy's still here |
I like the sound of that, yeah |
It's got a ring to it don't it? |
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment |
Now hush little baby, don't you cry |
Everything's gonna be alright |
Stiffen that upper lip up |
Little lady, I told ya |
Daddy's here to hold ya |
Through the night |
I know mommy's not here right now |
And we don't know why |
We fear how we feel inside |
It may seem a little crazy |
Pretty baby |
But I promise momma's gon' be alright |
Bridge: |
x2 |
And if you ask me too |
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird |
I'mma give you the world |
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you |
I'mma sing for you |
I'll do anything for you |
To see you smile |
And if that mockingbird |
Don't sing and that ring don't shine |
I'mma break that birdies neck |
I'll go back to the jeweler |
Who sold it to ya |
And make him eat every carat |
Don't fuck with dad (ha ha) |
