I sometimes things may not make sense 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 mom and I know you miss your 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, when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull 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, when it When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful 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 growing up his that he had to see Daddy want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be when we were But then of course everything 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 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 gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise momma's be alright
funny I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we in Either kept getting into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara 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 seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you 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 at your baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's buy you a mockingbird I'mma you the world 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 I'mma break that neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
