I sometimes things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I you miss your dad Well I'm 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 I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's with you in prayers No crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull 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 world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing 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 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 way, your mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being together 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 just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I momma's gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the 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 the food on the table for you and mom And at the time every house 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 start a bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone in and stole it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara And that's daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and 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 for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still 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, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world I'mma buy a ring for you I'mma for you do anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
