I know you miss your mom and I know 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 you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you always on the move, mamma's always on the news I try to keep you 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 don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever together ever again we used to be when we were teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream

It's I remember back one year when daddy had no wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll 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 every that we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and stole it And I know it 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 Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy 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 started seeing daddy on the T.V. and didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever wanted to do was just you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
