I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you now But hey, what always tell you? up little soldier Stiffen up that lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze I it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things up his daddy 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 have gotten so bad between us I don't see us being together ever again Like we to be when we were teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember back one year daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night Cause daddy felt 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 house that we in Either kept getting broken into and 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 could go to had a thousand dollars til someone broke 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 arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the side of 8 Mile 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 started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a stone, momma 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 hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm to you too, daddy's still 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 give you the world I'mma buy a ring for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine break that birdies neck I'll go to the jeweler who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
