I know things may not Always sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up little up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss 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 eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I there? with you in your prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he you girl and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little beautiful puzzled, in a daze I know it's you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered 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 this way, your and me But things have gotten so bad us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and will all just be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen upper lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's to hold ya through the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise momma's gon' be
It's I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time house that we lived in Either kept getting into and robbed Or up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And when 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 like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were 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, just Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma give you the I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if that mockingbird don't and that ring don't shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
