I know sometimes may not make sense to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell up little soldier Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you 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, even when you I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's you in your prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it We're all we got in this it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you Daddy's always on the move, mama's on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the it backfires on me All the things growing up his that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see 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 ever again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course everything happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's 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 we'll wake up and this will all just be a
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya through the I know not here 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
It's I remember back one year when daddy had no Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause daddy 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 and your mom was saving money for you in a jar start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy 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 was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's like you're sisters now Wow, you pretty 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?
