Mockingbird - Straight Up[00:00:00]

Yeah[00:00:03]

I know sometimes things may not[00:00:05]

Always make sense to you right now[00:00:08]

But hey what daddy always tell you [00:00:11]

Straighten up little soldier[00:00:14]

Stiffen up that upper lip[00:00:16]

What you crying about [00:00:19]

You got me [00:00:21]

Hailie I know you miss your mom [00:00:22]

And I know you miss your dad[00:00:24]

When I'm gone but I'm trying[00:00:26]

To give you the life that I never had[00:00:27]

I can see you're sad even when you smile [00:00:28]

Even when you laugh[00:00:30]

I can see it in your eyes deep inside you want to cry[00:00:31]

'Cause you're scared I ain't there [00:00:34]

Daddy's with you in your prayers[00:00:36]

No more crying wipe them tears[00:00:37]

Daddy's here no more nightmares[00:00:39]

We gon' pull together through it we gon' do it[00:00:40]

Lainie Uncle's crazy ain't he [00:00:42]

Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it[00:00:44]

We're all we got in this world[00:00:45]

When it spins when it swirls[00:00:47]

When it whirls when it twirls[00:00:49]

Two little beautiful girls[00:00:50]

Lookin' puzzled in a daze[00:00:51]

I know it's confusing you[00:00:53]

Daddy's always on the move mamma's always on the news[00:00:54]

I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems[00:00:57]

The harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me[00:01:00]

All the things growing up as daddy that he had to see[00:01:02]

Daddy don't want you to see but you see[00:01:05]

Just as much as he did[00:01:07]

We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me[00:01:08]

But things have gotten so bad between us[00:01:11]

I don't see us ever being together ever again[00:01:13]

Like we used to be when we was teenagers[00:01:15]

But then of course everything always happens for a reason[00:01:17]

I guess it was never meant to be[00:01:20]

But it's just something we have no control[00:01:22]

Over and that's what destiny is[00:01:23]

But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep[00:01:25]

Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will[00:01:28]

All just be a dream[00:01:30]

Now hush little baby don't you cry[00:01:31]

Everything's gonna be alright[00:01:34]

Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya[00:01:36]

Daddy's here to hold ya through the night[00:01:39]

I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why[00:01:41]

We feel how we feel inside[00:01:45]

It may seem a little crazy pretty baby[00:01:47]

But I promise mama's gon' be alright[00:01:50]

It's funny[00:01:53]

I remember back one year when daddy had no money[00:01:54]

Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up[00:01:56]

And stuck 'em under the tree and said[00:01:58]

Some of 'em were from me[00:02:00]

'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em[00:02:01]

I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up[00:02:02]

The whole night crying[00:02:04]

'Cause daddy felt like a bum see daddy had a job[00:02:05]

But his job was to keep the[00:02:08]

Food on the table for you and mom[00:02:09]

And at the time every house that we lived in[00:02:10]

Either kept getting broken into and robbed[00:02:13]

Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving[00:02:15]

Money for you in a jar[00:02:18]

Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college[00:02:19]

Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke[00:02:22]

In and stole it[00:02:25]

And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mamma's heart[00:02:25]

And it seemed like everything was just startin'[00:02:28]

To fall apart[00:02:30]

Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back[00:02:30]

On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment[00:02:33]

And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara[00:02:36]

And that's when daddy went to[00:02:39]

California with his CD and met Dr Dre[00:02:40]

And flew you and momma out to see me[00:02:43]

But daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me[00:02:45]

Then you started seeing daddy on the T V [00:02:48]

And momma didn't like it[00:02:50]

And you and Laney were too young to understand it[00:02:51]

That papa was a rollin' stone momma developed a habit[00:02:53]

And it all happened too fast for[00:02:56]

Either one of us to grab it[00:02:58]

I'm just sorry you were there and had to[00:02:59]

Witness it first hand[00:03:01]

'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud[00:03:02]

Now I'm sitting in this empty house just reminiscing[00:03:04]

Lookin' at your baby pictures it just trips me out[00:03:08]

To see how much you both have grown it's almost[00:03:10]

Like you're sisters now[00:03:12]

Wow I guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here[00:03:13]

Laney I'm talkin' to you too daddy's still here[00:03:16]

I like the sound of that yeah[00:03:19]

It's got a ring to it don't it [00:03:21]

Shh mama's only gone for the moment[00:03:22]

Now hush little baby don't you cry[00:03:24]

Everything's gonna be alright[00:03:27]

Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya[00:03:29]

Daddy's here to hold ya through the night[00:03:32]

I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why[00:03:35]

We feel how we feel inside[00:03:38]

It may seem a little crazy pretty baby[00:03:40]

But I promise mama's gon' be alright[00:03:43]

And if you ask me to[00:03:46]

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird[00:03:47]

I'mma give you the world[00:03:50]

I'mma buy a diamond ring for you[00:03:52]

I'mma sing for you[00:03:54]

I'll do anything for you to see you smile[00:03:55]

And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine[00:03:58]

I'mma break that birdie's neck[00:04:01]

I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya[00:04:03]

And make him eat every carat don't f**k with dad (ha ha)[00:04:06]
