Mockingbird - Grandmastaz[00:00:00]
Yeah[00:00:03]
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now[00:00:05]
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 and I know you miss your dad[00:00:22]
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had[00:00:26]
I can see you're sad even when you smile even when you laugh[00:00:28]
I can see it in your eyes deep inside you want to cry[00:00:31]
Cuz 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]
Laney uncles crazy ain't he[00:00:42]
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it[00:00:43]
We're all we got in this world[00:00:46]
When it spins when it swirls[00:00:47]
When it whirls when it twirls[00:00:48]
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[00:00:59]
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see[00:01:02]
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did[00:01:05]
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[00:01:24]
But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep[00:01:25]
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream[00:01:28]
Now hush little baby don't you cry[00:01:31]
Everything's gonna be alright[00:01:34]
Stiffen that upperlip 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 momma'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 some of 'em were from me[00:01:58]
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em[00:02:01]
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying[00:02:02]
Cuz daddy felt like a bum see daddy had a job[00:02:05]
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom[00:02:07]
And at the time every house that we lived in[00:02:10]
Either kept getting broke into and robbed[00:02:13]
Or shot up on the block[00:02:15]
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar[00:02:16]
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college[00:02:19]
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it[00:02:22]
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart[00:02:25]
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart[00:02:28]
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 California with his CD and met Dr Dre[00:02:39]
And flew you and momma out to see me[00:02:42]
But daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me[00:02:45]
Then you started seeing daddy on the TV and momma didn't like it[00:02:47]
And you and Laney were to young to understand it[00:02:51]
Papa was a rollin' stone momma developed a habit[00:02:53]
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it[00:02:56]
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand[00:02:59]
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud[00:03:02]
Now I'm sittin 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[00:03:10]
It's almost like you're sisters now[00:03:12]
Wow 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 momma'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 upperlip 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 momma's gon' be alright[00:03:43]
And if you ask me too[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[00:03:57]
I'mma break that birdies neck[00:04:01]
I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya[00:04:03]
And make him eat every carat don't f**k with dad (haha)[00:04:06]
