Yeah[00:00:02]
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now[00:00:04]
But hey, what daddy always tell you?[00:00:10]
Straighten up little soldier[00:00:13]
Stiffen up that upper lip[00:00:16]
What you crying about?[00:00:19]
You got me[00:00:20]
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[00:00:24]
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?[00:00:33]
Daddy's with you in your prayers[00:00:35]
No more crying, wipe them tears[00:00:36]
Daddy's here, no more nightmares[00:00:37]
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it[00:00:39]
Laney uncles crazy, aint he?[00:00:41]
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it[00:00:43]
We're all we got in this world[00:00:45]
When it spins, when it swirls[00:00:46]
When it whirls, when it twirls[00:00:47]
Two little beautiful girls[00:00:49]
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze[00:00:50]
I know it's confusing you[00:00:52]
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news[00:00:53]
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems[00:00:56]
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me[00:00:58]
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see[00:01:01]
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did[00:01:04]
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me[00:01:07]
But things have gotten so bad between us[00:01:09]
I don't see us ever being together ever again[00:01:11]
Like we used to be when we was teenagers[00:01:14]
But then of course everything always happens for a reason[00:01:16]
I guess it was never meant to be[00:01:19]
But it's just something we have no control[00:01:20]
Over and that's what destiny is[00:01:22]
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep[00:01:24]
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream[00:01:27]
Now hush little baby, don't you cry[00:01:30]
Everything's gonna be alright[00:01:32]
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya[00:01:34]
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night[00:01:38]
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why[00:01:40]
We feel how we feel inside[00:01:44]
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby[00:01:46]
But i promise momma's gon' be alright[00:01:48]
It's funny[00:01:52]
I remember back one year when daddy had no money[00:01:52]
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up[00:01:55]
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me[00:01:57]
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em[00:01:59]
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying[00:02:01]
Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job[00:02:03]
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom[00:02:06]
And at the time every house that we lived in[00:02:09]
Either kept getting broke into and robbed[00:02:11]
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar[00:02:13]
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college[00:02:17]
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it[00:02:20]
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart[00:02:23]
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart[00:02:26]
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back[00:02:29]
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment[00:02:32]
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara[00:02:35]
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre[00:02:37]
And flew you and momma out to see me[00:02:41]
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me[00:02:43]
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it[00:02:46]
And you and Laney were to young to understand it[00:02:49]
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit[00:02:52]
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it[00:02:55]
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand[00:02:57]
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud[00:03:00]
Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing[00:03:03]
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out[00:03:06]
To see how much you both have grown,[00:03:08]
It's almost like you're sisters now[00:03:10]
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here[00:03:11]
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here[00:03:15]
I like the sound of that, yeah[00:03:17]
It's got a ring to it don't it?[00:03:19]
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment[00:03:20]
Now hush little baby, don't you cry[00:03:23]
Everything's gonna be alright[00:03:25]
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya[00:03:27]
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night[00:03:30]
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why[00:03:33]
We feel how we feel inside[00:03:37]
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby[00:03:39]
But i promise momma's gon' be alright[00:03:41]
And if you ask me too[00:03:44]
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird[00:03:45]
I'mma give you the world[00:03:48]
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you[00:03:50]
I'mma sing for you[00:03:52]
I'll do anything for you to see you smile[00:03:53]
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine[00:03:56]
I'mma break that birdies neck[00:03:59]
I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya[00:04:01]
And make him eat every carat don't f**k with dad (haha)[00:04:04]
