Written by:Marshall Mathers/Luis Resto[00:00:00]
Yeah I know sometimes[00:00:03]
Things may not always make sense to you right now[00:00:06]
But hey what'd Daddy always tell you[00:00:10]
Straighten up little soldier[00:00:14]
Stiffen up that upper lip[00:00:16]
What you cryin' about you got me[00:00:19]
Hailie I know you miss your mom[00:00:22]
And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone[00:00:24]
But I'm tryin' 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 wanna cry[00:00:31]
Cause you're scared I ain't there[00:00:34]
Daddy's with you in your prayers[00:00:35]
No more crying wipe them tears[00:00:37]
Daddy's here no more nightmares[00:00:38]
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[00:00:43]
We're all we got in this world[00:00:45]
When it spins when it swirls when it whirls when it twirls[00:00:47]
Two little beautiful girls[00:00:50]
Looking puzzled in a daze I know it's confusing you[00:00:51]
Daddy's always on the move[00:00:54]
Momma's always on the news[00:00:55]
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 as Daddy that he had to see[00:01:02]
Daddy don't want you to see[00:01:05]
But you see just as much as he did[00:01:06]
We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me[00:01:08]
But things have got so bad between us[00:01:10]
I don't see us ever being together ever again[00:01:12]
Like we used to be when we was teenagers[00:01:15]
But then of course everything always happens for a reason[00:01:16]
I guess it was never meant to be[00:01:20]
But it's just something we have no control over[00:01:21]
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'll all just be a dream[00:01:27]
Hook[00:01:30]
Now hush little baby don't you cry[00:01:31]
Everything's gonna be alright[00:01:33]
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya[00:01:35]
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night[00:01:39]
I know Mommy's not here right now[00:01:41]
And we don't know why[00:01:43]
We fear 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[00:01:49]
Heh it's funny[00:01:53]
I remember back one year when Daddy had no money[00:01:53]
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up[00:01:56]
And stuck 'em under the tree[00:01:57]
And said some of 'em were from me[00:01:59]
Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em[00:02:00]
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night cryin'[00:02:01]
Cause Daddy felt like a bum see Daddy had a job[00:02:04]
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 broken into and robbed or shot up on the block[00:02:12]
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar[00:02:16]
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college[00:02:19]
Almost had a thousand dollars[00:02:21]
'Til someone broke in and stole it[00:02:23]
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart[00:02:25]
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart[00:02:27]
Mom and Dad was arguing a lot[00:02:30]
So Momma moved back on to Chalmers[00:02:32]
In the flat one bedroom apartment[00:02:34]
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[00:02:39]
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Momma out to see me[00:02:41]
But Daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me[00:02:44]
Then you started seeing Daddy on the TV[00:02:47]
And Momma didn't like it[00:02:49]
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it[00:02:51]
Papa was a rolling 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]
Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud[00:03:01]
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house[00:03:04]
Just reminiscing looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out[00:03:06]
To see how much you both have grown[00:03:10]
It's almost like you're sisters now[00:03:11]
Wow guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here[00:03:13]
Lainie I'm talking to you too daddy's still here[00:03:16]
I like the sound of that yeah it's got a ring to it don't it[00:03:19]
Sssshhh Momma's only gone for the moment[00:03:21]
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[00:03:34]
And we don't know why[00:03:37]
We fear 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 to Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird[00:03:46]
I'ma give you the world[00:03:50]
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you I'ma sing for you[00:03:52]
I'll do anything for you to see you smile[00:03:54]
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine[00:03:57]
I'ma 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]
