I know things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what always tell you? Straighten up little up that upper lip What you crying You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss dad Well I'm gone but I'm to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't Daddy's with you in your No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no more We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it all we got in this world When it spins, when it When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mamma's always 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 up his daddy 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 this way, your and me But things gotten 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 always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we no control over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now little baby, don't you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to hold ya the night I mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We how we feel inside It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I momma's gon' be alright
It's I remember back one year when had no money Mommy the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause daddy buy 'em never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every that we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand til someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma back On the in the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney were to to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were and had to witness it first hand all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at baby pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like 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 sound of that, It's got a ring to it it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
