| [00:03.14] |
Yeah |
| [00:04.26] |
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now |
| [00:09.12] |
But hey, what daddy always tell you? |
| [00:12.89] |
Straighten up little soldier |
| [00:15.56] |
Stiffen up that upper lip |
| [00:18.24] |
What you crying about? |
| [00:20.73] |
You got me |
| [00:22.53] |
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad |
| [00:24.77] |
When Im gone but Im trying to give you the life that I never had |
| [00:27.85] |
I can see youre sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh |
| [00:30.22] |
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry |
| [00:33.76] |
Cuz youre scared, I aint there? |
| [00:35.26] |
Daddys with you in your prayers |
| [00:36.75] |
No more crying, wipe them tears |
| [00:38.24] |
Daddys here, no more nightmares |
| [00:39.49] |
We gon pull together through it, we gon do it |
| [00:41.54] |
Laney uncles crazy, aint he? |
| [00:43.16] |
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it |
| [00:44.98] |
Were all we got in this world |
| [00:46.66] |
When it spins, when it swirls |
| [00:48.09] |
When it whirls, when it twirls |
| [00:49.52] |
Two little beautiful girls |
| [00:50.83] |
Lookin puzzled, in a daze |
| [00:52.26] |
I know its confusing you |
| [00:53.56] |
Daddys always on the move, mammas always on the news |
| [00:56.43] |
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems |
| [00:58.73] |
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me |
| [01:00.91] |
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see |
| [01:03.97] |
Daddy dont want you to see but you see just as much as he did |
| [01:07.47] |
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me |
| [01:10.21] |
But things have gotten so bad between us |
| [01:12.20] |
I dont see us ever being together ever again |
| [01:14.13] |
Like we used to be when we was teenagers |
| [01:16.30] |
But then of course everything always happens for a reason |
| [01:18.98] |
I guess it was never meant to be |
| [01:21.22] |
But its just something we have no control over and thats what destiny is |
| [01:24.33] |
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep |
| [01:26.90] |
Maybe one day well wake up and this will all just be a dream |
| [01:29.57][Chorus] |
|
| [01:30.13] |
Now hush little baby, dont you cry |
| [01:32.99] |
Everythings gonna be alright |
| [01:34.86] |
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya |
| [01:38.03] |
Daddys here to hold ya through the night |
| [01:40.52] |
I know mommys not here right now and we dont know why |
| [01:43.94] |
We fear how we feel inside |
| [01:46.25] |
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| [01:49.17] |
But i promise mommas gon be alright |
| [01:52.17] |
Its funny |
| [01:53.04] |
I remember back one year when daddy had no money |
| [01:55.35] |
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up |
| [01:57.46] |
And stuck em under the tree and said some of em were from me |
| [01:59.64] |
Cuz daddy couldnt buy em |
| [02:01.51] |
Ill never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying |
| [02:03.81] |
Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job |
| [02:06.73] |
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom |
| [02:09.16] |
And at the time every house that we lived in |
| [02:12.14] |
Either kept getting broke into and robbed |
| [02:13.51] |
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar |
| [02:17.95] |
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college |
| [02:21.00] |
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it |
| [02:24.11] |
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mommas heart |
| [02:26.47] |
And it seemed like everything was just startin to fall apart |
| [02:29.27] |
Mom and dad was arguin a lot so momma moved back |
| [02:32.44] |
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment |
| [02:35.24] |
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara |
| [02:37.79] |
And thats when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre |
| [02:41.42] |
And flew you and momma out to see me |
| [02:43.78] |
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me |
| [02:46.40] |
