[00:02.240]Yeah
[00:04.100]I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
[00:09.699]But hey, what daddy always tell you?
[00:13.359]Straighten up little soldier
[00:15.769]Stiffen up that upper lip
[00:18.599]What you crying about?
[00:20.489]You got me
[00:21.729]Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
[00:25.299]Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:27.639]I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
[00:30.669]I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
[00:33.389]Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
[00:34.809]Daddy's with you in your prayers
[00:36.199]No more crying, wipe them tears
[00:38.190]Daddy's here, no more nightmares
[00:39.190]We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
[00:41.149]Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
[00:42.870]Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
[00:44.789]We're all we got in this world
[00:46.139]When it spins, when it swirls
[00:47.469]When it whirls, when it twirls
[00:48.910]Two little beautiful girls
[00:50.370]Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
[00:51.690]I know it's confusing you
[00:53.109]Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
[00:55.919]I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
[00:58.419]The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
[01:01.219]All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
[01:04.130]Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
[01:07.800]We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
[01:10.390]But things have gotten so bad between us
[01:11.190]I don't see us ever being together ever again
[01:14.100]Like we used to be when we was teenagers
[01:15.820]But then of course everything always happens for a reason
[01:18.729]I guess it was never meant to be
[01:21.000]But it's just something we have no control
[01:22.360]over and that's what destiny is
[01:24.210]But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
[01:26.720]Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
[01:29.750]Now hush little baby, don't you cry
[01:32.460]Everything's gonna be alright
[01:34.449]Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya
[01:37.669]Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
[01:40.139]I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[01:43.880]We feel how we feel inside
[01:45.840]It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[01:49.000]But i promise momma's gon' be alright
[01:51.690]It's funny
[01:52.149]I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[01:54.960]Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
[01:56.710]And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
[01:59.320]Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
[02:00.720]I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
[02:03.700]Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
[02:06.180]But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
[02:09.190]And at the time every house that we lived in
[02:11.399]Either kept getting broke into and robbed
[02:13.489]Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
[02:17.999]Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
[02:20.309]Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
[02:24.990]And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
[02:26.129]And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
[02:29.290]Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
[02:32.900]On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
[02:34.829]And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
[02:37.359]And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
[02:41.399]And flew you and momma out to see me
[02:43.119]But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
[02:45.879]Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
[02:49.269]And you and Laney were to young to understand it
[02:51.869]Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
[02:54.709]And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
[02:57.489]I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
[03:00.189]Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[03:02.929]Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
[03:06.290]Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
[03:08.299]To see how much you both have grown,
[03:09.689]it's almost like you're sisters now
[03:11.599]Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
[03:14.719]Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
[03:17.899]I like the sound of that, yeah
[03:18.989]It's got a ring to it don't it?
[03:20.419]Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
[03:22.729]Now hush little baby, don't you cry
[03:25.419]Everything's gonna be alright
[03:27.399]Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya
[03:30.799]Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
[03:33.690]I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[03:36.759]We feel how we feel inside
[03:38.719]It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[03:41.449]But i promise momma's gon' be alright
[03:44.479]And if you ask me too
[03:45.449]Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
[03:48.139]I'mma give you the world
[03:50.190]I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
[03:51.859]I'mma sing for you
[03:52.839]I'll do anything for you to see you smile
[03:55.919]And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
[03:59.209]I'mma break that birdies neck
[04:01.249]I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya
[04:04.690]And make him eat every carat don't **** with dad （haha）
[04:08.699]END
