| [00:02.140] [Chorus] |
|
| [00:03.139] |
Yeah |
| [00:05.000] |
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now |
| [00:10.599] |
But hey, what daddy always tell you? |
| [00:14.259] |
Straighten up little soldier |
| [00:16.670] |
Stiffen up that upper lip |
| [00:19.500] |
What you crying about? |
| [00:22.100] |
|
| [00:22.200] |
You got me |
| [00:22.630] |
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad |
| [00:25.480] |
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had |
| [00:28.540] |
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh |
| [00:31.570] |
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry |
| [00:34.290] |
Cuz you're scared, I ain't there? |
| [00:35.709] |
Daddy's with you in your prayers |
| [00:37.990] |
No more crying, wipe them tears |
| [00:38.470] |
Daddy's here, no more nightmares |
| [00:39.919] |
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it |
| [00:42.500] |
Laney uncles crazy, aint he? |
| [00:43.769] |
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it |
| [00:45.690] |
We're all we got in this world |
| [00:47.400] |
When it spins, when it swirls |
| [00:49.000] |
When it whirls, when it twirls |
| [00:49.809] |
Two little beautiful girls |
| [00:51.269] |
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze |
| [00:52.589] |
I know it's confusing you |
| [00:54.990] |
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news |
| [00:56.820] |
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems |
| [00:59.500] |
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me |
| [01:02.120] |
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see |
| [01:05.300] |
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did |
| [01:07.980] |
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me |
| [01:10.490] |
But things have gotten so bad between us |
| [01:12.899] |
I don't see us ever being together ever again |
| [01:15.000] |
Like we used to be when we was teenagers |
| [01:16.720] |
But then of course everything always happens for a reason |
| [01:19.630] |
I guess it was never meant to be |
| [01:21.450] |
But it's just something we have no control |
| [01:23.260] |
over and that's what destiny is |
| [01:25.110] |
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep |
| [01:27.619] |
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream |
| [01:30.649] |
Now hush little baby, don't you cry |
| [01:30.800] |
|
| [01:33.899] |
Everything's gonna be alright |
| [01:35.800] |
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya |
| [01:38.570] |
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night |
| [01:42.200] |
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why |
| [01:44.779] |
We feel how we feel inside |
| [01:46.740] |
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| [01:49.450] |
But i promise momma's gon' be alright |
| [01:52.140] |
|
| [01:52.589] |
It's funny |
| [01:53.500] |
I remember back one year when daddy had no money |
| [01:55.860] |
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up |
| [01:57.610] |
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me |
| [02:00.220] |
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em |
| [02:01.619] |
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying |
| [02:04.420] |
Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job |
| [02:07.800] |
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom |
| [02:09.919] |
And at the time every house that we lived in |
| [02:12.300] |
Either kept getting broke into and robbed |
| [02:15.190] |
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar |
| [02:18.449] |
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college |
| [02:21.210] |
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it |
| [02:24.460] |
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart |
| [02:27.300] |
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart |
| [02:29.930] |
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back |
| [02:32.909] |
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment |
| [02:35.728] |
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara |
| [02:38.259] |
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre |
| [02:42.300] |
And flew you and momma out to see me |
| [02:44.199] |
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me |
| [02:46.780] |
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it |
| [02:50.170] |
And you and Laney were to young to understand it |
| [02:52.770] |
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit |
| [02:55.610] |
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it |
| [02:59.190] |
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand |
| [03:01.900] |
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud |
| [03:03.830] |
Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing |
| [03:06.930] |
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out |
| [03:09.199] |
To see how much you both have grown, |
| [03:10.590] |
it's almost like you're sisters now |
| [03:12.409] |
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here |
| [03:15.620] |
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here |
| [03:18.440] |
I like the sound of that, yeah |
| [03:19.889] |
It's got a ring to it don't it? |
| [03:21.490] |
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment |
| [03:23.259] |
|
| [03:23.629] |
Now hush little baby, don't you cry |
| [03:26.490] |
Everything's gonna be alright |
| [03:28.300] |
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya |
| [03:31.430] |
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night |
| [03:33.970] |
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why |
| [03:37.659] |
We feel how we feel inside |
| [03:39.620] |
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| [03:42.790] |
But i promise momma's gon' be alright |
| [03:45.789] |
|
| [03:46.790] |
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird |
| [03:46.900] |
And if you ask me too |
| [03:49.400] |
I'mma give you the world |
| [03:50.920] |
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you |
| [03:52.759] |
I'mma sing for you |
| [03:53.740] |
I'll do anything for you to see you smile |
| [03:56.819] |
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine |
| [04:00.110] |
I'mma break that birdies neck |
| [04:02.150] |
I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya |
| [04:04.970] |
And make him eat every carat don't **** with dad （haha） |
| [04:07.669] |
|
| [04:08.190] |
|
| [04:09.599] |
END |
