Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me

Hailie, I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
Well Im gone but Im trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see youre sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Cause youre scared, I aint there?
Daddys with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddys here, no more nightmares
We gon pull together through it, we gon do it
Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
Were all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin puzzled, in a daze
I know its confusing you
Daddys always on the move, mammas always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up. As daddy there, he had to see.
Daddy dont want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I dont see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we were teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But its just something we have no control over and thats what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day well wake up and this will all just be a dream

Now hush little baby, dont you cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddys here to hold ya through the night
I know mommys not here right now and we dont know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise mommas gon be alright

Its funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck em under the tree and said some of em were from me
Cause daddy couldnt buy em
Ill never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars til someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mommas heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin a lot so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And thats when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
And flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didnt like it
And you and Laney were too young to understand it
Papa was a rollin stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
Im just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now Im sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
Lookin at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, its almost like youre sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddys still here
Laney Im talkin to you too, daddys still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
Its got a ring to it dont it?
Shh, mommas only gone for the moment

And if you ask me too
Daddys gonna buy you a mockingbird
Imma give you the world
Imma buy a diamond ring for you
Imma sing for you
Ill do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird dont sing and that ring dont shine
Imma break that birdies neck
Ill go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat dont fuck with dad (ha ha)
