[00:03.31] Yeah

[00:03.65] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:07.61] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:10.26] Straighten up little soldier

[00:12.14] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:14.27] What you crying about?

[00:15.86] You got me

[00:16.85] Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad

[00:18.97] When I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:21.36] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:23.49] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:25.61] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:28.02] No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:30.40] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:32.26] Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:34.65] We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls

[00:36.77] When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls

[00:38.90] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you

[00:41.02] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[00:43.43] I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems

[00:45.55] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[00:47.41] All the things growing up, his daddy, daddy had to see

[00:49.54] Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did

[00:51.93] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[00:54.05] But things have gotten so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together

[00:56.44] Ever again like we used to be when we was teenagers

[00:58.85] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:01.24] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:02.57] But it's just something we have no control, over and that's what destiny is

[01:04.96] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:07.35] Maybe one day we'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream

[01:09.21] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:11.60] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:13.19] Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya

[01:15.58] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:17.44] I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why

[01:20.10] We fear how we feel inside

[01:22.02] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:24.15] But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[01:26.54] Huh, it's funny

[01:27.33] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:28.87] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree

[01:31.00] And said, "Some of 'em were from me, 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em"

[01:33.39] I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying

[01:35.51] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum

[01:36.58] See daddy had a job

[01:37.64] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[01:39.76] And at the time every house that we lived in

[01:41.92] Either kept getting broke into and robbed

[01:42.95] Or shot up on the block

[01:44.28] And your Mom was saving money for you in a jar

[01:46.40] Tryna start a piggy bank for you, so you could go to college

[01:48.53] Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it

[01:50.65] And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heart

[01:53.31] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[01:55.20] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back

[01:57.58] On the Chalmers in the flat one-bedroom apartment

[01:59.75] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[02:01.88] And that's when daddy went to California with his C.D

[02:04.01] And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and momma out to see me

[02:06.13] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:08.26] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V

[02:10.11] And momma didn't like it, and you and Laney were to young to understand it

[02:12.77] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[02:14.91] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:17.33] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[02:19.45] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[02:21.58] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house

[02:23.16] Just reminiscing, lookin' at your baby pictures

[02:25.02] It just trips me out

[02:25.82] To see how much you both have grown

[02:27.16] It's almost like you're sisters now

[02:27.95] Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here

[02:30.39] Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[02:32.79] I like the sound of that, yeah, It's got a ring to it, don't it?

[02:34.91] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[02:36.50] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[02:38.90] Everything's gonna be alright

[02:40.49] Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya

[02:42.89] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[02:44.75] I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why

[02:47.66] We fear how we feel inside

[02:49.25] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[02:51.38] But I promise, momma's gon' be alright

[02:53.51] And if you ask me too

[02:54.32] Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird

[02:56.45] I'ma give you the world

[02:57.79] I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you

[03:00.18] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:02.30] And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine

[03:04.96] I'ma break that birdies neck

[03:06.56] I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[03:08.95] And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
