[00:02.82] Yeah

[00:04.55] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:08.31] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:11.07] Straighten up little soldier

[00:13.57] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:16.31] What you crying about?

[00:17.81] You got me

[00:19.06] Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad

[00:21.31] When I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:23.06] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:26.06] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:28.06] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:30.82] No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:33.32] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:35.56] Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:38.31] We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls

[00:40.32] When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls

[00:42.81] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you

[00:45.07] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[00:47.55] I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems

[00:49.31] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[00:51.32] All the things growing up, his daddy, daddy had to see

[00:53.57] Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did

[00:56.31] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[00:58.81] But things have gotten so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together

[01:00.81] Ever again like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:05.06] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:06.81] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:08.31] But it's just something we have no control, over and that's what destiny is

[01:09.81] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:13.07] Maybe one day we'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream

[01:15.81] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:17.56] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:19.57] Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya

[01:22.06] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:23.81] I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why

[01:27.57] We fear how we feel inside

[01:29.81] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:30.57] But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[01:33.07] Huh, it's funny

[01:35.06] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:36.57] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree

[01:39.07] And said, "Some of 'em were from me, 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em"

[01:41.32] I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying

[01:43.32] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum

[01:45.06] See daddy had a job

[01:46.56] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[01:48.57] And at the time every house that we lived in

[01:50.82] Either kept getting broke into and robbed

[01:52.06] Or shot up on the block

[01:53.32] And your Mom was saving money for you in a jar

[01:55.57] Tryna start a piggy bank for you, so you could go to college

[01:57.56] Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it

[02:01.82] And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heart

[02:03.06] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:05.06] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back

[02:07.81] On the Chalmers in the flat one-bedroom apartment

[02:10.32] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[02:12.56] And that's when daddy went to California with his C.D

[02:14.07] And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and momma out to see me

[02:17.32] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:19.56] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V

[02:20.81] And momma didn't like it, and you and Laney were to young to understand it

[02:23.06] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[02:26.06] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:29.32] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[02:31.31] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[02:33.56] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house

[02:35.81] Just reminiscing, lookin' at your baby pictures

[02:37.31] It just trips me out

[02:38.57] To see how much you both have grown

[02:40.81] It's almost like you're sisters now

[02:42.31] Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here

[02:43.56] Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[02:45.57] I like the sound of that, yeah, It's got a ring to it, don't it?

[02:47.32] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[02:50.32] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[02:52.32] Everything's gonna be alright

[02:54.31] Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya

[02:56.81] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[02:58.57] I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why

[03:01.06] We fear how we feel inside

[03:03.56] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:05.06] But I promise, momma's gon' be alright

[03:06.81] And if you ask me too

[03:09.06] Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird

[03:11.56] I'ma give you the world

[03:13.31] I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you

[03:15.31] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:17.82] And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine

[03:20.82] I'ma break that birdies neck

[03:22.57] I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[03:26.56] And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
