[00:08.05] Yeah

[00:11.80] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:17.80] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:21.29] Straighten up little soldier

[00:23.55] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:26.55] What you crying about?

[00:28.29] You got me.

[00:29.79] Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad

[00:32.80] When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:35.79] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:39.05] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:41.55] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:43.05] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:44.29] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:45.80] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:47.04] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:49.30] Lainie Uncle's crazy, ain't he?

[00:51.05] Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:53.04] We're all we got in this world

[00:54.54] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:55.80] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:57.30] Two little beautiful girls

[00:58.79] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[01:00.04] I know it's confusing you

[01:01.54] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[01:04.29] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[01:06.79] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[01:09.80] All the things growing up as daddy, that he had to see

[01:12.30] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[01:15.29] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[01:18.04] But things have got so bad between us

[01:19.79] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[01:22.29] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:24.30] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:27.30] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:29.05] But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

[01:33.55] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:35.29] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[01:38.04] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:40.80] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:43.05] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

[01:46.30] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:49.04] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:52.29] We fear how we feel inside

[01:54.54] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:57.29] But I promise mama's gon' be alright

[01:59.55] (Ha)

[02:00.29] It's funny

[02:01.05] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[02:03.30] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

[02:05.05] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[02:07.79] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[02:09.05] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[02:13.05] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[02:14.79] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[02:17.54] And at the time every house that we lived in

[02:20.05] Either kept getting broken into and robbed

[02:22.29] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[02:26.30] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[02:29.29] Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it

[02:32.30] And I know it hurts so bad it broke your mamma's heart

[02:34.80] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:37.55] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[02:40.80] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[02:43.29] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[02:46.30] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[02:49.77] And flew you and momma out to see me

[02:51.76] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:54.52] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it

[02:58.27] And you and Lainnie were too young to understand it

[03:00.53] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[03:03.27] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[03:06.27] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[03:09.02] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[03:12.03] Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing

[03:14.52] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[03:17.28] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[03:20.28] Wow, I guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[03:23.77] Lainnie I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[03:26.28] I like the sound of that, yeah

[03:28.02] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[03:29.26] Shh, mama's only gone for the moment

[03:31.52] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[03:34.28] Everything's gonna be alright

[03:36.52] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

[03:39.52] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[03:41.77] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:45.72] We fear how we feel inside

[03:47.72] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:50.47] But I promise mama's gon' be alright

[03:53.47] And if you ask me to

[03:54.47] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[03:56.97] I'mma give you the world

[03:58.97] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

[04:01.22] I'mma sing for you

[04:02.22] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[04:04.72] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[04:08.22] I'mma break that birdie's neck

[04:10.47] I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[04:13.23] And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
