[00:21.80] but i'm tryin' to give you the life that i never had

[00:23.42] i can see you sad

[00:24.51] even when you smile

[00:25.57] even when you laugh

[00:26.36] i can see it in your eyes

[00:27.73] deep inside, you wanna cry

[00:28.78] cuz you're scared

[00:29.61] i ain't there? daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:31.21] no more cryin', wipe them tears

[00:32.27] daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:33.60] we gon' pull together through it

[00:34.66] we gon' do it

[00:35.72] laynee, uncle's crazy ain't he

[00:36.78] yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:38.40] world we got in this world

[00:39.19] when it spins, when it swirls

[00:40.52] when it whirls, when it twirls

[00:41.84] two little beautiful girls

[00:42.92] lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:43.98] i know it's confusin' you

[00:45.33] daddy's always on the move, mommy's always in the news

[00:47.72] i try to keep you sheltered from it

[00:49.05] but somehow it seems

[00:50.11] the harder that i try to do that

[00:51.17] the more it backfires on me

[00:52.51] all the things growing up as daddy that he had to see

[00:54.39] daddy don't want you to see

[00:55.73] but you see just as much as he did

[00:57.08] we did not plan it to be this way

[00:58.14] your mother and me

[00:59.47] but things have got so bad between us

[01:00.53] i don't see us ever being together

[01:02.66] ever again

[01:02.92] like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:04.25] but then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:06.38] i guess it was never meant to be

[01:08.24] but it's just something we have no control over

[01:09.83] and that's what destiny is

[01:11.42] well no more worries

[01:12.50] rest your head and go to sleep

[01:13.83] maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream

[01:15.95] chorus:

[01:16.22] now hush little baby don't you cry

[01:18.34] everything's gonna be alright

[01:19.95] stiffen that upper lip up

[01:21.27] little lady, i told ya

[01:22.61] daddy's gonna hold ya

[01:23.68] through the night

[01:24.74] i know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:27.40] we feel how we feel inside

[01:29.27] it may seem a little crazy

[01:30.61] pretty baby

[01:31.68] but i promise: momma's gonna be alright

[01:34.06] it's funny

[01:34.86] i remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:36.72] mommy wrapped the christmas

[01:38.31] presents up and stuck em' under the tree

[01:39.65] and said some of em' were from me

[01:40.70] cuz daddy couldn't buy em'

[01:42.03] i'll never forget that christmas

[01:43.10] i sat up the whole night cryin'

[01:44.42] cuz daddy felt like a bum

[01:45.48] see daddy had a job

[01:46.55] but his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[01:48.67] and at the time

[01:49.73] every house that we lived in

[01:51.06] either kept getting broken into and robbed

[01:52.65] or shot up on the block

[01:53.72] and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[01:55.88] tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so

[01:57.48] that you could go to college

[01:58.83] almost had a thousand dollars

[01:59.88] till someone broke in and stole it

[02:01.20] and i know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart

[02:03.08] and it seemed like everything was starting to fall apart

[02:05.21] mom and dad was arguin' alot so momma

[02:07.61] moved back on the traumas on a falt

[02:09.21] one bedroom appartment

[02:10.53] and dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on navara

[02:12.67] and that's when daddy went to california with his cd

[02:14.78] and met dr dre, and flew you and momma out to see me

[02:17.18] but daddy had to work

[02:18.76] you and momma had to leave me

[02:19.83] then you started to see me on the tv

[02:21.43] and momma didn't like it

[02:22.75] and you an' laynee were too young to understand it

[02:24.34] pappa was a rolling stone, momma developed a habit

[02:26.73] and it all happened to fast

[02:28.33] for either one of us to grab it

[02:29.41] i'm just sorry you were there

[02:30.47] and had to witness it first hand

[02:31.82] cuz all i ever wanted to do was make you proud

[02:33.69] now i'm sittin' in this empty house

[02:35.81] just reminising lookin' at your baby pictures

[02:37.39] it just trips me out

[02:38.72] to see how much you both have grown

[02:40.06] it's almost like your sisters now

[02:41.38] wow, guess you pretty mucn are

[02:42.70] and daddy's still here
