Eminem mocking bird (slowed and reverb)

[00:10.38] Yeah, I know sometimes

[00:14.69] Things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:19.02] But hey, what'd daddy always tell you?

[00:23.02] Straighten up, little soldier

[00:25.53] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:28.62] What you cryin' about?

[00:30.71] You got me

[00:32.03] Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad

[00:34.93] When I'm gone, but I'm tryna give you the life that I never had

[00:38.43] I can see you're sad even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:41.19] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside, you wanna cry

[00:44.99] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:47.91] No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:50.99] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:53.29] Lainie, uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it

[00:56.92] We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls

[01:00.23] When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls

[01:03.06] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you

[01:05.86] Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news

[01:09.68] I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow, it seems

[01:12.06] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[01:15.13] All the things growin' up as daddy that he had to see

[01:17.94] Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did

[01:21.43] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[01:24.18] But things have got so bad between us

[01:25.75] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[01:29.04] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:31.13] But then, of course, everything always happens for a reason

[01:34.20] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:36.02] But it's just something we have no control over, and that's what destiny is

[01:40.55] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:42.86] Maybe one day, we'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream

[01:45.66] Now hush, little baby, don't you cry

[01:48.66] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:50.91] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

[01:54.41] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:57.41] I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why

[02:01.47] We feel how we feel inside

[02:03.80] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[02:06.36] But I promise mama's gon' be alright

[02:09.61] Huh, it's funny

[02:10.94] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[02:13.28] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree

[02:16.84] And said some of 'em were from me, 'cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[02:19.84] I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying

[02:22.84] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see, daddy had a job

[02:25.77] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[02:28.81] And at the time, every house that we lived in

[02:31.34] Either kept gettin' broken into and robbed

[02:33.63] Or shot up on the block

[02:35.14] And your mom was savin' money for you in a jar

[02:38.13] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[02:41.12] Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it

[02:44.62] And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your mama's heart

[02:47.68] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:50.53] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot

[02:52.82] So mama moved back on to Chalmers in a flat one-bedroom apartment

[02:56.39] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[03:00.02] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD

[03:02.84] And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and mama out to see me

[03:05.95] But daddy had to work, you and mama had to leave me

[03:08.77] Then you started seeing daddy on the TV, and mama didn't like it

[03:12.81] And you and Lainie were too young to understand it

[03:15.38] Papa was a rolling stone, mama developed a habit

[03:18.43] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[03:21.68] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first-hand

[03:24.74] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[03:27.81] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house

[03:30.22] Just reminiscin', lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[03:33.51] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[03:37.37] Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here

[03:40.66] Lainie, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[03:43.24] I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it, don't it?

[03:46.78] Shh, mama's only gone for the moment

[03:48.81] Now hush, little baby, don't you cry

[03:51.87] Everything's gonna be alright

[03:54.12] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

[03:57.36] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[04:00.38] I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why

[04:04.43] We feel how we feel inside

[04:06.47] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[04:09.47] But I promise mama's gon' be alright

[04:12.54] And if you ask me to, daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[04:16.84] I'ma give you the world

[04:18.84] I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you

[04:22.09] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[04:25.21] And if that mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine

[04:29.03] I'ma break that birdie's neck

[04:31.27] I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[04:34.03] And make him eat every carat, don't fuck with dad
