Eminem - Mockingbird

[00:00.83] Yeah

[00:02.96] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:10.13] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:12.84] Straighten up little soldier

[00:15.49] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:18.68] What you crying about?

[00:20.54] You got me

[00:21.16] Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad

[00:24.35] When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:27.27] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:30.73] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:33.65] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:34.98] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:36.38] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:37.79] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:39.11] We gonna pull together through it, we gonna do it

[00:41.12] Laney uncles crazy, ain't he?

[00:42.50] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:44.14] We're all we got in this world

[00:46.27] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:47.69] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:48.05] Two little beautiful girls

[00:50.10] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:51.96] I know it's confusing you

[00:53.29] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[00:55.95] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[00:58.34] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[01:01.52] All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see

[01:04.18] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[01:06.84] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[01:09.78] But things have gotten so bad between us

[01:11.63] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[01:14.29] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:16.15] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:18.54] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:20.67] But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

[01:23.60] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:27.04] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[01:29.58] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:32.24] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:34.09] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[01:37.55] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:40.21] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:43.39] We fear how we feel inside

[01:45.54] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:48.46] But I promise momma's gonna be alright

[01:50.85] It's funny

[01:52.44] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:55.09] Mommy wrapped the christmas presents up

[01:56.85] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[01:59.48] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[02:01.08] I'll never forget that christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[02:03.29] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[02:06.24] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[02:09.04] And at the time every house that we lived in

[02:11.97] Either kept getting broke into and robbed

[02:13.16] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[02:17.26] Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[02:20.73] Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it

[02:23.25] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart

[02:26.25] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:28.91] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[02:32.09] On the chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[02:34.64] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novara

[02:37.57] And that's when daddy went to california with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[02:41.02] And flew you and momma out to see me

[02:43.41] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:46.07] Then you started seeing daddy on the t.V. And momma didn't like it

[02:49.26] And you and Laney were to young to understand it

[02:51.91] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[02:54.47] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:57.66] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[03:00.21] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[03:03.13] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscing

[03:05.78] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[03:08.44] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[03:11.36] Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[03:14.82] Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[03:17.21] I like the sound of that, yeah

[03:18.88] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[03:20.48] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[03:22.33] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[03:25.25] Everything's gonna be alright

[03:27.11] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[03:30.30] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[03:32.71] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:36.69] We fear how we feel inside

[03:38.82] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:40.67] But I promise momma's gonna be alright

[03:44.13] And if you ask me too

[03:45.85] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[03:47.67] Ima give you the world

[03:49.79] Ima buy a diamond ring for you

[03:52.08] Ima sing for you

[03:53.41] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:55.80] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[03:59.25] Ima break that birdies neck

[04:01.65] I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[04:04.30] And make him eat every carat don't f with dad (ha)
