[00:02.12] Yeah

[00:04.13] I know sometimes things may not

[00:06.63] Always make sense to you right now

[00:09.39] But hey

[00:10.89] What daddy always tell you?

[00:13.40] Straighten up little soldier

[00:15.65] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:17.91] What you crying about?

[00:20.16] You got me

[00:21.42] Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad

[00:24.68] Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:27.44] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:30.69] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:33.45] Cause you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:35.21] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:36.46] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:37.95] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:39.22] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:41.47] Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he?

[00:42.72] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:45.23] We're all we got in this world

[00:46.48] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:47.98] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:49.24] Two little beautiful girls

[00:50.74] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:51.99] I know it's confusing you

[00:53.50] Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news

[00:56.26] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[00:59.01] 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

[01:04.52] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[01:07.28] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[01:10.05] But things have gotten so bad between us

[01:12.05] I don't see us ever being together ever again

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

[01:16.31] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:19.06] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:21.07] But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

[01:24.33] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:27.08] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[01:29.84] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:32.84] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:34.86] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[01:37.86] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:40.61] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:44.13] We fear how we feel inside

[01:46.13] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:48.89] But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[01:51.89] It's funny

[01:53.15] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:55.41] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

[01:57.16] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[01:59.91] Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[02:01.17] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[02:03.92] Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[02:06.93] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[02:09.69] And at the time every house that we lived in

[02:11.94] Either kept getting broken into and robbed

[02:14.20] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[02:18.21] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[02:20.97] Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it

[02:23.98] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart

[02:26.73] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:29.49] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[02:32.49] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[02:35.25] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[02:38.01] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[02:42.02] And flew you and momma out to see me

[02:43.77] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:46.54] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it

[02:50.30] And you and Laney were to young to understand it

[02:52.29] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[02:55.30] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:58.31] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[03:01.07] Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[03:03.83] Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing

[03:05.83] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[03:09.09] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[03:12.35] Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[03:15.60] Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[03:18.36] I like the sound of that, yeah

[03:19.86] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[03:21.37] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[03:23.37] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[03:26.14] Everything's gonna be alright

[03:28.38] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[03:31.40] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[03:34.15] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:37.65] We fear how we feel inside

[03:39.67] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:42.41] But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[03:45.17] And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[03:49.19] I'mma give you the world

[03:50.94] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

[03:52.95] I'mma sing for you

[03:54.20] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:56.70] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[04:00.46] I'mma break that birdies neck

[04:02.22] I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[04:05.22] And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
