Eminem - Mockingbird

[00:02.35] Yeah

[00:04.53] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:09.30] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:11.96] Straighten up little soldier

[00:14.61] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:18.07] What you crying about?

[00:18.87] You got me

[00:19.93] Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad

[00:21.79] When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:23.91] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:26.84] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:29.22] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:31.35] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:31.88] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:33.22] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:33.49] We gonna pull together through it, we gonna do it

[00:36.42] Laney uncles crazy, ain't he?

[00:37.47] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:38.80] We're all we got in this world

[00:39.60] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:40.39] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:41.19] Two little beautiful girls

[00:43.05] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:44.12] I know it's confusing you

[00:45.71] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[00:47.83] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[00:49.70] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[00:52.09] All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see

[00:54.76] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[00:57.15] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[00:59.54] But things have gotten so bad between us

[01:00.87] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[01:02.46] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:05.91] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:07.78] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:09.37] But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

[01:10.43] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:13.61] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[01:16.00] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:18.13] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:19.72] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[01:22.38] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:24.50] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:27.69] We fear how we feel inside

[01:29.29] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:31.69] But I promise momma's gonna be alright

[01:34.61] It's funny

[01:35.41] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:37.00] Mommy wrapped the christmas presents up

[01:38.63] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[01:40.49] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[01:42.35] I'll never forget that christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[01:44.47] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[01:46.33] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[01:48.99] And at the time every house that we lived in

[01:50.32] Either kept getting broke into and robbed

[01:52.97] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[01:56.16] Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[01:58.55] Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it

[02:00.14] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart

[02:03.07] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:05.47] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[02:08.41] On the chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[02:10.80] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novara

[02:12.93] And that's when daddy went to california with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[02:16.12] And flew you and momma out to see me

[02:17.45] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:19.84] Then you started seeing daddy on the t.V. And momma didn't like it

[02:22.77] And you and Laney were to young to understand it

[02:25.14] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[02:27.01] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:29.42] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[02:32.07] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[02:34.19] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscing

[02:36.58] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[02:38.44] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[02:40.58] Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[02:44.05] Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[02:46.18] I like the sound of that, yeah

[02:47.81] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[02:49.39] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[02:50.46] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[02:52.85] Everything's gonna be alright

[02:54.44] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[02:56.83] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[02:58.97] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:02.18] We fear how we feel inside

[03:03.77] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:06.16] But I promise momma's gonna be alright

[03:08.55] And if you ask me too

[03:10.15] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[03:11.47] Ima give you the world

[03:13.33] Ima buy a diamond ring for you

[03:15.20] Ima sing for you

[03:16.52] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:19.71] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[03:22.63] Ima break that birdies neck

[03:22.89] I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[03:25.29] And make him eat every carat don't f with dad (ha)
