[00:05.15] Yeah
[00:00.00] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
[00:00.00] But hey, what daddy always tell you?
[00:00.00] Straighten up little soldier
[00:00.00] Stiffen up that upper lip
[00:00.00] What you crying about?
[00:00.00] You got me.
[00:00.00] Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
[00:00.00] When I’m gone but I’m trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:00.00] I can see you’re sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
[00:00.00] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
[00:00.00] ‘Cause you’re scared, I ain’t there?
[00:00.00] Daddy’s with you in your prayers
[00:00.00] No more crying, wipe them tears
[00:00.00] Daddy’s here, no more nightmares
[00:00.00] We gon’ pull together through it, we gon’ do it
[00:00.00] Lainie Uncle’s crazy, ain’t he?
[00:00.00] Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
[00:00.00] We’re all we got in this world
[00:00.00] When it spins, when it swirls
[00:00.00] When it whirls, when it twirls
[00:00.00] Two little beautiful girls
[00:00.00] Lookin’ puzzled, in a daze
[00:00.00] I know it’s confusing you
[00:00.00] Daddy’s always on the move, mamma’s always on the news
[00:00.00] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
[00:00.00] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
[00:00.00] All the things growing up as daddy, that he had to see
[00:00.00] Daddy don’t want you to see but you see just as much as he did
[00:00.00] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
[00:00.00] But things have got so bad between us
[00:00.00] I don’t see us ever being together ever again
[00:00.00] Like we used to be when we was teenagers
[00:00.00] But then of course everything always happens for a reason
[00:00.00] I guess it was never meant to be
[00:00.00] But it’s just something we have no control over and that’s what destiny is
[00:00.00] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
[00:00.00] Maybe one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dream
[00:00.00] Now hush little baby, don’t you cry
[00:00.00] Everything’s gonna be alright
[00:00.00] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
[00:00.00] Daddy’s here to hold ya through the night
[00:00.00] I know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know why
[00:00.00] We fear how we feel inside
[00:00.00] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[00:00.00] But I promise mama’s gon’ be alright
[00:00.00] (Ha)
[00:00.00] It’s funny
[00:00.00] I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[00:00.00] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
[00:00.00] And stuck ’em under the tree and said some of ’em were from me
[00:00.00] ‘Cause daddy couldn’t buy ’em
[00:00.00] I’ll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
[00:00.00] ‘Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
[00:00.00] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
[00:00.00] And at the time every house that we lived in
[00:00.00] Either kept getting broken into and robbed
[00:00.00] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
[00:00.00] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
[00:00.00] Almost had a thousand dollars ’til someone broke in and stole it
[00:00.00] And I know it hurts so bad it broke your mamma’s heart
[00:00.00] And it seemed like everything was just startin’ to fall apart
[00:00.00] Mom and dad was arguin’ a lot so momma moved back
[00:00.00] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
[00:00.00] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
[00:00.00] And that’s when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
[00:00.00] And flew you and momma out to see me
[00:00.00] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
[00:00.00] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn’t like it
[00:00.00] And you and Lainnie were too young to understand it
[00:00.00] Papa was a rollin’ stone, momma developed a habit
[00:00.00] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
[00:00.00] I’m just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
[00:00.00] ‘Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[00:00.00] Now I’m sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
[00:00.00] Lookin’ at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
[00:00.00] To see how much you both have grown, it’s almost like you’re sisters now
[00:00.00] Wow, I guess you pretty much are and daddy’s still here
[00:00.00] Lainnie I’m talkin’ to you too, daddy’s still here
[00:00.00] I like the sound of that, yeah
[00:00.00] It’s got a ring to it don’t it?
[00:00.00] Shh, mama’s only gone for the moment
[00:00.00] Now hush little baby, don’t you cry
[00:00.00] Everything’s gonna be alright
[00:00.00] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
[00:00.00] Daddy’s here to hold ya through the night
[00:00.00] I know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know why
[00:00.00] We fear how we feel inside
[00:00.00] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[00:00.00] But I promise mama’s gon’ be alright
[00:00.00] And if you ask me to
[00:00.00] Daddy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
[00:00.00] I’mma give you the world
[00:00.00] I’mma buy a diamond ring for you
[00:00.00] I’mma sing for you
[00:00.00] I’ll do anything for you to see you smile
[00:00.00] And if that mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shine
[00:00.00] I’mma break that birdie’s neck
[00:00.00] I’ll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
[00:00.00] And make him eat every carat don’t fuck with dad (ha ha)
