[00:00.00] 00:02.39]Yeah

[00:04.46] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:09.98] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:13.67] Straighten up little soldier

[00:15.82] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:18.32] What you crying about?

[00:20.57] You got me

[00:22.06] Hailie, I know you miss your mom

[00:23.84] And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone

[00:25.76] But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:27.81] I can see you're sad

[00:29.16] Even when you smile

[00:30.28] Even when you laugh

[00:31.26] I can see it in your eyes

[00:32.65] Deep inside, you wanna cry

[00:33.93] Cuz you're scared

[00:34.84] I ain't there?

[00:35.40] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:36.68] No more crying

[00:37.54] Wipe them tears

[00:38.09] Daddy's here

[00:38.83] No more nightmares

[00:39.58] We gonna pull together through it

[00:40.81] We gon' do it

[00:41.86] Laney, uncle's crazy ain't he?

[00:43.25] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:45.16] We're all we got in this world

[00:46.72] When it spins

[00:47.35] When it swirls

[00:48.03] When it whirls

[00:48.72] When it twirls

[00:49.44] Two little beautiful girls

[00:50.90] Looking puzzled, in a daze

[00:52.30] I know it's confusing you

[00:53.71] Daddy's always on the move

[00:55.12] Mama's always on the news

[00:56.53] I try to keep you sheltered from it

[00:58.29] But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that

[01:00.48] The more it backfires on me

[01:02.07] All the things, growing up

[01:03.45] As daddy that he had to see

[01:04.70] Daddy don't want you to see

[01:06.44] But you see just as much as he did

[01:07.54] That we did not plan it to be this way

[01:09.26] You're mother and me

[01:10.49] But things have got so bad between us

[01:11.98] I don't see us ever being

[01:13.20] Together ever again

[01:14.69] Like we used to be when was teenagers

[01:16.56] But then of course

[01:17.64] Everything always happens for a reason

[01:19.60] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:21.29] But it's just something

[01:22.13] We have no control over

[01:23.30] And that's what destiny is

[01:25.06] But no more worries

[01:26.39] Rest your head and go to sleep

[01:27.47] Maybe one day we'll wake up

[01:28.89] And this will all just be a dream

[01:30.34] Now hush little baby don't you cry

[01:32.90] Everythings gonna be alright

[01:35.11] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady

[01:37.49] I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya

[01:39.81] Through the night

[01:40.92] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:44.40] We feel how we feel inside

[01:46.53] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:49.35] But I promise, Mama's gonna be alright

[01:52.20] It's funny

[01:53.32] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:55.92] Mommy wrapped the Christamas presents up

[01:57.85] And stuck them under the tree

[01:58.72] And said some of them were from me

[02:00.36] Cos daddy couldn't buy 'em

[02:01.60] I'll never forget that Christmas

[02:03.09] I sat up the whole night cryin'

[02:04.45] Cuz daddy felt like a bum

[02:05.98] See daddy had a job

[02:07.19] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[02:09.55] And at the time every house that we lived in

[02:12.64] Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block

[02:15.64] And your mom, was saving money

[02:17.54] For you in a jar trying to start a piggy bank for you

[02:20.15] So you can go to college

[02:21.38] Almost had a thousand dollars

[02:23.04] Till someone broke in and stole it

[02:24.71] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart

[02:27.37] And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart

[02:30.02] Mom and dads was arguing a lot

[02:32.42] So mama moved back on the Chalmers (?) in the flat

[02:34.64] One bedroom apartment

[02:35.86] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra

[02:38.67] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD

[02:41.29] And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me

[02:44.08] But daddy had to work

[02:45.52] You and mama had to leave me

[02:46.92] Then you started seeing daddy on the TV

[02:49.28] And mama didn't like it

[02:50.78] And you and Laney were too young to understand it

[02:53.00] Papa was a rolling stone

[02:54.40] Mama developed a habit

[02:55.86] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:58.53] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[03:01.56] Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[03:04.12] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'

[03:06.65] Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out

[03:10.25] To see how much you both have grown

[03:11.48] It's almost like your sisters now

[03:12.87] Wow, I guess you pretty much are

[03:15.06] And daddy's still here

[03:16.07] Laney I'm talking to you too

[03:17.66] Daddy's still here

[03:18.92] I like the sound of that, yeah

[03:20.41] It's got a ring to it, don't it?

[03:21.75] Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment

[03:23.74] Now hush little baby don't you cry

[03:26.48] Everythings gonna be alright

[03:28.75] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady

[03:31.09] I told ya daddy's here to hold ya

[03:33.32] Through the night

[03:34.58] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:38.03] We feel how we feel inside

[03:40.08] It may seem a little crazy pretty baby

[03:42.85] But I promise

[03:44.03] Mama's gonna be alright

[03:45.77] And if you ask me to

[03:46.97] Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird

[03:49.55] I'ma give you the world

[03:51.46] I'ma buy a diamond ring for you

[03:53.46] I'ma sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:57.15] And if the mockingbird don't sing and the ring don't shine

[04:00.56] I'ma break that birdy's neck
