Eminem - Mockingbird [Official Music Video]

[00:01.35] "Mockingbird"

[00:09.92] Yeah

[00:11.78] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:16.31] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:20.03] Straighten up little soldier

[00:22.68] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:24.81] What you crying about?

[00:27.46] You got me.

[00:29.33] Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad

[00:31.98] When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:34.90] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:38.10] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:41.02] 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:42.35] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:43.95] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:45.28] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:46.87] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:48.99] Lainie Uncle's crazy, ain't he?

[00:51.39] Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:52.71] We're all we got in this world

[00:53.77] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:54.57] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:55.37] Two little beautiful girls

[00:58.02] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:59.62] I know it's confusing you

[01:00.95] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[01:03.87] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[01:06.26] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[01:09.18] All the things growing up as daddy, that he had to see

[01:11.84] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[01:15.02] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[01:17.68] But things have got so bad between us

[01:19.27] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[01:20.34] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[01:23.26] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:26.71] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:28.57] But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

[01:30.43] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:34.42] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[01:37.34] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:40.26] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:42.65] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

[01:45.57] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:48.23] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:51.42] We feel how we feel inside

[01:53.81] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:56.46] But I promise mama's gon' be alright.

[01:59.12] (Ha)

[01:59.91] It's funny

[02:00.71] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[02:03.10] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

[02:04.70] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[02:06.02] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[02:08.68] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[02:11.60] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[02:13.20] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[02:17.18] And at the time every house that we lived in

[02:19.57] Either kept getting broken into and robbed

[02:20.90] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[02:25.68] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[02:28.62] Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it

[02:31.54] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mamma's heart

[02:34.20] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:36.85] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[02:40.31] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[02:42.97] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[02:45.62] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[02:49.60] And flew you and momma out to see me

[02:51.20] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:54.12] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it

[02:57.04] And you and Lainnie were too young to understand it

[03:00.23] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[03:02.88] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[03:05.81] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[03:08.73] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[03:11.12] Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing

[03:14.31] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[03:16.70] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[03:19.62] Wow, I guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[03:23.08] Lainnie I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[03:25.99] I like the sound of that, yeah

[03:27.32] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[03:28.91] Shh, mama's only gone for the moment.

[03:31.04] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[03:33.70] Everything's gonna be alright

[03:36.09] Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

[03:39.01] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[03:41.67] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:45.12] We feel how we feel inside

[03:47.24] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:49.90] But I promise mama's gon' be alright.

[03:52.82] And if you ask me to

[03:54.42] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[03:56.54] I'mma give you the world

[03:58.67] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

[04:00.79] I'mma sing for you

[04:01.59] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[04:04.24] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[04:07.96] I'mma break that birdie's neck

[04:09.82] I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[04:12.74] And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha).
