Eminem---Mocking Bird

[00:02.52] Yeah

[00:04.26] I know sometimes things may not

[00:06.99] Always make sense to you right now

[00:09.00] But hey

[00:11.24] Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad

[00:12.49] Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:16.49] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:19.49] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:22.24] Cause you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:23.72] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:24.99] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:26.74] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:27.99] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:29.23] Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he?

[00:31.74] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:33.24] We're all we got in this world

[00:34.49] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:35.74] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:36.99] Two little beautiful girls

[00:38.23] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:39.24] I know it's confusing you

[00:40.74] Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news

[00:42.49] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[00:46.24] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[00:47.73] All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see

[00:51.50] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[00:54.26] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[00:56.00] But things have gotten so bad between us

[00:59.01] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[01:00.98] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[01:02.26] Like we used to be when we were teenagers

[01:03.51] I guess it was never meant to be

[01:05.24] But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

[01:09.72] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[01:12.73] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[01:15.74] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[01:17.99] Everything's gonna be alright

[01:19.74] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[01:22.99] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[01:25.49] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[01:28.73] We fear how we feel inside

[01:30.74] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[01:33.23] But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[01:36.24] It's funny

[01:37.23] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[01:38.49] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

[01:41.49] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[01:42.74] Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[01:45.24] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[01:47.74] Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[01:49.98] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[01:53.23] And at the time every house that we lived in

[01:57.24] Either kept getting broken into and robbed

[02:00.74] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[02:01.99] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[02:03.76] Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it

[02:06.74] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart

[02:08.99] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[02:10.98] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[02:14.47] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[02:17.24] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[02:19.73] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[02:23.99] And flew you and momma out to see me

[02:25.24] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[02:27.99] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it

[02:30.99] And you and Laney were to young to understand it

[02:33.46] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[02:35.73] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[02:39.00] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[02:41.23] Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[02:43.74] Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing

[02:46.74] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[02:48.99] To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now

[02:51.99] Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[02:55.76] Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[02:57.48] I like the sound of that, yeah

[02:58.99] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[03:00.51] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[03:02.49] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[03:05.25] Everything's gonna be alright

[03:06.74] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya

[03:09.99] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[03:12.49] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[03:15.49] We fear how we feel inside

[03:17.49] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[03:20.24] But I promise momma's gon' be alright

[03:23.24] And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[03:25.99] I'mma give you the world

[03:30.24] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

[03:31.49] I'mma sing for you

[03:33.99] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[03:34.99] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[03:37.23] I'mma break that birdies neck

[03:39.23] I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[03:42.74] And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
