Daddy's with you in your No more crying, them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you know it We're all we got in world it spins, when it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two beautiful girls Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, always on the news I try to keep you sheltered it but somehow it seems The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the growing up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see as much as he did We did not plan it to be way, your mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever together ever again Like we used to be when we were But then of everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control over and what destiny is But no more worries, rest your head and go to Maybe one day wake up and this will all just be a dream

funny I remember back one year daddy had no money wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me Cause couldn't buy 'em never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to the food on the table for you and mom And at the every house that we lived in Either kept getting broken and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was a lot so momma moved back On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to California his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But daddy had to work, you and had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and Laney were to young to it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever wanted to do was just you proud Now I'm sitting in this house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
