I sometimes things may not make sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up little Stiffen up upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the that I never had I can see you're sad, when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, wipe tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we do it Laney uncles crazy, he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful 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 things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not plan it to be this way, your and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we to be when we were teenagers But of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and what destiny is But no worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that upper lip up lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know not here right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may seem a crazy, pretty baby But I promise gon' be alright
funny I remember one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were me Cause daddy buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see had a job But his job was to keep the on the table for you and mom And at the time every house that we in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed like was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma 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 you and momma out to see me But daddy had to work, you and momma had to me Then you started daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I ever to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your pictures, it just trips me out To see how much you both grown, it's almost like you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
