I know sometimes may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up little up that upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to you the life that I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you I can see it in your eyes, inside you want to cry Cause you're scared, I ain't with you in your prayers No more crying, wipe them Daddy's here, no nightmares We gon' together through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you and you better know it all we got in this world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know confusing you always on the move, mama's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see don't want you to see but you see just 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 we used to be when we were teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush baby, don't you cry gonna be alright Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya Daddy's here to ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty But I promise gon' be alright
funny I back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em the tree and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause felt like a bum, see daddy had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the every house that we lived in Either kept getting broken into and Or shot up on the block and mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's And it seemed everything was just startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the one bedroom apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma a habit And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sitting in empty house, just reminiscing Lookin' at your baby pictures, it trips me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I like the sound of that, It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's only gone for the
