Yeah but he loves you and you better know it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it it whirls, when it twirls Two beautiful girls puzzled, in a daze I know it's you Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it The that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his daddy 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, mother and me But things have so bad between us I don't see us ever being together again Like we used to be when we teenagers But then of course everything always happens for a I guess it was never to be But just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is But no worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all 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 some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Cause daddy 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 time every house that we in Either kept getting broken and robbed 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 Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and it And I it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved On the Chalmers in the flat one apartment And dad moved back to the other of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy to California with 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 seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma like it And you and were to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all happened too fast for either one of us to it I'm just sorry you were there and had to it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your baby pictures, it 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 still I like the of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma give you the I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don't sing and ring don't shine break that birdies neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
