I sometimes things may not Always make sense to you now But hey, What daddy always tell Straighten up soldier up that upper lip What you about? You got me
Hailie I you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life I never had I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even you laugh I can see it in eyes, deep inside you want to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in prayers No more crying, them tears Daddy's here, no nightmares We pull together through it, we gon' do it Laney crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it We're all we got in world When it spins, when it When it whirls, when it Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I it's confusing you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news I try to keep you from it but somehow it seems The harder that I try to do that, the more it on me All the things up his daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as as he did We did not plan it to be way, your mother and me But have gotten 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 for a reason I it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no over and that's what destiny is But no more worries, rest head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a

funny I remember back one year when daddy had no wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the 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 we lived in Either kept getting into and robbed Or up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna start a bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke 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 flat one apartment And dad back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when daddy went to with 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 daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, 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 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 just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost you're sisters now Wow, guess you much are and daddy's still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I the sound of that, yeah got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's only 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 sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
