I know things may not Always make to you right now But hey, What daddy always tell up little soldier Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you 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, when you laugh 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, 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 know it We're all we got in world When it spins, it swirls When it whirls, it twirls Two little beautiful Lookin' puzzled, in a I know it's you Daddy's on the move, mama's always on the news I try to you sheltered from it but somehow it seems The harder I try to do that, the more it backfires on me All the things growing up his that he had to see don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did We did not it to be this way, your mother and me But things gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of course always happens for a reason I guess it was meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's 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

funny I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And stuck 'em under the tree and said of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that 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 time every that we lived in Either getting broken into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was money for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you go to college Almost had a thousand till someone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was startin' to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And that's when went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And you and momma 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 Laney to young to understand it Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a And it all too fast for either one of us to grab it I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first Cause all I wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm in this 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 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, got a ring to it don't it? Shh, momma's gone for the moment
