Mockingbird |
| Yeah I know sometimes things may not always |
| Make sense to you right now |
| But hey, what daddy always tell you? |
| Straighten up little soldier |
| Stiffen up that upper lip |
| What you crying about? |
| You got me |
| Hailie, I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad |
| Well I’m gone but I’m trying to give you the life that I never had |
| I can see you’re sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh |
| I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry |
| Cuz you’re scared, I ain’t there |
| Daddy’s with you in your prayers |
| No more crying, wipe them tears |
| Daddy’s here, no more nightmares |
| We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it |
| Laney, uncle’s crazy, aint he? |
| Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it |
| We’re all we got in this world |
| When it spins, when it swirls |
| When it whirls, when it twirls |
| Two little beautiful girls |
| Lookin' puzzled, in a daze |
| I know it’s confusing you |
| Daddy’s always on the move, mamma’s always on the news |
| I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems |
| The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me |
| All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see |
| Daddy don’t want you to see but you see just as much as he did |
| We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me |
| But things have gotten so bad between us |
| I don’t see us ever being together ever again |
| Like we used to be when we was teenagers |
| But then of course everything always happens for a reason |
| I guess it was never meant to be |
| But it’s just something we have no control over and that’s what destiny is |
| But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep |
| Maybe one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dream |
| Now hush little baby, don’t you cry |
| Everything’s gonna be alright |
| Stiffen that upper lip up little lady |
| I told ya Daddy’s here to hold ya through the night |
| I know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know why |
| We feel how we feel inside |
| It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| But I promise momma’s gon' be alright |
| It’s funny |
| I remember back one year when daddy had no money |
| Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up |
| And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me |
| Cuz daddy couldn’t buy 'em |
| I’ll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying |
| Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job |
| But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom |
| And at the time every house that we lived in |
| Either kept getting broken into and robbed |
| Or shot up on the block |
| And your mom was saving money for you in a jar |
| Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college |
| Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it |
| And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma’s heart |
| And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart |
| Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back |
| On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment |
| And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara |
| And that’s when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre |
| And flew you and momma out to see me |
| But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me |
| Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn’t like it |
| And you and Laney were to young to understand it |
| Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit |
| And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it |
| I’m just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand |
| Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud |
| Now I’m sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing |
| Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out |
| To see how much you both have grown, it’s almost like you’re sisters now |
| Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy’s still here |
| Laney I’m talkin' to you too, daddy’s still here |
| I like the sound of that, yeah |
| It’s got a ring to it don’t it? |
| Shh, momma’s only gone for the moment |
| Now hush little baby, don’t you cry |
| Everything’s gonna be alright |
| Stiffen that upper lip up little lady |
| I told ya Daddy’s here to hold ya through the night |
| I know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know why |
| We feel how we feel inside |
| It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby |
| But I promise momma’s gon' be alright |
| And if you ask me too |
| Daddy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird |
| I’mma give you the world |
| I’mma buy a diamond ring for you |
| I’mma sing for you |
| I’ll do anything for you to see you smile |
| And if that mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shine |
| I’mma break that birdie’s neck |
| I’d go back to the jewler who sold it to ya |
| And make him eat every carat don’t f*ck with dad (haha) |
