    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 uncles 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 upperlip 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 broke 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 TV 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 upperlip 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 birdies neck

    I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya

    And make him eat every carat don't **** with dad (haha)
