I know sometimes may not make sense to you right now But hey, What always tell you? Straighten up little Stiffen up that lip you crying about? You got me
Hailie I you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad 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 you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you to cry Cause scared, I ain't there? with you in your prayers No crying, wipe them tears here, no more nightmares We gon' pull through it, we gon' do it uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better it We're all we got in world When it spins, it swirls it whirls, when it twirls Two little girls puzzled, in a daze 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 that I try to do that, the more it on me All the growing up his daddy that 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 gotten so bad between us I don't see us being together ever again Like we used to be we were teenagers But then of course everything always for a reason I guess it was never to be But it's just something we have no control over and what destiny is But no more worries, rest your and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all be a dream
Now hush little baby, you cry Everything's be alright Stiffen that lip up little lady, I told ya here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not right now and we don't know why We fear how we feel It may a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise momma's be alright
It's I remember back one year daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas up And stuck 'em under the and said some of 'em were from me daddy couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole crying Cause daddy felt 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 shot up on the and your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryna a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars till someone in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart And it seemed like everything was just to fall apart Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved back to the other side of 8 on Novara And that's when daddy to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me you started 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 happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, 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 still here Laney I'm talkin' to you too, still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a to it don't it? Shh, only gone for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a I'mma you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you I'mma for you I'll do for you to see you smile And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler who it to ya And him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
