[00:02]Yeah
[00:04]I know sometimes things might not
[00:07]always make sense to you right now
[00:10]But hey, what daddy always tell you?
[00:14]Straighten up little soldier
[00:16]Stiffen up that upper lip
[00:19]What'chu crying about?
[00:21]You got me..
[00:00][ Verse 1 ]
[00:22]Hailie, I know you miss your mom
[00:23]And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
[00:25]But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:28]I can see you're sad
[00:29]Even when you smile
[00:30]Even when you laugh
[00:31]I can see it in your eyes
[00:32]Deep inside, you wanna cry
[00:34]Cuz you're scared
[00:34]I ain't there?
[00:35]Daddy's with you in your prayers
[00:36]No more crying
[00:37]Wipe them tears
[00:38]Daddy's here No more nightmares
[00:39]We gonna pull together through it
[00:41]We gon' do it
[00:42]Laini, uncle's crazy ain't he?
[00:43]Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
[00:45]We're all we got in this world
[00:46]When it spins
[00:47]When it swirls
[00:48]When it whirls
[00:49]When it twirls
[00:50]Two little beautiful girls
[00:51]Looking puzzled, in a daze
[00:53]I know it's confusing you
[00:54]Daddy's always on the move
[00:55]Mama's always on the news
[00:57]I try to keep you sheltered from it
[00:00]But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that
[00:00]the more it backfires on me
[00:00]All the things, growing up
[00:00]As daddy that he had to see
[00:00]Daddy don't want you to see
[00:00]But you see just as much as me (to see?)
[00:00]That we did not plan it to be this way
[00:00]You're mother and me
[00:00]But things have got so bad between us
[00:00]I don't see us ever being
[00:00]Together ever again
[00:00]Like we used to be when was teenagers
[00:00]But then of coarse
[00:00]Everything always happens for a reason
[00:00]I guess it was never meant to be
[00:00]But it's just something
[00:00]We have no control over
[00:00]And that's what destiny is
[00:00]But no more worries
[00:00]Rest your head and go to sleep
[00:00]Maybe one day we'll wake up
[00:00]And this will all just be a dream
[00:00][ Chorus ]
[00:00]Now hush little baby don't you cry
[00:00]Everythings gonna be alright
[00:00]Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
[00:00]I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya
[00:00]Through the night
[00:00]I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[00:00]We feel how we feel inside
[00:00]It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[00:00]But I promise, Mama's gonna be alright
[00:00][ Verse 2 ]
[00:00]It's funny
[00:00]I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[00:00]Mommy wrapped the Christamas presents up
[00:00]and stuck them under the tree
[00:00]and said some of them were from me
[00:00]Cos daddy couldn't buy 'em
[00:00]I'll never forget that Christmas
[00:00]I sat up the whole night cryin'
[00:00]Cuz daddy felt like a bum
[00:00]See dadday had a job
[00:00]But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
[00:00]And at the time every house that we lived in
[00:00]Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
[00:00]And your mom, was saving money
[00:00]For you in a jar trying to start a piggy bank for you
[00:00]So you can go to college
[00:00]Almost had a thousand dollars
[00:00]Till someone broke in and stole it
[00:00]And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart
[00:00]And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
[00:00]Mom and dads was arguing a lot
[00:00]So mama moved back on the _?____ and the flat
[00:00]One bedroom apartment
[00:00]And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra
[00:00]And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
[00:00]And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me
[00:00]But daddy had to work
[00:00]You and mama had to leave me
[00:00]Then you started seeing daddy on the TV
[00:00]And mama didn't like it
[00:00]And you and Laini were too young to understand it
[00:00]Papa was a rolling stone
[00:00]mama developed a habit
[00:00]and it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
[00:00]I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
[00:00]Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[00:00]Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
[00:00]Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out
[00:00]To see how much you both have grown
[00:00]It's almost like your sisters now
[00:00]Wow, I guess you pretty much are
[00:00]And daddy's still here
[00:00]Laini I'm talking to you too
[00:00]Daddy's still here
[00:00]I like the sound of that, yeah
[00:00]It's got a ring to it, don't it?
[00:00]Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment
[00:00][ Chorus ]
[00:00]Now hush little baby don't you cry
[00:00]Everythings gonna be alright
[00:00]Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
[00:00]I told ya daddy's here to hold ya
[00:00]Through the night
[00:00]I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[00:00]We feel how we feel inside
[00:00]It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
[00:00]But I promise
[00:00]Mama's gonna be alright
[00:00][ Outro]
[00:00]And if you ask me to,
[00:00]Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird
[00:00]I'ma give you the world
[00:00]I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
[00:00]I'ma sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smile
[00:00]And if the mockingbird don't sing and the ring don't shine
[00:00]I'ma break that birdy's neck
[00:00]I'll go back to the ***eler who sold it to ya
[00:00]And make him eat every karat
[00:00]Don't fuck wit dat.
[00:00]haha
