Yeah I know sometimes things might 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'chu crying about You got me..
Verse 1 Hailie, I know you miss your mom And I know you miss your dad when IТm gone But IТm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see youТre sad Even when you smile Even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes Deep inside, you wanna cry Cuz youТre scared I ainТt there DaddyТs with you in your prayers No more crying Wipe them tears DaddyТs here No more nightmares We gonna pull together through it We gonТ do it Laini, uncleТs crazy ainТt he Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it WeТre all we got in this world When it spins When it swirls When it whirls When it twirls Two little beautiful girls Looking puzzled, in a daze I know itТs confusing you DaddyТs always on the move MamaТs 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 As daddy that he had to see Daddy donТt want you to see But you see just as much as me (to see) That we did not plan it to be this way YouТre mother and me But things have got so bad between us I donТt see us ever being Together ever again Like we used to be when was teenagers But then of coarse Everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But itТs just something We have no control over And thatТs what destiny is But no more worries Rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day weТll wake up And this will all just be a dream
Chorus
Now hush little baby donТt you cry Everythings gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya, daddyТs here to hold ya Through the night I know mommyТs not here right now and we donТt know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby But I promise, MamaТs gonna be alright
Verse 2
ItТs funny I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christamas presents up and stuck them under the tree and said some of them were from me Cos daddy couldnТt buy Сem IТll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night cryinТ Cuz daddy felt like a bum See dadday 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 trying to start a piggy bank for you So you can 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 mamaТs heart And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart Mom and dads was arguing a lot So mama moved back on the _____ and the flat One bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra And thatТs when daddy went to California with his CD And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me But daddy had to work You and mama had to leave me Then you started seeing daddy on the TV And mama didnТt like it And you and Laini were too young to understand it Papa was a rolling stone mama developed a habit and it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it IТm 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 IТm sittinТ in this empty house, just reminiscinТ Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown ItТs almost like your sisters now Wow, I guess you pretty much are And daddyТs still here Laini IТm talking to you too DaddyТs still here I like the sound of that, yeah ItТs got a ring to it, donТt it Shhh, mamaТs only gone for the moment
Chorus Now hush little baby donТt you cry Everythings gonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya daddyТs here to hold ya Through the night I know mommyТs not here right now and we donТt know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy pretty baby But I promise MamaТs gonna be alright
Outro
And if you ask me to, DaddyТs gonna buy you a mocking bird IТma give you the world IТma buy a diamond ring for you IТma sing for you, IТll do anything for you to see you smile And if the mockingbird donТt sing and the ring donТt shine IТma break that birdyТs neck IТll go back to the eler who sold it to ya And make him eat every karat DonТt fuck wit dat. haha
