Mockingbird

Hailey I know you miss your mom

  • Hailey I know you miss your mom
  • And I know you miss your dad
  • Well I'm gone
  • 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
  • 'Cause 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 ain't he
  • Yeah
  • 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
  • Mama's always on the news
  • I try to keep you sheltered from it
  • But somehow it seems
  • The harder that I try to do with
  • The more it backfires on me
  • All the things growing up
  • That daddy 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
  • 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
  • Then of course everything always happens for a reason
  • I guess it was never meant to be
  • That's just something we have no control over
  • And that's what destiny is
  • No more worries rest your head and go to sleep
  • Maybe one day we'll wake up these
  • Will all just be a dream
  • Now hush little baby
  • Don't you cry
  • Everything's gonna be alright
  • Stiffen up that upper lip little lady
  • I told you
  • Daddy's here to hold you
  • Through the night
  • I know mommy's not here right now
  • And we don't know why
  • We fear 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
  • 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
  • I'll never forget that Christmas
  • I sat up the whole night crying
  • 'Cause daddy felt like a bum
  • See daddy had a job
  • Job to keep the food on the table for you and mom
  • At the time every house 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
  • To go to college
  • Almost had a thousand dollars 'til 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 one bedroom apartment
  • Dad moved back to the other side of
  • Eight Mile on Novara
  • And that's when daddy went to California
  • With his C D and met Doctor 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 momma didn't like it
  • You and Laney were to young to understand it
  • Papa was a rollin' stone
  • Momma developed a habit
  • Happened all too fast for either one of us to grab it
  • I'm just sorry you were there
  • Had to witness it first hand
  • 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
  • Now I'm sitting in this empty house just reminiscing
  • Lookin' at your baby pictures
  • It just trips me out to see how much
  • You both it's almost like you're sisters now
  • Guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
  • Laney I'm talkin' to you too
  • And Daddy's still here
  • I like the sound of that yeah
  • Though it got a ring to it
  • Shh momma's only gone for the moment
  • Now hush little baby don't you cry
  • Everything's gonna be alright
  • Stiffen up that upper lip little lady
  • I told you
  • Daddy's here to hold you
  • Through the night
  • I know mommy's not here right now
  • And we don't know why
  • We fear 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'll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya
  • And make him eat every carat don't **** with dad ha-ha
