Mockingbird(Clean)
Yeah I know sometimes
- Yeah I know sometimes
- Things may not always make sense to you right now
- But hey what'd daddy always tell you
- Straighten up little soldier
- Stiffen up that upper lip
- What you cryin' about you got me
- Hailie I know you miss your mom
- And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
- But I'm tryin' 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 wanna 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
- Lainie Uncle's crazy ain't 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
- Looking puzzled in a daze I know it's confusing you
- Daddy's always on the move
- Momma'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 as 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 got 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'll all just be a dream
- Now hush little baby don't you cry
- Everything's gonna be alright
- Stiffen that upper lip 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 fear how we feel inside
- It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
- But I promise momma's gon' be alright
- Heh 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 cryin'
- Cause 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 broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
- And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
- Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could 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 starting to fall apart
- Mom and dad was arguing a lot
- So momma moved back on to 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 Lainie were too young to understand it
- Papa was a rolling 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
- Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
- Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
- Just reminiscing looking 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
- Lainie I'm talking to you too daddy's still here
- I like the sound of that yeah it's got a ring to it don't it
- Sssshhh momma's only gone for the moment
- Now hush little baby don't you cry
- Everything's gonna be alright
- Stiffen that upper lip 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 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 to daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
- I'ma give you the world
- I'ma buy a diamond ring for you I'ma 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'ma break that birdie's neck
- I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
- And make him eat every carat don't f**k with dad ha ha
