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
