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
