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..


Hailie, I know you miss your mom
And I know you miss your dad when im gone
But I'm tryin' to give you the life that i never had
I can see you sad
Even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside, you wanna cry
Cuz you scared i aint there
Daddy with you in yur prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy here no more nightmears
We gonna pull together through it, we gon do it
Laini, uncle crazy but he loves you girl and you better know it
What have 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
Daddys always on the move
Mamas 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
That 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 bein' 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 that 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 will all just be a dream...


[Chorus]
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
I told ya, daddy's her 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, Mama's gon' be alright...


Its funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck them under the tree and said some of them were from me
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
i'll never forget that Christmas, I sat the whole night cryin'
Cuz 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, 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 mama's heart
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguing a lot
So mama moved back on the chammas and the flat, one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra
And that 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 didn't 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
I'm just sorry you were there, and you had to witness it first hand
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out to see how much you both have grown
It's almost like your sisters now
Wow, I guess you pretty much are
And daddy's still here
Laini I'm talkin to ya to
Daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it?
Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment...


[Chorus]
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
Mama's gon' be alright...

And if you ask me to,
Daddy's gonna by you a mocking bird
I'ma gonna give you the world
i'ma by a diamond ring for you
I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird dont sing and the ring dont shine
I'ma break that birdies neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carrat dont fuck with dad
haha
