| Letra | yeah,i know sometimes
things may not always make sence to you right now, but hey, what daddy always tell you ?
straighten up little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip.
What you cryin' about? you got me.
Haylie i know you miss you mom, and i know you miss you 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 whit you prayers
no more cryin' wipe them tears daddy's here no more nightmares.
we gonna pull together through it we gonna do it
Lainie uncle's crazy ain't he yeah
but he loves you girl and yo 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.
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 that the more it backfires on me.
all the things growin' up as daddy, that he had to see
daddy don't want you to see but you 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 like when was teenagers
but then of course everything always happen 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 will all just be a dream.
(Coro:)
Now hush little baby don't you cry
everything's gonna be all right
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 feel how we feel inside, it may seem a little crazy
pretty baby but i promise, mama'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 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 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 mamma'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 to chalmers in a 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 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 Lainnie were too young to understand it
that 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 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, i guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
Lainnie 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, mama's only gone for the moment. (coro) Now hush little baby don't you cry
everything's gonna be all right
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 feel 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 buy you a mocking bird
ima' give you the world, ima' buy a diamond ring for you, ima sing for you
i'll do anything for you to see you smile.
And if that mocking bird 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 fuck with dad. |
