[Eminem - intro]
yeah... I know sometimes...
things may not always make sense to you right now...
but hey, what did daddy always tell you?
straightn up lil' soldier... stiffen up that upper lip
Whatchu cryin' about? U got me...
[Eminem - verse 1]
Hailie I know you miss ya mom, and I know you miss ya dad,
When I'm gone but I'm trynna 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, cuz you're scared,
I aint there? Daddy's with you in your prayers,
no more crying, whipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares,
we gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it,
Leney uncle's crazy aint 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 whurls, when it twirls,
Two little beautiful girls,
looking puzzle's in the days, I know it's confusing you,
daddy's always on the move, mamma'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 is 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 ment to be,
but it's just something we have no control over,
and that's what destiny is,
but no more worries, rest ya head and go to sleep,
maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream.
[Eminem - 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 feel how we feel inside,
it may seem a lil' crazy, pretty baby,
but I promise, momma's gon' be alright.
[Eminem - verse 2]
Itz funny, I remember back when you and daddy had no money,
mommy wrapped the christmas presents up and stuck em under the tree,
and said some of 'em were from me, cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em,
I'll never forget that christmas, I sat up the whole night crying,
cuz daddy felt like the 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 gettin broken into and robbed or shot up at the block,
and ya mom, was saving money for you in a jar,
trynna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college,
almost had a 1000 dollars, 'till someone broke in and stole it,
and I know it hurts so bad it broke ya momma's heart,
and it just seems like everything was just startin' to fall apart,
mom and dad was arguing a lot,
so momma moved back on ???? in her flat, one bedroom-apartment,
and dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Nevara
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 Laney were to young to understand,
if poppa was a rolling stone, momma developed a habit,
and it all happened to fast for either one of us to grab it,
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand,
cuz 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've both have grown,
itz almost like you're sisters now, wow,
I guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here,
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here,
I like the sound of that cheer, it's got a ring to it don't it?
Ssssh, momma's only gone for the moment...
[Eminem - 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 feel how we feel inside,
it may seem a little crazy, pretty baby,
but I promise, momma's gon' be alright.
[Eminem - outro like chorus]
and if you ask me to, daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird,
I'm gon' 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 the mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine,
I'ma break that birdie's neck,
I go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya,
and make him eat every karat the fuck with that?
haha
