Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Just reminiscing lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out 'Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habitĪnd it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it Dre and flew you and momma out to see meīut daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave meĪnd momma didn't like it and you and Laney were to young to understand it On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartmentĪnd dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on NovaraĪnd that's when daddy went to California with his CDĪnd met Dr. Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to collegeĪlmost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole itĪnd I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heartĪnd it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a jobīut his job was to keep the food on the table for you and momĪnd at the time every house that we lived in either kept getting broke into and robbed I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up, and stuck 'em under the treeĪnd said some of 'em were from me, 'cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
It's funny, I remember back one year, when daddy had no money It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby, but I promise momma's gon' be alright I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why, we fear how we feel inside Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya through the night Now hush little baby, don't you cry, everything's gonna be alright Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and meīut things have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being togetherĮver again like we used to be when we was teenagersīut then of course everything always happens for a reasonīut it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny isīut no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on meĪll the things growing up his daddy, that he had to seeĭaddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusin' youĭaddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news When it whirls, when it twirls two little beautiful girls We're all we got in this world When it spins, when it swirls Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your prayers I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh When I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had Hailie, I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad Straighten up little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip. Yeah, I know sometimes things may not, always make sense to you right now.
