☆ Mockingbird

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 I’m gone But 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 wanna cry
Cuz 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
Laini uncle’s crazy ain’t 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 whirls When it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Looking 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
growing up As daddy
that he had to see
Daddy don’t want you to see
But you see just as
much see That we did
not plan it to be this way
Your mother and me But things
got so bad between us I don’t
see us ever being Together
ever again Like we used to be
when was teenagers
But then of coarse Everything
always happens 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
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
Now hush little baby
don’t you cry
Everythings 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
Mama’s gonna be alright
It’s funny
I remember back one year
when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christamas
presents up and stuck them
under the tree and
said some of them were from me
Cos daddy couldn’t buy ’em
I’ll never forget that
Christmas I sat up 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 dads was arguing a lot
So mama moved back on the
flew and the flat
One bedroom apartment And
dad moved back to the other
side of 8 mile on Novarra
And that’s when daddy went to
California with his CD
And meet 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
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 guess you pretty much are
And daddy’s still here
Laini I’m talking to you too
Daddy’s still here
I like the sound of that
It’s got a ring to it
don’t it
Shhh mama’s only
gone for the moment
Now hush little baby
don’t you cry
Everythings 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
Mama’s gonna be alright
And if you ask me to
Daddy’s gonna buy you a
mocking bird
I’m a give you the world
I’m a buy a diamond
ring for you
I’m a sing for you
I’ll do anything
for you to see you smile
And if the mockingbird don’t
sing and the ring don’t shine
I’m a break that birdy’s neck
I’ll go back to the jeweler
who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat
Don’t fuck wit dat haha
