Mockingbird - Tough Rhymes
Written by：L. Resto/M. Mathers
Yeah
I know sometimes
Things may not
Always make sense to you right now
But hey
What'd daddy always tell you
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about
You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom
And I know you miss your dad
Well 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
'Cause 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
Laney 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
Lookin' puzzled in a daze
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 his 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 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
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told yea
Daddy's here to hold yea 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 momma'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 broke into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom
Was saving money
For you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you
So you could 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 momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall
Apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot
So momma moved back
On the chalmers in the 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 momma out to see me
But daddy had to work
You and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the t v
And momma didn't like it
And you and laney were too young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone momma 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
Lookin' 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
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 yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it
Shh momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told yea
Daddy's here to hold yea 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 momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'ma 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 that mockingbird don't sing
And that ring don't shine
I'ma break that bird's neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold to
Yeah
And make him eat every carat
Don't f**k with dad
Haha
