Mockingbird歌詞：

?

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 cryin" 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 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 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

Lainie 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

Momma"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 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"ll all just be a dream

Hook

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 fear how we feel inside

It may seem a little crazy pretty baby

But I promise Momma"s gon" be alright

Heh 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 cryin"

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

Tryin" 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 momma"s heart

And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart

Mom and Dad was arguing a lot

So Momma moved back on to 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 TV

And Momma didn"t like it

And you and Lainie were too young to understand it

Papa was a rolling 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 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 guess you pretty much are and daddy"s still here

Lainie 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 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 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 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 to 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 birdie"s neck

I"ll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

And make him eat every carat don"t f**k with Dad ha ha
