Mockingbird Lyrics

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
gonna 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 as me (to see?)
That we did not plan it to
be this way
You’re 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 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 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


[Chorus]
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 dadday 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 _?____ 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 met 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 and 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, I 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, yeah
It’s got a ring to it, don’t
it?
Shhh, mama’s only gone for the moment


[Chorus]
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’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 the mockingbird don’t sing and
the ring don’t shine
I’ma break that birdy’s neck
I’ll go back to
the ***eler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat
Don’t fuck
wit dat.
haha
