EMINEM - Mockingbird Lyrics lyrics
rate me[ Intro ]
Yeah
I know sometimes things might not always make sense 2 u right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What'chu crying about?
u got me..
[ Verse 1 ]
Hailie, I know u miss ur mom
And I know u miss ur dad when I'm gone
But I'm trying 2 give u the life that I never had
I can see ur sad
Even when u smile
Even when u laugh
I can see it in ur eyes
Deep inside, u wanna cry
Cuz ur 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 u sheltered from it
But somehow it seems, the harder that I try 2 do that
the more it backfires on me
All the things, growing up
As daddy that he had 2 see
Daddy don't want u 2 see
But u see just as much as he did (to see?)
We did not plan it to be this way
ur mother and me
But things have got so bad between us
I don't see us ever being
Together ever again
Like we used 2 be when we was teenagers
But then of course
Everything always happens 4 a reason
I guess it was never meant 2 be
But it's just something
We have no control over
And that's what destiny is
But no more worries
Rest ur 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 u cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
I told ya, daddy's here 2 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, Mama's gonna be alright
[ Verse 2 ]
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 2 start a piggy bank 4 u
So u can go 2 college
Almost had a thousand dollars
Till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke ur 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 Chalmers and the flat
One bedroom apartment
And dad moved back 2 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 u and Mama out 2 see me
But daddy had to work
u and mama had to leave me
Then u started seeing daddy on the TV
And mama didn't like it
And you and Laini were 2 young 2 understand it
Papa was a rolling stone
mama developed a habit
and it all happened 2 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 2 do was just make u proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
Looking at ur baby pictures it just trips me out
2 see how much u both have grown
It's almost like ur sisters now
Wow, I guess u pretty much are
And daddy's still here
Laini I'm talking to u 2
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 u 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 but we don't know y
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
But I promise
Mama's gonna be alright
[ Outro]
And if you ask me to,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird
I'ma give u the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
I'ma sing for you, I'll do anything 4 u to see u 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 Jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat
Don't mess with dad.
haha
