Mockingbird - Enisa.mp3

[00:22.364]Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
[00:25.277]Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:28.251]I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
[00:31.248]I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
[00:34.015]Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
[00:35.824]Daddy's with you in your prayers
[00:37.041]No more crying, wipe them tears
[00:39.104]Daddy's here, no more nightmares
[00:39.898]We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
[00:42.189]Laney uncles crazy, aint he? Yeah
[00:45.240]We're all we got in this world
[00:47.309]When it spins, when it swirls
[00:48.095]When it whirls, when it twirls
[00:49.980]Two little beautiful girls
[00:51.177]Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
[00:52.581]I know it's confusing you
[00:54.186]Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
[00:57.100]I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
[00:59.587]The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
[01:02.062]All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
[01:05.058]Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
[01:07.906]We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
[01:10.750]But things have gotten so bad between us
[01:12.346]I don't see us ever being together ever again
[01:14.964]Like we used to be when we was teenagers
[01:16.785]But then of course everything always happens for a reason
[01:20.065]I guess it was never meant to be
[01:21.787]But it's just something we have no control
[01:23.570]over and that's what destiny is
[01:25.289]But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
[01:27.863]Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
[01:30.941]Now hush little baby, don't you cry
[01:33.333]Everything's gonna be alright
[01:35.581]Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, I told ya
[01:38.662]Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
[01:41.299]I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[01:45.017]We feel how we feel inside
[01:47.814]It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[01:49.625]But i promise momma's gon' be alright
[01:52.878]It's funny
[01:53.631]I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[01:56.214]Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
[01:59.328]and said some of 'em were from me
[02:00.716]Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
[02:02.185]I'll never forget that Chris**as I sat up the whole night crying
[02:05.021]Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
[02:07.485]But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
[02:10.603]And at the time every house that we lived in
[02:12.391]Either kept getting broke into and robbed
[02:14.041]Or shot up on the block
[02:16.397]And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
[02:19.334]Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
[02:22.011]Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
[02:24.797]And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
[02:27.535]And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
[02:30.456]Mom and dad was arguin' a lot
[02:32.639]So momma moved back on the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apar**ent
[02:36.039]And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
[02:38.943]And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
[02:42.629]And flew you and momma out to see me
[02:44.439]But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
[02:47.265]Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
[02:50.789]And you and Laney were too young to understand it
[02:53.243]Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
[02:56.122]And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
[02:58.498]I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
[03:01.675]Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[03:04.322]Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
[03:07.304]Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
[03:10.175]To see how much you both have grown,
[03:11.549]it's almost like you're sisters now
[03:12.937]Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
[03:16.511]Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
[03:18.574]I like the sound of that, yeah
[03:20.331]It's got a ring to it don't it?
[03:22.447]Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
[03:24.073]Now hush little baby, don't you cry
[03:27.363]Everything's gonna be alright
[03:29.098]Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, I told ya
[03:32.314]Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
[03:34.868]I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[03:38.522]We feel how we feel inside
[03:40.425]It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[03:43.049]But i promise momma's gon' be alright
[03:46.136]And if you ask me too
[03:47.549]Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
[03:49.963]I'mma give you the world
[03:51.854]I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
[03:53.672]I'mma sing for you
[03:54.745]I'll do anything for you to see you smile
[03:57.790]And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
[04:01.039]I'mma break that birdies neck
[04:03.841]I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya
[04:05.911]And make him eat every carat don't with dad (haha)
