�� Mockingbird, �� . ��-�� . (original) (raw)

I know sometimes things may 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 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 want to 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 gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

�� , �� .

Laney uncles crazy, aint 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 gotten 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 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 momma's gon' be alright

�� , �� .

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

�� , �� .

Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em

�� .

I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying

� �� , �� ,

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 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

� �� 8 �� .

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 to 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

�� , �� ,

Cuz 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

�-�, ��, �� .

And if you ask me too

� �� ,

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

�� .

I'mma give you the world

� �� ,

I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

� �� ,

I'mma 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'mma break that birdies neck

� �� ,

I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya

� �� , �� .

And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)

� �� , �� (��-��).
