EMINEM

  1. Yeah, I know sometimes
  2. Things may not always make sense to you right now
  3. But, hey, what daddy always tell you?
  4. Straighten up, little soldier
  5. Stiffen up that upper lip
  6. What you cryin' about?
  7. You got me
  8.  
  9. Hailie, I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
  10. Well, I'm gone, but I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
  11. I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
  12. I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
  13. 'Cause you're scared, I ain't there
  14. Daddy's with you in your prayers
  15. No more cryin', wipe them tears
  16. Daddy's here, no more nightmares
  17. We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
  18. Lainie, uncle's crazy, ain't he?
  19. Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it
  20. We're all we got in this world
  21. When it spins, when it swirls
  22. When it whirls, when it twirls
  23. Two little beautiful girls
  24. Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
  25. I know it's confusin' you
  26. Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news
  27. I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems
  28. The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
  29. All the things growin' up his as daddy that he had to see
  30. Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did
  31. We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
  32. But things have gotten so bad between us
  33. I don't see us ever bein' together ever again
  34. Like we used to be when we was teenagers
  35. But then, of course, everything always happens for a reason
  36. I guess it was never meant to be
  37. But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
  38. But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
  39. Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
  40.  
  41. Now hush, little baby, don't you cry
  42. Everything's gonna be alright
  43. Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
  44. Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
  45. I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
  46. We fear how we feel inside
  47. It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
  48. But I promise mama's gon' be alright
  49.  
  50. It's funny
  51. I remember back one year, when daddy had no money
  52. Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
  53. And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
  54. 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
  55. I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying
  56. 'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see, daddy had a job
  57. But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
  58. And at the time, every house that we lived in
  59. Either kept gettin' broke into and robbed or shot up on the block
  60. And your mom was savin' money for you in a jar
  61. Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
  62. Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
  63. And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your mama's heart
  64. And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
  65. Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back
  66. On the Chalmers in the flat, one bedroom apartment
  67. And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
  68. And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
  69. And flew you and momma out to see me
  70. But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
  71. Then you started seein' daddy on the TV and momma didn't like it
  72. And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
  73. Papa was a rolling stone, momma developed a habit
  74. And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
  75. I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
  76. 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
  77. Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
  78. Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
  79. To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
  80. Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here
  81. Lainie, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
  82. I like the sound of that, yeah
  83. It's got a ring to it, don't it?
  84. Shh, mama's only gone for the moment
  85.  
  86. Now hush, little baby, don't you cry
  87. Everything's gonna be alright
  88. Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
  89. Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
  90. I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
  91. We fear how we feel inside
  92. It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
  93. But I promise mama's gon' be alright
  94.  
  95. And if you ask me to
  96. Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
  97. I'ma give you the world
  98. I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
  99. I'ma sing for you
  100. I'll do anything for you to see you smile
  101. And if that mocking bird don't sing and that ring don't shine
  102. I'ma break that birdie's neck
  103. I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
  104. And make him eat every carat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
