[00:-0.50] Eminem - Mockingbird
[00:01.64]
[00:02.64] Yeah
[00:04.50] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
[00:10.10] But hey, what daddy always tell you?
[00:13.76] Straighten up little soldier
[00:16.17] Stiffen up that upper lip
[00:19.00] What you crying about?
[00:20.89] You got me
[00:21.51]
[00:22.13] Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
[00:24.98] Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:28.04] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
[00:31.07] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
[00:33.79] Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
[00:35.21] Daddy's with you in your prayers
[00:36.60] No more crying, wipe them tears
[00:37.97] Daddy's here, no more nightmares
[00:39.42] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
[00:41.55] Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
[00:43.27] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
[00:45.19] We're all we got in this world
[00:46.54] When it spins, when it swirls
[00:47.87] When it whirls, when it twirls
[00:49.31] Two little beautiful girls
[00:50.77] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
[00:52.09] I know it's confusing you
[00:53.51] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
[00:56.32] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
[00:58.82] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
[01:01.62] All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
[01:04.53] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
[01:07.48] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
[01:09.99] But things have gotten so bad between us
[01:11.59] I don't see us ever being together ever again
[01:14.50] Like we used to be when we was teenagers
[01:16.22] But then of course everything always happens for a reason
[01:19.13] I guess it was never meant to be
[01:20.95] But it's just something we have no control
[01:22.76] over and that's what destiny is
[01:24.61] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
[01:27.12] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
[01:29.85]
[01:30.15] Now hush little baby, don't you cry
[01:32.86] Everything's gonna be alright
[01:34.85] Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya
[01:38.07] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
[01:40.54] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[01:44.28] We feel how we feel inside
[01:46.24] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[01:48.95] But i promise momma's gon' be alright
[01:51.64]
[01:52.09] It's funny
[01:52.55] I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[01:55.36] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
[01:57.11] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
[01:59.72] Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
[02:01.12] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
[02:03.92] Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
[02:06.58] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
[02:09.42] And at the time every house that we lived in
[02:11.80] Either kept getting broke into and robbed
[02:13.89] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
[02:17.95] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
[02:20.71] Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
[02:23.96] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
[02:26.53] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
[02:29.43] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
[02:32.41] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
[02:35.23] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
[02:37.76] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
[02:41.80] And flew you and momma out to see me
[02:43.52] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
[02:46.28] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
[02:49.67] And you and Laney were to young to understand it
[02:52.27] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
[02:55.11] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
[02:57.89] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
[03:00.59] Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[03:03.33] Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
[03:06.43] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
[03:08.70] To see how much you both have grown,
[03:10.09] it's almost like you're sisters now
[03:11.91] Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
[03:15.12] Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
[03:17.94] I like the sound of that, yeah
[03:19.39] It's got a ring to it don't it?
[03:20.82] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
[03:22.76]
[03:23.13] Now hush little baby, don't you cry
[03:25.82] Everything's gonna be alright
[03:27.80] Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya
[03:30.93] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
[03:33.47] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[03:37.16] We feel how we feel inside
[03:39.12] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[03:41.85] But i promise momma's gon' be alright
[03:44.58]
[03:44.88] And if you ask me too
[03:45.85] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
[03:48.54] I'mma give you the world
[03:50.42] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
[03:52.26] I'mma sing for you
[03:53.24] I'll do anything for you to see you smile
[03:56.32] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
[03:59.61] I'mma break that birdies neck
[04:01.65] I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya
[04:04.47] And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
[04:07.17]
