Moking Bird Lyrics - Eminem

Yeah 

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 when 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 wanna cry 

'Cause 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 gonna pull together through it 

We gon' do it 

Laney, 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 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 

As 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 got so bad between us 

I don't see us ever being together ever again 

Like we used to be when 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 

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 and we don't know why 

We feel how we feel inside 

It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby 

But I promise, Mama's gonna be alright 

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 

'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em 

I'll never forget that Christmas 

I sat up the whole night cryin' 

'Cause 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 to start a piggy bank for you 

So you can 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 mama's heart 

And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart 

Mom and dad was arguing a lot 

So mama moved back on the Chalmers in the flat 

One bedroom apartment 

And dad moved back to 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 you and Mama out to see me 

But daddy had to work 

You and mama had to leave me 

Then you started seeing daddy on the TV 

And mama didn't like it 

And you and Laney were too young to understand it 

Papa was a rolling stone 

Mama 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 

'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud 

Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin' 

Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out 

To see how much you both have grown 

It's almost like your sisters now 

Wow, I guess you pretty much are 

And daddy's still here 

Laney I'm talking to you too 

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 

Now hush little baby don't you 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 and we don't know why 

We feel how we feel inside 

It may seem a little crazy pretty baby 

But I promise 

Mama's gonna be alright 

And if you ask me to 

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 birdy's neck 

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

And make him eat every karat 

Don't fuck with dad, haha
