Eminem - Mockingbird(2005)

[00:02.75] Yeah
[00:04.74] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
[00:09.70] But hey, what daddy always tell you?
[00:13.46] Straighten up little soldier
[00:16.01] Stiffen up that upper lip
[00:18.67] What you crying about?
[00:20.93] You got me
[00:22.28] Hailie, I know you miss your mom
[00:23.81] And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
[00:25.64] But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:27.92] I can see you're sad
[00:29.21] Even when you smile
[00:30.26] Even when you laugh
[00:31.26] I can see it in your eyes
[00:32.65] Deep inside, you wanna cry
[00:34.01] 'Cause you're scared
[00:34.98] I ain't there?
[00:35.73] Daddy's with you in your prayers
[00:37.00] No more crying
[00:37.74] Wipe them tears
[00:38.42] Daddy's here
[00:39.27] No more nightmares
[00:39.99] We gonna pull together through it
[00:41.00] We gon' do it
[00:41.91] Laney, uncle's crazy ain't he?
[00:43.32] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
[00:45.32] We're all we got in this world
[00:46.80] When it spins
[00:47.69] When it swirls
[00:48.46] When it whirls
[00:49.16] When it twirls
[00:49.84] Two little beautiful girls
[00:51.11] Looking puzzled, in a daze
[00:52.47] I know it's confusing you
[00:53.81] Daddy's always on the move
[00:55.22] Mama's always on the news
[00:56.74] I try to keep you sheltered from it
[00:58.24] But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that
[01:00.51] The more it backfires on me
[01:02.15] All the things, growing up
[01:03.58] As daddy that he had to see
[01:04.93] Daddy don't want you to see
[01:06.37] But you see just as much as he did
[01:07.85] We did not plan it to be this way
[01:09.49] Your mother and me
[01:10.62] But things have got so bad between us
[01:12.16] I don't see us ever being together ever again
[01:14.57] Like we used to be when was teenagers
[01:16.65] But then of course
[01:17.96] Everything always happens for a reason
[01:19.71] I guess it was never meant to be
[01:21.57] But it's just something
[01:22.63] We have no control over
[01:23.60] And that's what destiny is
[01:25.17] But no more worries
[01:26.45] Rest your head and go to sleep
[01:27.62] Maybe one day we'll wake up
[01:29.00] And this will all just be a dream
[01:30.55] Now hush little baby don't you cry
[01:33.21] Everything's gonna be alright
[01:35.37] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
[01:37.61] I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya
[01:39.96] Through the night
[01:41.28] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[01:44.59] We feel how we feel inside
[01:46.77] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[01:49.30] But I promise, Mama's gon' be alright
[01:52.33] It's funny
[01:53.51] I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[01:55.91] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
[01:57.78] And stuck them under the tree
[01:59.10] And said some of them were from me
[02:00.55] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
[02:01.85] I'll never forget that Christmas
[02:03.25] I sat up the whole night cryin'
[02:04.65] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum
[02:06.08] See daddy had a job
[02:07.32] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
[02:10.02] And at the time, every house that we lived in
[02:12.63] Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
[02:15.78] And your mom, was saving money
[02:17.73] For you in a jar trying to start a piggy bank for you
[02:20.30] So you can go to college
[02:21.72] Almost had a thousand dollars
[02:23.03] 'Till someone broke in and stole it
[02:24.88] And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your mama's heart
[02:27.18] And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
[02:29.96] Mom and dad was arguing a lot
[02:32.19] So mama moved back on the Chalmers in the flat
[02:34.53] One bedroom apartment
[02:35.97] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra
[02:38.66] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
[02:41.35] And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me
[02:44.23] But daddy had to work
[02:45.75] You and mama had to leave me
[02:47.24] Then you started seeing daddy on the TV
[02:49.30] And mama didn't like it
[02:50.76] And you and Laney were too young to understand it
[02:53.07] Papa was a rolling stone
[02:54.51] Mama developed a habit
[02:55.98] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
[02:58.75] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
[03:01.51] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[03:04.13] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
[03:07.21] Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out
[03:09.77] To see how much you both have grown
[03:11.49] It's almost like your sisters now
[03:12.99] Wow, I guess you pretty much are
[03:15.19] And daddy's still here
[03:16.32] Laney I'm talking to you too
[03:17.63] Daddy's still here
[03:19.08] I like the sound of that yeah
[03:20.45] It's got a ring to it, don't it?
[03:21.94] Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment
[03:24.00] Now hush little baby don't you cry
[03:26.79] Everything's gonna be alright
[03:28.82] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
[03:31.28] I told ya daddy's here to hold ya
[03:33.55] Through the night
[03:34.72] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
[03:38.11] We feel how we feel inside
[03:40.12] It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
[03:42.99] But I promise
[03:44.17] Mama's gonna be alright
[03:45.95] And if you ask me to
[03:47.14] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
[03:49.51] I'mma give you the world
[03:51.65] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
[03:53.50] I'mma sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smile
[03:57.08] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
[04:00.76] I'mma break that birdy's neck
[04:02.98] I'll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya
[04:05.64] And make him eat every karat
[04:07.68] Don't fuck with dad, haha
[04:09.22]
