《Mocking Bird》歌词

[00:00:02] Yeah

[00:00:04] I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now

[00:00:10] But hey, what daddy always tell you?

[00:00:13] Straighten up little soldier

[00:00:16] Stiffen up that upper lip

[00:00:19] What you crying about?

[00:00:20] You got me

[00:00:22] Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad

[00:00:24] Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

[00:00:28] I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh

[00:00:31] I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

[00:00:33] Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?

[00:00:35] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:00:36] No more crying, wipe them tears

[00:00:37] Daddy's here, no more nightmares

[00:00:39] We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it

[00:00:41] Laney uncles crazy, aint he?

[00:00:43] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

[00:00:45] We're all we got in this world

[00:00:46] When it spins, when it swirls

[00:00:47] When it whirls, when it twirls

[00:00:49] Two little beautiful girls

[00:00:50] Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

[00:00:52] I know it's confusing you

[00:00:53] Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

[00:00:56] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[00:00:58] The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

[00:01:01] All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see

[00:01:04] Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

[00:01:07] We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

[00:01:09] But things have gotten so bad between us

[00:01:11] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[00:01:14] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[00:01:16] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[00:01:19] I guess it was never meant to be

[00:01:20] But it's just something we have no control

[00:01:22] Over and that's what destiny is

[00:01:24] But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

[00:01:27] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[00:01:30] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[00:01:32] Everything's gonna be alright

[00:01:34] Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya

[00:01:38] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[00:01:40] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[00:01:44] We feel how we feel inside

[00:01:46] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[00:01:48] But i promise momma's gon' be alright

[00:01:52] It's funny

[00:01:52] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[00:01:55] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

[00:01:57] And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me

[00:01:59] Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em

[00:02:01] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying

[00:02:03] Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job

[00:02:06] But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom

[00:02:09] And at the time every house that we lived in

[00:02:11] Either kept getting broke into and robbed

[00:02:13] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar

[00:02:17] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[00:02:20] Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it

[00:02:23] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart

[00:02:26] And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart

[00:02:29] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[00:02:32] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[00:02:35] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[00:02:37] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre

[00:02:41] And flew you and momma out to see me

[00:02:43] But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me

[00:02:46] Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it

[00:02:49] And you and Laney were to young to understand it

[00:02:52] Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

[00:02:55] And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it

[00:02:57] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand

[00:03:00] Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[00:03:03] Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing

[00:03:06] Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out

[00:03:08] To see how much you both have grown,

[00:03:10] It's almost like you're sisters now

[00:03:11] Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[00:03:15] Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here

[00:03:17] I like the sound of that, yeah

[00:03:19] It's got a ring to it don't it?

[00:03:20] Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[00:03:23] Now hush little baby, don't you cry

[00:03:25] Everything's gonna be alright

[00:03:27] Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya

[00:03:30] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[00:03:33] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[00:03:37] We feel how we feel inside

[00:03:39] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

[00:03:41] But i promise momma's gon' be alright

[00:03:44] And if you ask me too

[00:03:45] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[00:03:48] I'mma give you the world

[00:03:50] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

[00:03:52] I'mma sing for you

[00:03:53] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[00:03:56] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[00:03:59] I'mma break that birdies neck

[00:04:01] I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya

[00:04:04] And make him eat every carat don't f**k with dad (haha)
