Mockingbird

Mockingbird(Complete version originally performed by Eminem) - Various Artists (歐美群星)

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

Well 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 want to cry

Cuz 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 gon' pull together through it

We gon' do it

Laney uncles 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

Lookin' puzzled in a daze

I know it's confusing you

Daddy's always on the move

Mamma'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 his 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 gotten so bad between us

I don't see us ever being together ever again

Like we used to be when we 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

Everything's gonna be alright

Stiffen that upperlip 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 momma's gon' be alright

It's funny

I remember back one year

When daddy had no money

Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

And stuck 'em under the tree

And said some of 'em were from me

Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em

I'll never forget that Christmas

I sat up the whole night crying

Cuz 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 broke into and robbed

Or shot up on the block

And your mom was saving money for you in a jar

Tryna start a piggy bank for you

So you could 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 momma's heart

And it seemed like everything was

Just startin' to fall apart

Mom and dad was arguin' a lot

So momma moved back

On the Chalmers in the flat

One bedroom apartment

And dad moved back

To the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

And that's when daddy went to

California with his CD

And met Dr Dre

And flew you and momma out to see me

But daddy had to work

You and momma had to leave me

Then you started seeing daddy on the T V

And momma didn't like it

And you and Laney were to young

To understand it

Papa was a rollin' stone

Momma 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

Cuz all I ever wanted to do

Was just make you proud

Now I'm sittin in this empty house

Just reminiscing

Lookin' at your baby pictures

It just trips me out

To see how much you both have grown

It's almost like you're sisters now

Wow guess you pretty much are

And daddy's still here

Laney I'm talkin' to you too

Daddy's still here

I like the sound of that yeah

It's got a ring to it don't it

Shh momma's only gone for the moment

Now hush little baby don't you cry

Everything's gonna be alright

Stiffen that upperlip 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 momma's gon' be alright

And if you ask me too

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 birdies neck

I'd go back to the jewler

Who sold it to ya

And make him eat every carat

Don't f**k with dad (haha)
