"Mocking Bird Lyrics, Mockingbird is one of the most popular songs of 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 want to 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 gon' pull together through it, we
gon' do it
Lainie 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
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 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 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
[Chorus:]
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's 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 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
'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat
up the whole night crying
'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
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so
you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars 'til
someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke
your mamma'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 Lainnie were too 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
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was
just make you proud
Now I'm sitting 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, I guess you pretty much are
and daddy's still here
Lainnie 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, mama's only gone for the
moment
[Chorus]
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 birdie's neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it
to ya
And make him eat every carat don't
fuck with dad (ha ha)
