Mockingbird - Eminem
Yeah I know sometimes Things may not always make sense to you right now But hey what'ddaddy always tell you Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip What you cryin'about you got me Hailie I know you miss your mom And I know you miss your dad when I'mgone But I'mtryin'to give you the life that I never had I can see you'resad even when you smile even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes deep inside you wanna cry Cause you'rescared I ain'tthere Daddy'swith you in your prayers No more crying wipe them tears Daddy'shere no more nightmares We gon'pull together through it we gon'do it Lainie uncle'scrazy ain'the Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it We'reall 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'sconfusing you Daddy'salways on the move Momma'salways 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'twant 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'tsee 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'sjust something we have no control over And that'swhat destiny is But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'llwake up and this'llall just be a dream Now hush little baby don'tyou cry Everything'sgonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya Daddy'shere to hold ya through the night I know mommy'snot here right now And we don'tknow why We fear how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy pretty baby But I promise momma'sgon'be alright Heh it'sfunny I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up And stuck 'emunder the tree And said some of 'emwere from me Cause daddy couldn'tbuy 'emI'llnever 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 gettin'broken into and robbed or shot up on the block And your mom was saving money for you in a jar Tryin'to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college Almost had a thousand dollars 'Tilsomeone broke in and stole it And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma'sheart And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart Mom and dad was arguing a lot So momma moved back on to Chalmers In the flat one bedroom apartment And dad moved back to the other side of 8Mile on Novara And that'swhen 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 TV And momma didn'tlike it And you and Lainie were too young to understand it Papa was a rolling stone momma developed a habit And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it I'mjust 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'msittin'in this empty house Just reminiscing looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out To see how much you both have grown It'salmost like you'resisters now Wow guess you pretty much are and daddy'sstill here Lainie I'mtalking to you too daddy'sstill here I like the sound of that yeah it'sgot a ring to it don'tit Sssshhh momma'sonly gone for the moment Now hush little baby don'tyou cry Everything'sgonna be alright Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya Daddy'shere to hold ya through the night I know mommy'snot here right now And we don'tknow why We fear how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy pretty baby But I promise momma'sgon'be alright And if you ask me to daddy'sgonna buy you a mockingbird I'magive you the world I'mabuy a diamond ring for you I'masing for you I'lldo anything for you to see you smile And if that mockingbird don'tsing and that ring don'tshine I'mabreak that birdie'sneck I'llgo back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don'tf**kwith dad ha ha Guitar score
