Mockingbird lyrics

Artist  : Eminem 
Song : Mockingbird
 


Yeah
I know sometimes things might 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'chu
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 wanna 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 gonna pull together through
it
We gon’ do it
Laini, 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
Looking puzzled, in a
daze
I know it’s confusing you
Daddy’s
always on the move
Mama’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 me (to see?)
That we did
not plan it to be this way
You’re 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 was
teenagers
But then of coarse
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
Everythings 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 gonna be
alright


It’s funny
I remember
back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy
wrapped the Christamas presents up
and stuck
them under the tree
and said some of them were
from me
Cos daddy couldn’t buy
‘em
I’ll never forget that Christmas
I
sat up the whole night cryin’
Cuz daddy felt
like a bum
See dadday 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 trying to start
a piggy bank for you
So you can 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 mama’s heart
And
it seemed like everything was just starting to
fall apart
Mom and dads was arguing a
lot
So mama moved back on the _?____ and the
flat
One bedroom apartment
And dad moved
back to the other side of 8 mile on
Novarra
And that’s when daddy went to
California with his CD
And met Dr. Dre and
flew you and Mama out to see me
But daddy had
to work
You and mama had to leave me
Then
you started seeing daddy on the TV
And mama
didn’t like it
And you and Laini were too
young to understand it
Papa was a rolling
stone
mama 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
reminiscin’
Looking at your baby pictures it
just trips me out
To see how much you both have
grown
It’s almost like your sisters
now
Wow, I guess you pretty much are
And
daddy’s still here
Laini I’m talking to
you too
Daddy’s still here
I like the
sound of that, yeah
It’s got a ring to it,
don’t it?
Shhh, mama’s only gone for the
moment


[Chorus]
Now hush little
baby don’t you cry
Everythings 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 gonna be
alright


And if you ask me
to,
Daddy’s gonna buy you a mocking
bird
I’ma give you the world
I’ma buy a
diamond ring for you
I’ma sing for you,
I’ll do anything for you to see you
smile
And if the mockingbird don’t sing and
the ring don’t shine
I’ma break that
birdy’s neck
I’ll go back to the ***eler
who sold it to ya
And make him eat every
karat
Don’t fuck wit dat.
haha
