[00:00:00] Mockingbird - Straight Up

[00:00:03] Yeah

[00:00:05] I know sometimes things may not

[00:00:08] Always make sense to you right now

[00:00:11] But hey what daddy always tell you

[00:00:14] Straighten up little soldier

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

[00:00:19] What you crying about

[00:00:21] You got me

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

[00:00:24] And I know you miss your dad

[00:00:26] When I'm gone but I'm trying

[00:00:27] To give you the life that I never had

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

[00:00:30] Even when you laugh

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

[00:00:34] 'Cause you're scared I ain't there

[00:00:36] Daddy's with you in your prayers

[00:00:37] No more crying wipe them tears

[00:00:39] Daddy's here no more nightmares

[00:00:40] We gon' pull together through it we gon' do it

[00:00:42] Lainie Uncle's crazy ain't he

[00:00:44] Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it

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

[00:00:47] When it spins when it swirls

[00:00:49] When it whirls when it twirls

[00:00:50] Two little beautiful girls

[00:00:51] Lookin' puzzled in a daze

[00:00:53] I know it's confusing you

[00:00:54] Daddy's always on the move mamma's always on the news

[00:00:57] I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

[00:01:00] The harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me

[00:01:02] All the things growing up as daddy that he had to see

[00:01:05] Daddy don't want you to see but you see

[00:01:07] Just as much as he did

[00:01:08] We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me

[00:01:11] But things have gotten so bad between us

[00:01:13] I don't see us ever being together ever again

[00:01:15] Like we used to be when we was teenagers

[00:01:17] But then of course everything always happens for a reason

[00:01:20] I guess it was never meant to be

[00:01:22] But it's just something we have no control

[00:01:23] Over and that's what destiny is

[00:01:25] But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep

[00:01:28] Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will

[00:01:30] All just be a dream

[00:01:31] Now hush little baby don't you cry

[00:01:34] Everything's gonna be alright

[00:01:36] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya

[00:01:39] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[00:01:41] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[00:01:45] We feel how we feel inside

[00:01:47] It may seem a little crazy pretty baby

[00:01:50] But I promise mama's gon' be alright

[00:01:53] It's funny

[00:01:54] I remember back one year when daddy had no money

[00:01:56] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up

[00:01:58] And stuck 'em under the tree and said

[00:02:00] Some of 'em were from me

[00:02:01] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

[00:02:02] I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up

[00:02:04] The whole night crying

[00:02:05] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum see daddy had a job

[00:02:08] But his job was to keep the

[00:02:09] Food on the table for you and mom

[00:02:10] And at the time every house that we lived in

[00:02:13] Either kept getting broken into and robbed

[00:02:15] Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving

[00:02:18] Money for you in a jar

[00:02:19] Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college

[00:02:22] Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke

[00:02:25] In and stole it

[00:02:25] And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mamma's heart

[00:02:28] And it seemed like everything was just startin'

[00:02:30] To fall apart

[00:02:30] Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back

[00:02:33] On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

[00:02:36] And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

[00:02:39] And that's when daddy went to

[00:02:40] California with his CD and met Dr Dre

[00:02:43] And flew you and momma out to see me

[00:02:45] But daddy had to work you and momma had to leave me

[00:02:48] Then you started seeing daddy on the T V

[00:02:50] And momma didn't like it

[00:02:51] And you and Laney were too young to understand it

[00:02:53] That papa was a rollin' stone momma developed a habit

[00:02:56] And it all happened too fast for

[00:02:58] Either one of us to grab it

[00:02:59] I'm just sorry you were there and had to

[00:03:01] Witness it first hand

[00:03:02] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

[00:03:04] Now I'm sitting in this empty house just reminiscing

[00:03:08] Lookin' at your baby pictures it just trips me out

[00:03:10] To see how much you both have grown it's almost

[00:03:12] Like you're sisters now

[00:03:13] Wow I guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here

[00:03:16] Laney I'm talkin' to you too daddy's still here

[00:03:19] I like the sound of that yeah

[00:03:21] It's got a ring to it don't it

[00:03:22] Shh mama's only gone for the moment

[00:03:24] Now hush little baby don't you cry

[00:03:27] Everything's gonna be alright

[00:03:29] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya

[00:03:32] Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[00:03:35] I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

[00:03:38] We feel how we feel inside

[00:03:40] It may seem a little crazy pretty baby

[00:03:43] But I promise mama's gon' be alright

[00:03:46] And if you ask me to

[00:03:47] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

[00:03:50] I'mma give you the world

[00:03:52] I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

[00:03:54] I'mma sing for you

[00:03:55] I'll do anything for you to see you smile

[00:03:58] And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

[00:04:01] I'mma break that birdie's neck

[00:04:03] I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

[00:04:06] And make him eat every carat don't f**k with dad (ha ha)
