Eminem – Mockingbird Lyrics
[00:10.000] Yeah
[00:11.857] I know sometimes things may not
[00:14.597] Always make sense to you right now
[00:17.450] But hey, what daddy always tell you?
[00:21.360] Straighten up little soldier
[00:23.800] Stiffen up that upper lip
[00:26.658] What you crying about?
[00:28.200] You got me
[00:29.596] Hailie, I know you miss your mom
[00:31.154] And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
[00:33.041] But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
[00:35.420] I can see you're sad
[00:36.614] Even when you smile
[00:37.490] Even when you laugh
[00:38.450] I can see it in your eyes
[00:39.805] Deep inside, you wanna cry
[00:41.316] 'Cause you're scared
[00:42.142] I ain't there?
[00:42.765] Daddy's with you in your prayers
[00:44.173] No more crying
[00:44.924] Wipe them tears
[00:45.614] Daddy's here
[00:46.232] No more nightmares
[00:46.915] We gonna pull together through it
[00:48.351] We gon' do it
[00:49.253] Lainie, uncle's crazy ain't he?
[00:50.361] Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
[00:52.696] We're all we got in this world
[00:54.063] When it spins
[00:54.796] When it swirls
[00:55.523] When it whirls
[00:56.240] When it twirls
[00:56.979] Two little beautiful girls
[00:58.259] Looking puzzled, in a daze
[01:00.001] I know it's confusing you
[01:01.351] Daddy's always on the move
[01:02.667] Mama's always on the news
[01:04.070] I try to keep you sheltered from it
[01:05.726] But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that
[01:07.962] The more it backfires on me
[01:09.512] All the things, growing up
[01:10.673] As daddy that he had to see
[01:12.093] Daddy don't want you to see
[01:13.574] But you see just as much as he did
[01:15.141] We did not plan it to be this way
[01:16.729] Your mother and me
[01:17.780] But things have got so bad between us
[01:19.236] I don't see us ever being together ever again
[01:22.159] Like we used to be when was teenagers
[01:24.033] But then of course
[01:25.001] Everything always happens for a reason
[01:27.200] I guess it was never meant to be
[01:28.626] But it's just something
[01:29.604] We have no control over
[01:30.836] And that's what destiny is
[01:32.566] But no more worries
[01:33.474] Rest your head and go to sleep
[01:34.808] Maybe one day we'll wake up
[01:36.221] And this will all just be a dream
[01:38.035] Now hush little baby don't you cry
[01:40.516] Everything's gonna be alright
[01:42.584] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
[01:44.799] I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya
[01:47.234] Through the night
[01:48.600] I know mommy's not here right now
[01:50.456] And we don't know why
[01:51.920] We fear how we feel inside
[01:54.143] It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
[01:56.931] But I promise, Momma's gon' be alright
[02:00.019] It's funny
[02:00.978] I remember back one year when daddy had no money
[02:03.267] Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
[02:04.933] And stuck 'em under the tree
[02:06.326] And said some of them were from me
[02:07.794] 'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
[02:08.989] I'll never forget that Christmas
[02:10.534] I sat up the whole night cryin'
[02:11.813] 'Cause daddy felt like a bum
[02:13.232] See daddy had a job
[02:14.608] But his job was to keep the food on the table
[02:16.414] For you and mom
[02:17.528] And at the time, every house that we lived in
[02:20.053] Either kept getting broken into
[02:21.500] And robbed or shot up on the block
[02:23.218] And your mom, was saving money
[02:24.960] For you in a jar trying to start a piggy bank for you
[02:27.718] So you can go to college
[02:28.820] Almost had a thousand dollars
[02:30.412] 'Til someone broke in and stole it
[02:32.024] And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your mama's heart
[02:34.549] And it seemed like everything was just starting
[02:36.376] To fall apart
[02:37.614] Mom and dad was arguing a lot
[02:39.475] So mama moved back on the Chalmers in the flat
[02:42.098] One bedroom apartment
[02:43.166] And dad moved back to the other side of
[02:44.682] 8 mile on Novarra
[02:46.194] And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
[02:48.837] And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me
[02:51.621] But daddy had to work
[02:52.881] You and mama had to leave me
[02:54.487] Then you started seeing daddy on the TV
[02:56.867] And mama didn't like it
[02:58.121] And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
[03:00.428] Papa was a rolling stone
[03:01.678] Mama developed a habit
[03:03.188] And it all happened too fast
[03:04.543] For either one of us to grab it
[03:06.007] I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness
[03:08.204] It first hand
[03:08.711] 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[03:11.700] Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
[03:14.520] Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out
[03:17.124] To see how much you both have grown
[03:18.557] It's almost like your sisters now
[03:20.453] Wow, I guess you pretty much are
[03:22.429] And daddy's still here
[03:23.426] Lainie I'm talking to you too
[03:25.124] Daddy's still here
[03:26.354] I like the sound of that, yeah
[03:27.782] It's got a ring to it, don't it?
[03:29.181] Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment
[03:31.200] Now hush little baby don't you cry
[03:33.904] Everything's gonna be alright
[03:36.067] Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
[03:38.682] I told ya daddy's here to hold ya
[03:40.705] Through the night
[03:41.927] I know mommy's not here right now
[03:43.913] And we don't know why
[03:45.444] We fear how we feel inside
[03:47.570] It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
[03:50.323] But I promise
[03:51.341] Mama's gonna be alright
[03:52.967] And if you ask me to
[03:54.196] Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
[03:56.956] I'ma give you the world
[03:58.957] I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
[04:00.839] I'ma sing for you
[04:01.878] I'll do anything for you to see you smile
[04:04.805] And if that mockingbird don't sing
[04:06.687] And that ring don't shine
[04:08.152] I'ma break that birdy's neck
[04:10.356] I'll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya
[04:13.123] And make him eat every carat
[04:14.822] Don't f*ck with dad, haha
