if you really think about it, it is very sad and tragic because he only deserves heaven and peace even he was already in prison and he was kicked out of 3 schools and his best friend died.That such a good person still had to go through something so hard is wary sad 😪😥😭

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 confusin' 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 growin' 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 bein' 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 somethin' 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'll all just be a dream [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] Heh, 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 gettin' broken into and robbed or shot up on the block And your Mom was savin' 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, 'til 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 startin' to fall apart Mom and Dad was arguin' a lot So Mama moved back on to 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 Mama out to see me But Daddy had to work, you and Mama had to leave me Then you started seein' Daddy on the TV And Mama didn't like it And you and Lainie 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 firsthand 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud Now I'm sittin' in this empty house just reminiscin' 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, guess you pretty much are, and Daddy's still here Lainie, 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
Heard this song when I was 8. Remember crying every night while listening, not only for the lyrics but the fact that my dad was never close to me and even being that young, always knew my dad wouldn't do anything close to this; wasn't even interested in my life
This really broke my heart... I'm so sorry about everything you went through. I always think that my dad and I could have a better relationship. Hope you're doing fine now.
I can't even imagine how my dad looked because he died after the 5 months when i was born so i couldn't remember his face i could only see him in photos...
Have faith... Most Eminem fans are struggling that's why we listen to his music to keep us moving... Take it one day at a time... You got this... Much love 🙏🏾✨
Bro... this hit hard and deep in my heart. My parents are fighting every day, and the online person that used to save me from them used to make me feel ok, the only person that could save me... leave. and now I'm sitting with my headphones at maxim volume, with tears in my eyes listening to this and wishing for a better tomorrow.. peace to all and stay strong, bro🥺😔 Edit from a year.. Thank you all, mates. I didn't think there were many people kind and...amazing. thank you all for the good wishes
I'm here because I've just realised how hard it is for my single father who's only 28. My mother had me at 16 and she just left- So its just been me and my dad all along. Back in South Korea we didn't really have much but my amazing dad worked around 3-4 jobs and he got enough to move us to New Zealand! I got into a great school but whenever I get low grades I always get punished and pressured to do better. But, with time he started to understand it from my point of view. I'm only 12 and I still have along way to go! I'm glad I've got a father that loves me just as much I do and never gave up on me!
Meu pai foi embora.. E eu tive que encontrar uma figura paterna.. É oq uma criança precisa. Então meu meio-irmão cuidou de mim como se fosse uma filha, ele nunca deixou faltar nada e sempre ajudou minha mãe.. Ele me mostrou essa musica e eu a canto pra minha sobrinha (filha dele). Ele estava la nos meus torneios escolares, nas festa dos dias dos pais e em todos os eventos. Foi ele que me deu força e hoje sou uma mulher forte e orgulhosa do pai que ele se tornou.. Amo meu irmão❣️
Just lost my mom. 23 years old can’t believe she’s gone, this hits hard and I’ve never watched all the movies. This sound is what it feels like to lose the closet person in your life. Love you guys hope you have a blessed day.
It's been a year since your comment. I'm hoping you're doing much now. Perception is what makes the difference. Reality - glass half full... glass half empty Perception - you have a glass 🫂
This song only hit hard to those : 1. Whose parents fought at childhood 2. Your father died 3. You made your mother cry 4. Your father went to store for milk
Na my story is different actually it is based on a stray dog puppy that I used to feed, and his Mumma is missing idk what happened to her but now he's alone every other dog bullies him they scare him and sometimes bite also...he doesn't go anywhere because of fear. That's why his source of food is limited. His poor soul is suffering so much 😓
I remember hearing this song with my friend she asked if I was okay growing up my dad wasnt rly close to me but he would always warm me up when my mother was at work my mother & father always fought & i just turned this on & get lost in a state that just makes everything feel better. Now since I am a teenager I listen to this just to cry & remember what my mother & father did for me... 💔

What we can change, but we don't, we choose. If you don't want your life to be this way, you have to struggle to change it. I know it's hard, I've been there, feeling trapped and caged. I've been fighting since I was born until now, 26yo. 26 years of struggle to get rid of poverty and loneliness and still on the battlefield. I know you can too, warrior. Draw your sword and let's go. There's no way out: or we fight or we die.
"dont worry bro, what's the worst that could happen..." The last thing I heard from my best friend before his final drive... I still miss you Johnathan it should have been me man you didn't deserve to die a few days before your birthday, I'm writing this for you as a memorial Incase I do something rash in my life and I end up coming to you...
He didn't deserve anything that happened to him. Things happen so fast and unexpectedly. Keep your head up and stay strong. He wouldn't want you to be sad over his unexpected passing. If he ever heard you say "it should have been me" I can promise you that if you had died that night he would have been saying the same thing. He's not gone you two will reunite when the time is right. 🤍 there's someone who cares about and loves you so much. It's going to hurt for a while my bro but you just need to stay strong for him. He'd want you to live a happy life 🤍. I'm so sorry for your loss. And don't feel like you're not allowed to cry for him feeling grief is never bad it's just naturally going to happen losing someone close to you.
straighten up my soldiers, were males, were gladiators, were champions who conquered the world, were the ones who created the world, let's stay strong and positive for each other love y'all fr stay strong my people❤️🙏🏼
I was quiet. Not blind. My eyes are fine. There are just times I find that silence will give me all the answers I need. Not violence. I didn't do it for you. I chose kindness for me.
This song works so well with Homer, while he may not be the greatest father or role model he tries his best to be there for his family and works hard to support his family and give his kids a better life than Grandpa did for him
I miss being happy when life was easy but now people is not like they used to anymore is like everything is disappearing now 😭😭😭😭😭 I just miss the happy days 😢😢😢
@@IceBear09 actually my dad is alive, actually my mom and dad separated a lot years ago.now i live with my mom. i also go to my dad's house but he's not alwyas near me

(Haha) your welcome :)
I think we're in a ridiculous world that doesn't care whether we exist or not, and doesn't care how we feel. When I was a child I used to think that the universe cared about me, and now my view of the universe has changed and I have become more depressed and apathetic💔.

[Intro]
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 cryin' about?
You got me
[Verse 1]
Hailie, I know you miss your Mom, and I know you miss your Dad
When I'm gone, but I'm tryin' 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
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, Daddy's wit' you in your prayers
No more cryin', 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 confusin' 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 growin' 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 bein'
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 somethin' 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'll all just be a dream
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Heh, 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 gettin' broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
And your Mom was savin' 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, 'til 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 startin' to fall apart
Mom and Dad was arguin' a lot
So Mama moved back on to 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 Mama out to see me
But Daddy had to work, you and Mama had to leave me
Then you started seein' Daddy on the TV
And Mama didn't like it
And you and Lainie 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 firsthand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house just reminiscin'
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, guess you pretty much are, and Daddy's still here
Lainie, 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
Thx
Thanks ❤
Bro respect but it took you three years to write that u missed COVID touch grass brudda
"correction" on the end he says HahA
Heard this song when I was 8. Remember crying every night while listening, not only for the lyrics but the fact that my dad was never close to me and even being that young, always knew my dad wouldn't do anything close to this; wasn't even interested in my life
This really broke my heart... I'm so sorry about everything you went through. I always think that my dad and I could have a better relationship. Hope you're doing fine now.
same here babe my both parents left me and am still alone
I hope someday you'll find someone can treat you better and heal all your pain🖤
Me who lost my mom and dad when I was just 4 : 😶
I can't even imagine how my dad looked because he died after the 5 months when i was born so i couldn't remember his face i could only see him in photos...
i just wish life was better. everything’s so difficult.

Masterpiece never gets old 💗
I'm here because I've just realised how hard it is for my single father who's only 28. My mother had me at 16 and she just left- So its just been me and my dad all along. Back in South Korea we didn't really have much but my amazing dad worked around 3-4 jobs and he got enough to move us to New Zealand! I got into a great school but whenever I get low grades I always get punished and pressured to do better. But, with time he started to understand it from my point of view. I'm only 12 and I still have along way to go! I'm glad I've got a father that loves me just as much I do and never gave up on me!
Sad story 😭😭😭
My dad had me at 22.. I know how it feels. ..(im 13)
I hope you and ur dad are better now
Mine at 28 to im 13 by the way
My dad didnt care for me, i wish i was punished for not getting good grades. Life would be different.
Bro your story Is my story Bro sad for you bro
My older sister used to sing this to me..
Now im singing this to my little brother..
😫😩
Meu pai foi embora..
E eu tive que encontrar uma figura paterna.. É oq uma criança precisa.
Então meu meio-irmão cuidou de mim como se fosse uma filha, ele nunca deixou faltar nada e sempre ajudou minha mãe..
Ele me mostrou essa musica e eu a canto pra minha sobrinha (filha dele).
Ele estava la nos meus torneios escolares, nas festa dos dias dos pais e em todos os eventos. Foi ele que me deu força e hoje sou uma mulher forte e orgulhosa do pai que ele se tornou.. Amo meu irmão❣️

Hey you... yes, you... Never give up... you got this!
Thanks broskii❤
The fact that he explained his whole life in one song is different 🔥
Doesn't matter whats is now in your life but remember ❤ HARD WORK ALWAYS PAYS ❤
Man, this song hits hard..! Sometimes I wish life was easier.. life is difficult…
It be like that but it will all be ok we all go through these times but that’s just how life goes
Sad songs just make me happy
I can relate
This song only hit hard to those :
1. Whose parents fought at childhood
2. Your father died
3. You made your mother cry
4. Your father went to store for milk
Na my story is different actually it is based on a stray dog puppy that I used to feed, and his Mumma is missing idk what happened to her but now he's alone every other dog bullies him they scare him and sometimes bite also...he doesn't go anywhere because of fear. That's why his source of food is limited. His poor soul is suffering so much 😓
3...
i was taking it seriously until i read 4
3 and 2...
3 and 2
This song hits different🖤
my problems still there but not overwhelming anymore. maybe this is my year. keep your heads up yall
I remember hearing this song with my friend she asked if I was okay growing up my dad wasnt rly close to me but he would always warm me up when my mother was at work my mother & father always fought & i just turned this on & get lost in a state that just makes everything feel better. Now since I am a teenager I listen to this just to cry & remember what my mother & father did for me... 💔
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 wanna 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 gonna 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
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 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 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
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 fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, Momma's gon' be alright
It's funny

And stuck 'em under the tree

And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

I'll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat

Have this on repeat 🔥🔥
this song never pass away ❤🔥
This song + memories😩🥺
I don't wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this either.
Trust me I understand how you feel
What we can change, but we don't, we choose.
If you don't want your life to be this way, you have to struggle to change it. I know it's hard, I've been there, feeling trapped and caged. I've been fighting since I was born until now, 26yo.
26 years of struggle to get rid of poverty and loneliness and still on the battlefield.
I know you can too, warrior. Draw your sword and let's go.
There's no way out: or we fight or we die.
Then change yourself instead of watching videos on UA-cam lmao and complaining in the comments
Что-то среднее...
Buudy I am gone through this but plzz be strong trust me. Life will be better I swear. Just let things pass
Don't love me, hate me, hurt me, destroy me, leave me, before you abandon me, kill me, bury me, don't remember me, forget me.
I don't have to tell that anybody they are already doing it.
I mean i think not even my dad loves me
Same I looked in his eyes he just sees me as an investment😢@@andreclausen3317

We're in that stage in life where God is making us strong before he makes us happy!
"dont worry bro, what's the worst that could happen..." The last thing I heard from my best friend before his final drive... I still miss you Johnathan it should have been me man you didn't deserve to die a few days before your birthday, I'm writing this for you as a memorial Incase I do something rash in my life and I end up coming to you...
He didn't deserve anything that happened to him. Things happen so fast and unexpectedly. Keep your head up and stay strong. He wouldn't want you to be sad over his unexpected passing. If he ever heard you say "it should have been me" I can promise you that if you had died that night he would have been saying the same thing. He's not gone you two will reunite when the time is right. 🤍 there's someone who cares about and loves you so much. It's going to hurt for a while my bro but you just need to stay strong for him. He'd want you to live a happy life 🤍. I'm so sorry for your loss. And don't feel like you're not allowed to cry for him feeling grief is never bad it's just naturally going to happen losing someone close to you.
thats why always spend the time with someone u like u don't know they won't be tomorrow who knows.
Is it just me but why do i feel like my life is usless 😢. Eminems song always helps me get over my depression thank god for such a man.
Slow motion is sad😢but legend❤
Yeah bro it's sad
We must stay strong brothers, don’t listen with sadness, listen with determination and lock in for the life you aim for.
This really got me fr thanks 💔❤️
I can just imagine if this is slowed than what would be normal song, yes speed of light comes in play 🙌
this hits hard
This is sooooo good 😌 and I love this song but Eminem will cry when he hears this 😢
The difference between a happy song and a sad song, is defined by the person listening to the song, rather than the song itself
The masculine urge of never letting your child relate their life to this song cause you want to give them the best life ❤🩹
straighten up my soldiers, were males, were gladiators, were champions who conquered the world, were the ones who created the world, let's stay strong and positive for each other love y'all fr stay strong my people❤️🙏🏼
I love this bro. Who ever you are, where ever you are. We got this. Chin up warrior. We’ll conquer again
thanks man, stay strong people.
I was quiet. Not blind. My eyes are fine. There are just times I find that silence will give me all the answers I need. Not violence. I didn't do it for you. I chose kindness for me.
my head seems empty, but there are so many thoughts that I don't want to think about....
"People cry, no because they are weak. It's because they've been strong for too long."
- Unknown Legend
this song melts me, i love it so much. never fails me. ❤❤
❤ i love it ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too
Makes me think of memories can relate to this song so hard 😢😢
when your happy you like the melody when ur sad you understand the lyrics
This sounds so good
knowing the translation, he simply does not speak and he transmits good energy
Broo slowed is always like another galaxy sound
Instead of the word dad....it's myself who keeps me strong. I wish I got a dad like Eminem
This song works so well with Homer, while he may not be the greatest father or role model he tries his best to be there for his family and works hard to support his family and give his kids a better life than Grandpa did for him
1:49 chills and deep cry
I wanna go back to my childhood where I wasn't aware about anything 😭 where I used to Live happily
Melhor música 😢
I miss being happy when life was easy but now people is not like they used to anymore is like everything is disappearing now 😭😭😭😭😭 I just miss the happy days 😢😢😢
Me hace recordar lo que vivímos para estar como estamos aunque no tenga nada que ver
This hurt so silently.........inside💔😩
This song remind of my dad 🥺😭
RIP🥲
I am sorry

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
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 fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise mama's gon' be alright
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)
Bruh
Remember when I listened to this first time, 13 years old having, liked it but no clue what the words meant. Now 33 years old today and words make so much sense..
This song always made me cry and feel up when im down ❤❤❤
EMINEM LOVE❤❤
Reality of every person who always smiles but crying inside 😢
here are the lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
I know sometimes
Things may not always make sense to you right now
But ayy
What'd Daddy always tell you?
Straighten up, little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip
What you cryin' about?
You got me
[Verse 1]
Hailie, I know you miss your Mom, and I know you miss your Dad
When I'm gone, but I'm tryna 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
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, Daddy's witchu in your prayers
No more cryin', 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 confusin' you
Daddy's always on the move, Momma'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 growin' 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 bein'
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'll all just be a dream
[Chorus 1]
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 fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise Momma's gon' be alright
[Verse 2]
Heh, 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 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 savin' 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 hurts so bad it broke your Momma'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 to 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 seein' Daddy on the TV, and Momma didn't like 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'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it firsthand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house just reminiscin'
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, guess you pretty much are, and Daddy's still here
Lainie, 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! Momma's only gone for the moment
[Chorus 2]
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 fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me to, Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
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 that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'ma 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! (Haha)
your welcome :)
It’s been 2 years
Still hearing it!🥲
Wow 1am listening to this is well- deppresing
I just thought abt my childhood to this first time in years, ive lost everything, in a man with no family, no love, everything just feels so cold
I think we're in a ridiculous world that doesn't care whether we exist or not, and doesn't care how we feel. When I was a child I used to think that the universe cared about me, and now my view of the universe has changed and I have become more depressed and apathetic💔.
