im also sobbing, but i do have a father, this song helped me get thru some painfull shit, and every time i listen to it its like a release of my feelings
My dad always sang this song when I was troubled as a little girl. It made me feel sad but also amazing. This song has been with me for basically all my life, and I love it.
I remember I was still in school when this song came out... My friend was a hugh Eminem fan and he made me hear it, I didn't knew English that well so the lyrics I couldn't catch them... After all these years traveling from countries to counties leaving my family back at home this lyrics hits different... Time passes, those days gone... My friend died in a car crash on valentine's day right after their anniversary... This song brought back all those memories I forgot to revisit in such a long time...
@@guestplaylist9177 ngl, English is not my first language and Rap was new to me so I didn't understood the lyrics... but after growing up these lyrics speaks to me... especially after I left my family and moved out here all alone.
I almost started crying just now, usually I don't cry to this song I only listen to it when I'm doing homework or something but I don't know something about sitting still and just focusing on the lyrics is a whole new level
Daddy and mommy issues are shaking in their boots rn 😔 I had to raise myself and this song just makes me think about all the adults who truly raised me. The teachers, my friends parents, tutors and even random strangers.
listening to this song makes me think of what my dad would have been like, but since he left me and my mom, which my mom still wont tell me why, so. i always imagine this would have been my dad singing this to me, but no its not. im now 14, turning 15, growing up without a dad in a poor environment was my childhood, but this song always gave me comfort when i heard it on the radio. i still cry to this day when i hear this.
I love Mockingbird, he is showing his love for his daughters in music form. He went way over just to make his daughters happy, what makes me even happier is when he tells it in storyform without rhyming showing that this song was really made for her...not for fame or pity
I've always loved this song and Hailey is so lucky to have a dad to always be there for her everytime I listen to this, I wish my dad was like this but unfortunately he wasn't and left us. But whenever I listen to this, this reminds me of my grandpa always being there for me and my brother while my mom and dad was in Mexico for couple months, years so whenever, or wherever I'll always dedicate this song to my grandpa Yeye, my real father 💗
ah, I cannot get through this song fully without breaking into tears. My dad says that everytime he hears this song it reminds him of me. me and him don't have the best relationship anymore and it genuinely hurts. I recently saw a photo of us together, a happy and healthy relationship, but now it's just, shit. I would love to know how it was before my mom left, but unfortunately, I won't ever know.
Sometimes i wish my dad would be still here for me, but he made me hate him with my whole heart, he was an alcoholic and very abusive.. we left when i was 7 and i saw him a year ago, in a bus, he was looking at me like a psychopath. He tried to buy me with gifts, and if i would have had a gun that moment i would have shot him dead without a second doubt. And now i have understood that a great mother is all you actually need, im very grateful for mine and how she tries her best to make her kids happy❤️
growing up hearing eminem my mum related to love the way u lie by eminem very meaningful piece and so is this very touching and hits places where emotional cannot fit the feeling.
See, my biggest flex is that my mom influenced me on rap from Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Waka Flocka Flame, Wiz khalifa, and all the others. My dad influenced me on rock and metal like Asking Alexandria, Nirvana, Deftones, MCR, Metallica, and the architects. So hearing someone who also grew up with a family listening to Eminem all the time and rap, it makes me so so happy 😭😭
This song reminds ME of my whole life, this song makes me cry everyday because it kinda relates to my life. When I was a little girl my family didn't care about me because I was the oldest they only cared about my younger brother. And my dad, my mom and my brother went on vacation without me and I listen to this song everyday because my grandfather used to sing me this everytime when I was about to go to bed. I love this song! It makes me cry and also makes me happy and sad. But thank you Eminem for writing this song.
this is my fav song ever and i listen to it everyday nonstop bc i love it sm and i hope that this comment gets noticed by slim shady himself love u eminem!!!
Even tho I don't have family problems, I still listen to this song while I am having meltdowns and think about the people who do, and I just feel really bad for them :(
My father passed away when I was 3 years old over the past 13 years my mother did not make me feel lost and gave me everything she could do but when I became a young man and saw how my friends were joking and talking to their father I felt it
I don’t know if a song about barely having enough money to put food on the table and sad you couldn’t give your kids a better life is the best for losing a volleyball game but you do you at the end of the day
Eminem has been my idol for I don’t know how long I have been going through a phase for about 3 years listening to the same song for hours a day. @Eminem I had an upbringing like he did aswell I listen to his songs about 3-7 hours a day during school and when i am able to
This song reminds me of my dad he always told me that in this world you don’t always get want u want sometimes you have to work for what I wish he was still here

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
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 them 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 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
'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 starting to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguing a lot
So mama moved back on the Chalmers in 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 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 first hand
'Cause 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
Lainie 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
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 gonna 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 birdy's neck
I'll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat
Don't fuck with dad, haha
