funny I remember back one year when had no money Mommy wrapped the presents up And 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me Cause couldn't buy 'em I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the night crying Cause daddy felt like a bum, see had a job But his job was to keep the food on the for you and mom And at the time every house that we in Either kept getting into and robbed Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving for you in a jar Tryna start a piggy for you so you could go to college Almost had a dollars till someone broke in and stole it And I know it so bad it broke your momma's heart And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so moved back On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom And dad moved to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara And when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre And flew you and out to see me But had to work, you and momma had to leave me Then you started seeing on the T.V. and momma didn't like it And you and Laney were to young to it Papa was a stone, momma developed a habit And it all happened too for either one of us to grab it I'm just you were there and had to witness it first hand Cause all I ever wanted to do was make you proud Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just me out To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're now Wow, you pretty much are and daddy's still here I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here I the sound of that, yeah It's got a ring to it it? Shh, momma's only for the moment
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a give you the world I'mma buy a diamond for you sing for you I'll do anything for you to see you And if mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'mma break that neck I'll go back to the who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat don't fuck dad (ha ha)
