Duke Nukem Meets Metal

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 want to 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 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 confusing you
 Daddy's always on the move, mamma'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 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 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 feel how we feel inside
 It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
 But I promise mama'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 '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 getting broken into and robbed
 Or shot up on the block and your mom was SAVING 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 hurt so bad it broke your mamma'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 the 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 seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
 And you and Lainnie were too young to understand it
 Papa was a rollin' 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 first hand
 'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
 Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
 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
 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)
