Things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey

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
[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
[Chorus 2]
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)
Da
Znam ponekad
Stvari vam možda ne smiju uvijek imati smisla za vas
Ali hej
Šta ti tata uvijek govori?
Ispravite, mali vojnik
Učvršćen tim gornjom usnom
O čemu plačeš?
Imas me
[VERSE 1]
Hailie, znam da ti nedostaje tvoja mama i znam da ti nedostaje tvoj otac
Kad me nema, ali pokušavam vam dati život koji nikad nisam imao
Vidim da si tužan, čak i kad se smiješ, čak i kad se smiješ
Mogu ga vidjeti u tvojim očima, duboko u sebi želiš da plačeš
Jer se plašiš, nisam tamo, tata ti je pamet 'u svojim molitvama
Nema više plača, obrišite ih suze, tata je ovdje, nema više noćnih mora
Mi se "povučemo kroz to, mi idemo"
Lainie, ujak je lud, zar ne? Da, ali on te voli, devojko, i bolje da znaš
Svi smo mi u ovom svijetu kad se okrene, kad se vrtjeti
Kad se vrtje, kad se iskače, dvije male lijepe djevojke
Gledajući zbunjeno, u daze, znam da te zbunira
Tata je uvijek u pokretu, mama je uvijek na vijestima
Trudim se da vas zaklonim od toga, ali nekako se čini
Teže što pokušavam to učiniti, to mi se više bavi
Sve stvari koje raste kao tata da je morao vidjeti
Tata ne želi da vidite, ali vidite toliko koliko je i on
Nismo planirali da budemo ovako, tvoja majka i ja
Ali stvari su se toliko loše postale između nas, ne vidim nas ikad
Zajedno ikad opet, kao nekada smo bili kad smo bili tinejdžeri
Ali onda, naravno, sve se uvijek događa s razlogom
Valjda to nikada nije trebalo biti
Ali to samo nešto nemamo kontroliramo, i to je ono što je sudbina
Ali nema više briga, odmori glavu i idi spavati
Možda ćemo se jednog dana probuditi i ovo će svi biti samo san
[Chorus 1]
Sad Hush, malo dušo, ne plačeš
Sve će biti uredu
Učvršćen tim gornjim usnama, mala dama, rekla sam ti
Tata je ovdje da te drži kroz noć
Znam da mama trenutno nije ovdje i ne znamo zašto
Osjećamo kako se osjećamo iznutra
Možda se čini malo ludom, lijepom bebom
Ali obećavam mamu gon 'biti u redu
[VERSE 2]
Heh, smiješno je
Sjećam se da sam se nalazio godinu dana kad tata nije imao novca
Mama je zamotala božićne poklone i zaglavili su ih ispod stabla
I rekao da su neki od njih bili iz mene, jer tata nije mogao kupiti ih
Nikad neću zaboraviti taj Božić, sjeo sam cijelu noć plačući
Jer je tata osjećao kao bezumnik, tata je imao posao
Ali njegov posao je bio da zadrži hranu na stolu za vas i mamu
I u to vrijeme svaka kuća u kojoj smo živjeli
Ili se čuvao da se prekrši i opljačkani ili pucaju na blok
A tvoja mama je spasila novac za tebe u tegli
Pokušaj pokrenuti svinjski banku za vas, pa biste mogli ići na fakultet
Skoro da je imao hiljadu dolara, dok je neko ne probio i ukrao ga
I znam da je boli tako loše, slomilo je srce tvoje mame
I činilo se kao da je sve samo počelo da se raspadne
Mama i tata su se jako svađali
Pa se mama vratila na Chalmers u stanu, jednosoban stan
A tata se vratio na drugu stranu od 8 milja na Novaru
I tada je tata otišao u Kaliforniju sa svojim CD-om
I upoznali dr. Drea i leteli i mami da me vide
Ali tata je morao da radi, ti i mama su me morali napustiti
Tada ste počeli vidjeti tatu na TV-u
A mama se nije svidela
A ti i Lainie bili smo premladi da bismo ga razumjeli
Tata je bio kotrljajući kamen, mama je razvila naviku
I sve se dogodilo prebrzo za jednog od nas da ga zgrabimo
Žao mi je što ste bili tamo i morali da budete iz prve ruke
Jer sve što sam ikad želio je samo učiniti da se ponosite
Sad se sjedim u ovoj praznoj kući samo podsjećam
Gledajući svojim bebama, to me samo izlazi
Da biste vidjeli koliko ste oboje odrasli, gotovo kao da ste sestre sada
Wow, pretpostavljam da si poprilično, i tata je još uvijek ovdje
Lainie, pričam i tebi, tata je još uvijek ovdje
Sviđa mi se zvuk toga, da, to ima prsten, zar ne?
Shh! Mama je samo za sada otišla
[Chorus 1]
Sad Hush, malo dušo, ne plačeš
Sve će biti uredu
Učvršćen tim gornjim usnama, mala dama, rekla sam ti
Tata je ovdje da te drži kroz noć
Znam da mama trenutno nije ovdje i ne znamo zašto
Osjećamo kako se osjećamo iznutra
Možda se čini malo ludom, lijepom bebom
Ali obećavam mamu gon 'biti u redu
[Chorus 2]
A ako me pitate, tata će vam kupiti podrugljivo
Dajem ti svijet
Kupim dijamantni prsten za vas, pjevam za vas
Učinit ću sve za tebe da te vidim kako se smiješ
I ako se taj podrugljivo ne pjeva i taj prsten ne blista
Pakiram taj ptičiji vrat
Vratit ću se na nakit koji ga je prodao
I učini ga da pojede svaki karat, ne zajebavaj se sa tatom! (Haha)
