Eminem | 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]
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]
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
[Outro]
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)
Ye you
Batzuetan badakit
Baliteke gauzak ez izatea beti zentzurik oraintxe bertan
Baina jeje
Aitak beti esaten dizu?
Zuzendu, soldadu txikia
Gogortu goiko ezpain hori
Zertan ari zara negar egiten?
Ni lortu nauzu
[1. bertsoa]
Hailie, badakit zure ama faltan botatzen duzula, eta badakit zure aita faltan botatzen duzula
Desagertuta nagoenean, baina inoiz ez nuen bizitza ematen saiatzen ari naiz
Triste zaudela ikus dezaket, irribarre egitean ere, barre egiten duzunean ere
Zure begietan ikus dezaket, negar egin nahi duzula
Beldurra zarela, ez naiz hor, aita zure otoitzetan
Ez gehiago negar egin, garbitu malkoak, aitatxo hemen, ez amesgaizto gehiago
Elkarrekin tiraka gaude, guk egingo dugu
Lainie, osaba zoroa, ez al da? Bai, baina maite zaitu, neska eta hobeto dakizu
Mundu honetan lortu ginen guztiak biraka ari direnean
Zurrunbiltzen denean, biribiltzen denean, bi neska eder bi
Lookin 'txundituta, iluntasunean, badakit zuk bezala
Aitak beti mugitzen ari da, Amak beti albisteetan
Hortik babesten zaitudala saiatzen naiz, baina nolabait dirudienez
Orduan eta zailagoa da hori egiten saiatzea, orduan eta atzera egin nauen
Ikusi behar zuen aitatxo gisa hazten diren gauza guztiak
Aitak ez zaitu ikusi nahi, baina berak bezainbeste ikusten duzu
Ez genuen horrela izan, zure ama eta ni
Baina gauzak hain txarrak izan dira gure artean, ez zaizkigu inoiz ikusten
Elkarrekin berriro, nerabeak ginenean ohi gintuen bezala
Baina orduan, noski, dena gertatzen da beti arrazoi batengatik
Uste dut ez zela inoiz izan nahi
Baina zerbait besterik ez da kontrolik ez dugula, eta hori da patua
Baina kezka gehiago ez, burua atseden hartu eta lo egitera joan
Agian egunen batean esnatuko gara eta hau guztia amets bat izango da
[Korua]
Orain hush, haurtxo txikia, ez duzu negarrik egiten
Dena ondo joango da
Gogoratu goiko ezpain hori, andre txikia, esan dizut
Aita da hemen gauean zehar
Badakit Mommy ez dela oraintxe bertan eta ez dakigu zergatik
Barruan nola sentitzen garen sentitzen dugu
Badirudi haurtxo zoragarria, polita
Baina amaren gonaren agintzen dut
[2. bertsoa]
Heh, dibertigarria da
Urtebete gogoratzen dut aitatxoak dirurik ez zuenean
Mami bildutako Gabonetako opariak eta zuhaitz azpian itsatsi dira
Eta esan zien "niregandik" esan zidaten aitatxoak ezin zuela erosi
Ez dut inoiz ahaztuko Gabonak, gau osoan eseri nintzen negarrez
Kausa aitatxo batek ikustea bezala sentitu zuen, Aitak lana zuen
Baina bere lana janaria mahai gainean mantentzea zen zuretzat eta ama
Eta garai hartan, bizi ginen etxe guztietan
Bai mantendu eta blokeatu edo lapurtu blokean
Eta zure amak ontzian dirua izan zuen
Saiatu zuretzako piggy banku bat hasteko unibertsitatera joan zaitezke
Ia mila dolar izan zituen norbaitek hautsi eta lapurtu zuen
Eta badakit min handia duela zure amaren bihotza apurtu duela
Eta dena desagertuta zegoela zirudien
Ama eta aita asko argumentua zen
Beraz, amak berriro ere chalmers-era eraman zuen logela bakarreko apartamentuan
Eta aita 8 kilometroko beste aldera itzuli zen Novara-n
Eta hori da aita Kaliforniara joan zen bere CDarekin
Eta ezagutu zuen Dre doktorea, eta ihes egin zidan ikustera
Baina Aitak lan egin behar izan zuen, zuk eta Mamak utzi behar izan zidaten
Ondoren, telebistan ikusten hasi zinen
Eta ama ez zitzaien gustatu
Eta zu eta Lainie gazteegiak ziren ulertzeko
Papa harri biribila zen, Mamak ohitura bat garatu zuen
Eta oso azkar gertatu zen gutako bat hartzea
Barkatu bakarrik egon zinen eta lekuko izan behar izan duzu
Egin nahi nuen guztia harro sentiaraztea besterik ez zen
Orain, etxe huts honetan sittin 'naiz reminiscin'
Begiratu zure haurtxoaren argazkietan, kanpora ateratzen nau
Biak zenbat hazi diren ikusteko, orain arrebak zaren bezala da
Wow, asmatu nahiko zarela, eta aita oraindik hemen
Lainie, zu ere zurekin hitz egiten ari naiz, Aitak hemen jarraitzen du
Horren soinua gustatzen zait, bai, eraztuna dauka, ezta?
Shh! Mama uneoro bakarrik joan da
[Korua]
Orain hush, haurtxo txikia, ez duzu negarrik egiten
Dena ondo joango da
Gogoratu goiko ezpain hori, andre txikia, esan dizut
Aita da hemen gauean zehar
Badakit Mommy ez dela oraintxe bertan eta ez dakigu zergatik
Barruan nola sentitzen garen sentitzen dugu
Badirudi haurtxo zoragarria, polita
Baina amaren gonaren agintzen dut
[Outro]
Eta galdetzen badidazu, Daddyk erosteko mokelbird
Mundua ematen dizut
Zuretzako diamante eraztuna erosten ari naiz, zuretzako abesten naiz
Zerbait egingo dut irribarre egiteko
Eta maketa-hegaztiak ez badu abesten eta eraztun horrek ez du distira egiten
Hegaztien lepoa apurtzen ari naiz
Itzuliko naiz saltzen duen bitxigileari
Eta karata bakoitza jan, ez joatearekin! (Jaja)
