Eminem - Mockingbird

Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment

Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad

I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why

And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara

But I promise mama's gon' be alright

It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine

And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre

Lainie Uncle's crazy, ain't he?

But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

Everything's gonna be alright

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud

Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya

Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing

It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby

But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

We feel how we feel inside

But then of course everything always happens for a reason

And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)

That papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit

It's got a ring to it don't it?

Now hush little baby, don't you cry

The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
