[00:55.69]Mamma's always on the news [00:57.11]I try to keep you sheltered from it [00:58.55]But somehow it seems [00:59.46]The harder that I try to do that [01:01.04]The more it backfires on me [01:02.58]All the things growing up his daddy [01:04.17]That he had to see [01:05.29]Daddy don't want you to see [01:06.36]But you see just as much as he did [01:07.97]We did not plan it to be this way [01:09.87]Your mother and me [01:10.71]But things have got so bad between us [01:12.24]I don't see us ever being together ever again [01:15.02]Like we used to be when we was teenagers [01:17.02]But then of course everything always happens for a reason [01:20.41]I guess it was never meant to be [01:21.77]But it's just something we have no control [01:23.60]Over and that's what destiny is [01:24.97] [01:25.79]But no more worries [01:26.47]Rest your head and go to sleep [01:28.09]Maybe one day we'll wake up [01:29.17]And this will all just be a dream [01:30.90]Now hush little baby don't you cry [01:33.56]Everything's gonna be alright [01:35.56]Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told yea [01:38.96]Daddy's here to hold yea through the night [01:41.34]I know mommy's not here right now and [01:43.76]We don't know why [01:45.10]We fear how we feel inside [01:46.96]It may seem a little crazy pretty baby [01:49.85]But I promise momma's gon' be alright [01:52.41] [01:53.03]It's funny [01:53.97]I remember back one year [01:55.27]When daddy had no money [01:56.32]Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up [01:57.85]And stuck em under the tree [01:59.10]And said some of 'em were from me [02:00.62]'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em [02:02.24]I'll never forget that Christmas [02:03.34]I sat up the whole night crying [02:04.72]'Cause daddy felt like a bum [02:06.18]See daddy had a job [02:07.47]But his job was to keep the food [02:08.82]On the table for you and mom [02:10.47]And at the time every house that we lived in [02:12.87]Either kept getting broke into and robbed [02:14.82]Or shot up on the block and your mom [02:17.05]Was saving money [02:17.83]For you in a jar [02:19.10]Tryna start a piggy bank for you [02:20.31]So you could go to college [02:21.81]Almost had a thousand dollars [02:23.25]Till someone broke in and stole it [02:25.08]And I know it hurt so bad [02:26.18]It broke your momma's heart [02:27.60]And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall [02:29.66]Apart [02:30.35]Mom and dad was arguin' a lot [02:32.16]So momma moved back [02:33.44]On the chalmers in the flat [02:34.84]One bedroom apartment [02:35.93]And dad moved back to the other side [02:37.56]Of 8 mile on novara [02:39.12]And that's when daddy went to California with his cd [02:41.48]And met dr dre [02:42.89]And flew you and momma out to see me [02:44.77]But daddy had to work [02:46.00]You and momma had to leave me [02:47.18]Then you started seeing daddy on the t v [02:49.65]And momma didn't like it [02:50.99]And you and laney were too young to understand it [02:53.47]Papa was a rollin' stone momma developed a habit [02:56.22]And it all happened too fast [02:57.70]For either one of us to grab it [02:59.21]I'm just sorry you were there and [03:00.59]Had to witness it first hand [03:01.88]'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make [03:03.83]You proud [03:04.61]Now I'm sittin' in this empty house just reminiscing [03:07.24]Lookin' at your baby pictures it just trips me out [03:09.85]To see how much you both have grown [03:11.32]It's almost like you're sisters now [03:12.76] [03:13.36]Wow [03:14.02]Guess you
