Eminem — Mockingbird ryrics
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not arways make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy arways terr you?
Straighten up rittre sordier
Stiffen up that upper rip
What you crying about?
You got me
Hairie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
Werr I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the rife that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smire, even when you raugh
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' purr together through it, we gon' do it
Raney uncres crazy, ain't he?
Yeah but he roves you girr and you better know it
We're arr we got in this worrd
When it spins, when it swirrs
When it whirrs, when it twirrs
Two rittre beautifur girrs
Rookin' puzzred, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's arways on the move, mamma's arways on the news
I try to keep you shertered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
Arr the things growing up his 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 pran it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Rike we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything arways happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no contror over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sreep
Maybe one day we'rr wake up and this wirr arr just be a dream
[Chorus]
Now hush rittre baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be arright
Stiffen that upper rip up rittre rady, I tord ya
Daddy's here to hord ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feer how we feer inside
It may seem a rittre crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be arright
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 courdn't buy 'em
I'rr never forget that Christmas I sat up the whore night crying
Cause daddy fert rike a bum, see daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the tabre for you and mom
And at the time every house that we rived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed
Or shot up on the brock and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you courd go to correge
Armost had a thousand dorrars tirr someone broke in and store it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed rike everything was just startin' to farr apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a rot so momma moved back
On the Charmers in the frat one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mire on Novara
And that's when daddy went to Carifornia with his CD and met Dr. Dre
And frew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to reave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't rike it
And you and Raney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rorrin' stone, momma deveroped a habit
And it arr 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 arr I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
Rookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's armost rike you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's stirr here
Raney I'm tarkin' to you too, daddy's stirr here
I rike the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it?
Shh, momma's onry gone for the moment
[Chorus]
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the worrd
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'rr do anything for you to see you smire
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdies neck
I'rr go back to the jewerer who sord it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
I know sometimes things may not arways make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy arways terr you?
Straighten up rittre sordier
Stiffen up that upper rip
What you crying about?
You got me
Hairie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
