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)
Jo
Ech weess et heiansdo
Saachen kënnen et net ëmmer Sënn fir Iech maachen
Wéi hey
Wat Papp seet Iech ëmmer?
Riicht op, wéineg Zaldot
Steif op déi iewescht Lip
Wat Dir kräisst?
Du hues mech
[Vers 1]
Hailie, ech weess, Dir vermësst Är Mamm, an ech weess, datt Dir Äert Papp vermësst
Wann ech fort sinn, awer ech probéieren Iech d'Liewen ze ginn dat ech ni hat
Ech kann gesinn datt Dir traureg sidd, och wann Dir laacht, och wann Dir laacht
Ech kann et an Ären Ae gesinn, déif bannen, wëlls du kräischen
Cause Dir hutt Angscht, ech sinn net do, de Papp 'dech an Äre Gebieder
Kee méi cryin ', wëschen se Tréinen, de Papp hei, net méi Nuetsmamm
Mir hunn et mat him zesummegesat, mir hunn et
Lainie, Monni ass verréckt, ass hien net? Jo, awer hien huet dech gär, Meedchen, an Dir wësst et besser
Mir sinn alles wat mir an dëser Welt sinn wann et spullt, wann et dréit
Wann et whirls, wann et zitt, zwee kleng schéi Meedercher
Kuckt no verwëllte, an engem Dämmer, ech weess datt et eis konfus ass
De Papp ass ëmmer op der Beweegung, d'Mamma ass ëmmer op der Neiegkeet
Ech probéieren Iech ze halen, datt Dir dovunner ofgeschalt hutt, awer iergendwéi schéngt et
Déi méi haart, déi ech probéieren dat ze maachen, wat méi et zréckkënnt
All d'Saache wuessen wéi de Papp wéi hie missen gesinn
De Papp wëll net datt Dir gesitt, awer Dir gesitt just sou vill wéi hien huet
Mir hunn et net plangt fir dës Manéier ze sinn, Är Mamm an mir
Awer d'Saache hunn sou schlecht tëscht eis gesinn, ech gesinn eis net jeemools
Zesumme jee erëm, wéi mir fréier war, wa mir Teenager war
Awer dann, natierlech alles geschitt just aus engem Grond
Ech mengen et war ni gemengt ze sinn
Awer et ass just eenthin 'mir hu keng Kontroll iwwer, an dat ass wat d'Schicksal ass
Awer net méi Suergen, raschten Äre Kapp a gitt Schlof
Vläicht een Dag wäerte mir erwächen an dëst wäert alles just en Dram sinn
[Chorus]
Elo Hush, klenge Puppelchen, kräischen net
Alles wäert an der Rei sinn
Steif datt iewescht Lip erop, kleng Fra, ech hunn Iech gesot
De Papp ass hei fir dech an d'Nuecht ze halen
Ech weess datt d'Mamm net hei elo ass a mir wësse net firwat
Mir fille wéi mir eis bannen
Et kann e bësse verréckten, zimmlech Puppelchen
Awer ech verspriechen d'Mama's gon 'an der Rei
[Vers 2]
Heh, et ass witzeg
Ech erënnere mech un ee Joer zréck wann de Papp keng Suen hat
Mamm huet d'Chrëschtdag präsent opgeworf an se ënner dem Bam hänke bliwwen
A sot e puer vun 'Em ware vu mir' Ursaach Papp konnt net kafen
Ech wäert dat Chrëschtdag ni vergiessen, souz ech souz d'ganz Nuecht kräischen
Verursaache Papp gefillt wéi e Bum-See, Papp huet eng Aarbecht
Awer seng Aarbecht war d'Iessen op der Tabell fir Iech a Mamm ze halen
An zu där Zäit, all Haus, déi mir gelieft hunn
Entweder gehackt Gettin 'gebrach an beruff oder op de Block
An Är Mamm war d'Suen fir Iech an engem Jar
Probéiert eng Piggy Bank fir Iech ze starten, sou datt Dir an de College gitt
Bal huet dausend Dollar vun engem gebrach an huet et gebrach an huet et geklaut
An ech weess et verletzt sou schlecht et huet Äre Mamm sengem Häerz gebrach
An et schéngt wéi wann alles just ugefaang ze falen
Mamm a Papp war vill
Sou datt d'Mama zréck op d'Chamlaser an der Appartement zréckgezunn ass, eng Schlofkummer Appartement
A Papp zréck op déi aner Säit vun 8 Meilen op Nacha
An dat ass wann de Papp a Kalifornien mat senger CD sinn
A kennt dr. Dre ... a fléien dech an d'Mama eraus fir mech ze gesinn
Awer de Papp huet missen schaffen, Dir an d'Mama huet mech misse verloossen
Dunn hutt Dir ugefaang de Papp op der Tëlee ze gesinn
An d'Mamm huet et net gär
An du an d'Lainie waren ze jonk fir et ze verstoen
Papa war e Rolling Steen, d'Mamm huet eng Gewunnecht entwéckelt
An et ass alles ze séier geschitt fir entweder ee vun eis fir et ze gräifen
Ech sorry just, Dir waart do an hate se als éischt fonnt
Well alles wat ech jeemools wollt maachen war just Iech houfreg ze maachen
Elo sinn ech smetin 'an dësem eidele Haus just erënnert
Kuckt op Är Puppelchen Fotoen, et huet mech just erausgesicht
Fir ze kucken wéi vill Dir allebéid gewuess ass, ass et bal wéi Dir elo Schwësteren
Wow, roden Dir sidd zimmlech sinn, a Papp ass nach ëmmer hei
Lainie, ech schwätze och och, daddy's nach ëmmer hei
Ech hunn den Seier vun deem, et huet et e Rank derbäi, et ass et net?
Shh! D'Mama ass nëmme fir de Moment fortgaang
[Chorus]
Elo Hush, klenge Puppelchen, kräischen net
Alles wäert an der Rei sinn
Steif datt iewescht Lip erop, kleng Fra, ech hunn Iech gesot
De Papp ass hei fir dech an d'Nuecht ze halen
Ech weess datt d'Mamm net hei elo ass a mir wësse net firwat
Mir fille wéi mir eis bannen
Et kann e bësse verréckten, zimmlech Puppelchen
Awer ech verspriechen d'Mama's gon 'an der Rei
[Outro]
A wann Dir mech frot, daddy's wäert Iech e Mockingbird kafen
Ech ginn Iech d'Welt
Ech kafen en Diamantring fir Iech, ech sangen fir Iech
Ech maachen alles fir Iech fir dech ze gesinn
A wann dat Mockingbird net sangen an dee Rank net blénken
Ech briechen dat Birdie säin Hals
Ech ginn zréck an de Bijoue deen et fir dech verkaaft huet
A maacht him all Caparat iessen, fuck net mam Papp! (Haha)
