Mockingbird...

[Tonita]

Er det noen som kan hjelpe meg å finne teksten til denne sangen?

[Gjest]

Eminem - "Mockingbird"

Album: "Encore" (2004)

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 crying about?

You got me

 

Hailie I know you miss your mom

and I know you miss your dad

Well I'm gone but I'm trying

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 want to cry

Cuz 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' pull together through it,

we gon' do it

Laney uncles crazy, aint 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 confusing you

Daddy's always on the move,

mamma'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 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 plan 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

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 something 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 will 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 momma's gon' be alright

 

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

Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em

I'll never forget that Christmas

I sat up the whole night crying

Cuz 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 getting broke into and robbed

Or shot up on the block

and your mom was saving money

for you in a jar

Tryna start a piggy bank for you

so you could go to college

Almost had a thousand dollars

till someone broke in and stole it

And I know it hurts so bad

it broke your momma's heart

And it seemed like everything

was just startin' to fall apart

Mom and dad was arguin' a lot

so momma moved back

On the 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 momma out to see me

But daddy had to work,

you and momma had to leave me

Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V.

and momma didn't like it

And you and Laney were to young

to understand it

Papa was a rollin' stone,

momma 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 first hand

Cuz all I ever wanted to do

was just make you proud

Now I'm sittin in this empty house,

just reminiscing

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

Laney 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, momma's only gone for the moment

 

[Chorus]

 

And if you ask me too

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

I'mma give you the world

I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

I'mma 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'mma break that birdies neck

I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya

And make him eat every carat

don't f**k with dad (haha)
