But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me

baigao 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

ll 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 happ ens 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
