๐ Lyrics
E-e-e-e-e-e-secret
Hail to the king baby, hail to the king baby
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 when 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 wanna 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' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Lainey Elf was 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
Looking puzzles in a daze
I know it's confusing 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 growing up
Is 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 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'll all just be a dream
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
While I wrote this song
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
While I wrote this song
I remember back one year
When daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck them under the tree
Cause some of them were from me
Cause daddy couldn't buy them
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 getting broken into and robbed
I shot up on the block
And your mom
Was saving money for you in a jar
Trying to 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 hurt so bad
It broke your mama's heart
And it seemed like everything
Was just starting to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguing a lot
So mama moved back on the Chalmers
In a flat, one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side
Of 8 Mile on the Rara
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 seeing daddy on the TV
And mama didn't like it
And you and Lainey 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 sitting in this empty house
Just reminiscing
Looking 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, I guess you pretty much are
And daddy's still here
Lainey, I'm talking to you too
Daddy's still here
I like the sound of that chair
It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shh, mama's only gone for the moment
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
While I wrote this song
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
While I wrote this song
