Now hush, little baby, don’t you cryEverything’s gonna be alrightStiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told yaDaddy’s here to hold ya through the nightI know mommy’s not here right now, and we don’t know whyWe feel how we feel insideIt may seem a little crazy, pretty babyBut I promise mama’s gon’ be alright
Huh, it’s funnyI remember back one year when daddy had no moneyMommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck ‘em under the treeAnd said some of ‘em were from me, ‘cause daddy couldn’t buy ‘emI’ll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying‘Cause daddy felt like a bum, see, daddy had a jobBut his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time, every house that we lived inEither kept gettin’ broken into and robbedOr shot up on the blockAnd your mom was savin’ money for you in a jarTryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to collegeAlmost had a thousand dollars ‘til someone broke in and stole itAnd I know it hurt so bad, it broke your mama’s heartAnd it seemed like everything was just startin’ to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin’ a lotSo mama moved back on to Chalmers in a flat one-bedroom apartmentAnd dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on NovaraAnd that’s when daddy went to California with his CDAnd met Dr. Dre, and flew you and mama out to see meBut daddy had to work, you and mama had to leave meThen you started seeing daddy on the TV, and mama didn’t like itAnd you and Lainie were too young to understand itPapa was a rolling stone, mama developed a habitAnd it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
