Eminem - Mockingbird

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 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 gonna pull together through it, we gonna do it
Lainnie uncle's 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 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 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 upperlip 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 when you and 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 broken into and robbed
Or 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 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
Onto Chalmers in a 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 Lainnie 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 triks 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
Lainnie 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'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
and he'd gimme every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)

Ptica rugalica

Da
Znam da ti neke stvari nekad nemaju smisla
Ali hej, što ti tata uvek kaže?
Uspravi se, mali vojniče
Učvrsti gornju usnicu
Zašto plačeš?
Imaš mene

Hejli, znam da ti nedostaju mama i tata
Nisam tu, ali pokušavam ti priuštiti život koji nikad nisam imao
Vidim da si tužna, čak i kad se smešiš i kad se smeješ
Vidim ti to u očima, duboko u sebi želiš da plačeš
Jer se bojiš, jer nisam tu
Tata je s tobom u tvojim molitvama
Ne plači više, obriši suze
Tata je tu, nema više noćnih mora
Zajedno ćemo da prođemo, uspećemo
Lejni, ujka je lud, zar ne?
Da, ali voli te, devojčice, i bolje ti je da to znaš
Mi smo sve što imamo na ovome svetu
Kad se vrti, kad se kovitla
Kad se okreće, kada kruži
Dve prekrasne male devojčice
Izgledaju zbunjeno, omamljeno
Znam da vas to zbunjuje
Tata je uvek u pokretu, a mama na vestima
Pokušavam da vas zaštitim od toga, ali nekako izgleda
Što see više trudim, to me više napadaju
Sve stvari koje je tata video kad je bio mali,
Nije želeo da vidite, ali videle ste jednako kao i on
Vaša majka i ja nismo ovako planirali
Ali stvari su postale loše između nas
U budućnosti nas nikad više ne vidim zajedno
Kao što smo bili kad smo bili tinejdžeri
Ali, naravno, sve se uvek događa s razlogom
Izgleda da nam nije bilo suđeno
Ali postoji nešto što ne možemo da kontrolišemo, a to je sudbina
Ali ne brinite više, odmorite i pođite da spavate
Možda se jednom probudimo i shvatimo da je ovo bio samo san

Refren:
Sada šuti, bebice, i ne plači
Sve će biti u redu
Ukoči gornju usnicu, mala damo, rekao sam ti
Tata je tu da te čuva u noći
Znamo da mama sada nije tu, a ne znamo zašto
Unutra osećamo ono što osećamo
Možda zvuči malo ludo, lepa bebice,
Ali obećavam da će mama biti dobro

Smešno je
Sećam se kad nismo imali para
Mama je zamotala božićne darove
I stavila ih ispod stabla i rekla da su neki od mene
Jer tata nije mogao da ih kupi
Nikad neću da zaboravim taj Božić, celu sam noć prosedao plačući
Jer tata se osećao kao kreten, vidiš, tata je imao posao
Ali njegov posao je bio da donosi na stol hranu za tebe i mamu
I za to vreme svaka kuća u kojoj smo živeli
Ostala je ili porušena ili opljačkana
Ili propucana, a vaša mama je čuvala pare za tebe u vrču
Pokušala je da uštedi lovu da možeš na faks
Imala je skoro hiljadu dolara dok neko nije provalio i ukrao
I to je boljelo toliko da joj je slomilo srce
Sve je izgledalo kao da će se raspasti
Mama i tata su se svađali pa se mama vratila
U jednosobni stan u Chalmersu
A tata se vratio na drugu stranu 8 Milea, u Novaru
I tada sam pošao u Kaliforniju sa svojim CD-om i upoznao Dr. Drea
I pozvao mamu i tebe da me vidite
Ali tata je morao da radi, pa ste mama i ti morale da me napustite
Pa ste viđale tatu na televiziji, mami se to nije sviđalo
A ti i Lejni bile ste premale da razumete
Tata je bio zvezda, mama je razvila naviku
I to se prebrzo dogodilo za nas oboje
Žao mi je što si bila tu i morala da svedočiš iz prve ruke
Jer sve što sam uvek želio je da te učinim ponosnom
Sad sedim u praznoj kući i podsećam se
Gledam vaše slike iz detinjstva, izluđuje me
Što vidim koliko ste narasle, sada ste skoro sestre
Vau, izgleda da ustvari i jeste, a tata je još uvek tu
Sviđa mi se kako to zvuči, da,
Pristaje, zar ne?
Ššš, mama je nestala samo za trenutak

Refren

A ako me pitaš
Kupiće ti tata pticu rugalicu
Daću ti svet
Kupiću ti dijamantni prsten
Pevaću ti
Učiniću sve da te vidim kako se smešiš
A ako prica rugalica ne peva, a prsten ne sjaji,
Slomiću ptici vrat
I otiću do draguljara koji mi je prodao prsten
Daće mi svaki karat, neće da se zajebava s tatom (haha)
