Mockingbird - Eminem [Lyrics]

LYRICS:
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
'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
Laney uncles 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
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 were 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 fear 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
'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
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
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 'til 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
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
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sitting 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 birdie's neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)

He's seriously my biggest inspiration. He's the best dad that he never had, he's such a different person outside of his songs, but at the same time not really. It makes my heart so happy. Eminem is a rap god. For real.

[@MehItsDerek]

Holly Wyant honestly he's overrated this is the only song I can listen to because the others aren't good in my opinion. But he still is overrated

[@user-em1dl6jk1j]

The Unknownguy The reason hes rated where he is is because he is LITERALLY on the top of the rap game in Awards and has much respect from other rappers.

[@MehItsDerek]

Mahiru Shinya I know it's just people have rapped faster than him. Busta Rhymes and Joyner Lucas have surpassed his fastest verse. Busta rhymes isn't really the best but he's still faster. Joyner Lucas is better than Eminem in my opinion.

my dad is dead too..... first i lost my dad... and now my dog is sick.... im scared...... i dont want her to die.... i cry when ever i think bad... about her dieing i have known her for 10 years.... i hope she dosnt die....

[@nonbinarybitch5771]

I dont. He's a deadbeat. Never there for me. Got told that my step-dad that raised me wasn't my real dad when I was two. Ofc I didnt process it but I still went to my stepdad and said 'you're not my dad' it broke and tore my stepdads heart. The person that told me was my papa. Now that I'm trying to get ahold of my dead beat dad my papa wants to get mad at me. Like bitch you're the one that told me he wasn't my dad. That's your fault

Marshall Stokes I'm really sorry to hear that stay strong I know how hard it is just stay strong and don't let it drag you down kid!

[@MehItsDerek]

Derrien Popovich I know it's a little late but I honestly can't relate to you. My mom overdosed when I was 12 and my dad was my only role model. I went through depression (out of it now) and my dad had to support me. Since he was an illegal immigrant all he could do was work his ass off in the fields, get criticized because he would be dirty, and get payed below minimum wage. When I turned 18 I went to college and my dad couldn't work anymore. Not that he was old just the work he did made him weak when he hit 39. He recently passed and had no one to look up to. I didn't have a role model I can run to. Now that I have 2 beautiful children and a wife I finally saw what he did. I took it for granted and I didn't get to tell "Him thank you I made it you raised a son and I love you." All I can say is are you sure your dad didn't give anything.
