Remix to Eminem’s Mockingbird
Things probably don’t make any sense to you right now
what has daddy taught you?
You guys are soldiers
Stiffen up your lip
what are you hurting for?
You got your momma now, I won’t let you hit the dirt
Bennie I know how bad you hurt and I know you miss your dad
Well I'm alone in this but I’m gonna give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, when you pretend to live a life that you never want to have
I can see it in your eyes, you change your face and hair but it’s all lies
I know you’re scared because of the people that surround you
Mommas here but I can’t help what you feel inside
No more crying, wipe them tears
Mommas here so no more nightmares
I’m gonna get that house you watch me, I can do it
Your brother Walter’s crazy, aint he?
But he loves you girl and you know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
You two are the most beautiful kids
Looking puzzled at me like I have the answer
I know it's confusing you
You have all that’s school work but there are other things to do
I try to keep you sheltered from this racism, but it’s harder than it seems
The more I try to keep you safe the harder it is on me
You try so hard to fix these things that lay with your family and your race
I don’t want you to worry about it baby, just keep a strong face
I will support you in how you feel with those men,
Things will always change and nothing will ever stay the same
Just be careful of the man you choose, you cannot choose again
It’s either George or Joe, baby I will support anything you choose.
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
If you lose both in this process then I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
Please don’t worry, just lay your head down and sleep
I hope that after this we can wake up and it find out that this was all just a dream
Now my children, please don’t worry
Everything's gonna be alright
Keep a strong hold on your dreams, don’t let them fade
Mommas gonna hold you through the night
