Poem- Eminem -Mockingbird

Yeah
I know sometimes, things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what'd 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
Well, 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
Laney, uncle's 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 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 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 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 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 broke 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, 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
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 too 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 sittin' 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'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you I'ma 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'ma break that bird's neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat
Don't fuck with dad (haha)

When I'm Gone

Yeah
It's my life
But all in words I guess

Have you ever loved someone so much you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they are your heart
And you know you are their armour
And you will destroy anyone who will try to harm her
But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you
What happens when you become the main source of her pain
"Daddy look what I made?"
"Dad's gotta go catch a plane"
"Daddy where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she?"
I don't know, go play, Hailie baby your daddy's busy.
Daddy's writin' this song, this song ain't gon' write itself
I give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song, and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother who's a spittin' image of her
That's slim shady, yeah baby slim shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight, Shady's rock-a-by baby

Refrão (2x):
And when I'm gone, just carry on don't mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm lookin' down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain, just smile back

I keep havin' this dream – I'm pushin' Hailie on the swings she keeps screamin'
She don't want me to sing, "You're makin mommy cry, why, why's momy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leavin' no more,
"Daddy you're lying,
You always say that, you always say this is the last time,
but you ain't leavin' no more, Daddy you're mine!"
She's piling boxes infront of the door tryin' to block it,
"Daddy please daddy don't leave daddy no, stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket, it's got a picture,
"This'll keep you safe daddy, take it with you"
I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror,
these stinkin' walls must be talkin coz man I can hear ‘em
They sayin you got one more chance to do right, and it's tonight,
Now go out there and show ‘em that you love ‘em ‘fore its too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door it turns to a stage, they're gone
And the spotlight is on and I'm singin...

Refrão

Sixty thousand people, all jumpin' out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow, "and thank you all for comin' out"
They're screamin so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein',
"Daddy it's me! Help mummy her wrists are bleedin'"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?!
"I followed you daddy, you told me that you wern't leavin
You lied to me dad, and now you make mommy sad
And I bought you this coin
It says ‘number 1 dad', that's all I wanted
I just wanna give you this coin
I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin"
But baby wait-
"its too late dad, you made your choice.
Now go out there and show ‘em you love ‘em more than us
That's what they want
They want you Marshall, they keep
screamin your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep
Just take another pill, yeah i bet ya you will
You rap about it. Yeah word, ke-keep it real"
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it,
put it to my brain, scream ‘Die Shady!' and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes,
The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin',
There's birds singin', it's spring and
Hailie's out side swingin'
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her
Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister, almost as if to say-
