Underground

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
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 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 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


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 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 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 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



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 make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)

21.dina-odrasto je klinac,
skola nije knjiga,
pa ga odgaja sredina,
raste bez matorih jer je cale roknuo kevu,
solo luta na vetru,evo vec petu...
Odrasto ko kerovi sto vuku se po asfaltu,
kada zarezi nebo,oblaci zaplacu,
probudi se zivot,bar na trenutak,
ali danima luta bez osecanja ko lutka,
bez puta,bezbroj puta,bez kaputa na kisi,
on i dim cigarete saputnici...
Sa sobom vuce staru svesku ko zaboravljeni pesnik,
u nocima sedi piskara,ulica svetli,
ljudi ga znaju,kerovi ga vole,
jos iz onog perioda kad je bezo iz skole.
Ambicije odlaze kako mu odmice vreme,
zivi uspomene,al ne zbog sebe,
ne prica mnogo,pa ljudi nemogu da shvate,
sta se krije iza pogleda zamrznute vatre,
jedina stvar sto budi vatru u ocima,
seta s njim stazom plocnika,
to je osveta...


Ref.x2
Sta boli vise istina il laz,
kraj nije kraj ti si vise nego slab,
tumaras sam dan je noc,noc je dan,a
gde ces tad,gde ces tad...


Probao je da zaboravi,nije da nije,
pa je pobaco slike da se ne seca vise,
ali mrtvo srce pamti zbog cega je mrtvo,
i to srce ne zanima laz o istini pred sudom,
srce ceka strpljivo,bas kao paucina,
jer postoji nesto sto ne pokriva kaucija,
ostavljen u nadi da ne moze da vaskrsne,
uspe na jedan dan nema vremena za prastanje,
sada,uradi sve sto si planirao u grobu,
sto brze,al ovo srce voli nocu,
sprema potrebno za izvrsenje plana,
u toku dana,okey,aa,spreman je sada,
pistolj ukraden u sarzer repertira,
ocev lik u ocima dusa se odledila,
igranje srca,u oku suza,
vrucina tela,najzad dise ova dusa.
Slike detinjstva po glavi se vrzmaju,
ceo zivot u trenu predstavljen u utoku,
taj trik oci,pogled pravo u oci,
pogled sto je ubio dva zivota u noci,
jedan na licu mesta,drugi pustio da krvari,
da se muci,bez nade bilo sta da uradi,
pitao bi mnogo al ne zeli odgovor,
jer ovo mrtvo srce,zna i vise nego dovoljno...


Sada opet sam,ispod ulicne svetiljke,
drzi svesku i utoku,beton hladan,ne dise,
suza se sliva niz umornu kozu,
nastavlja da pise,ocekuje da dodju,
srece klinca iz kraja kako ovuda tumara,
poziva ga da sedne,i dalje piskara,
klinac ulasen i ako nije mnogo mladji,
utoka u rukama ga jezivo plasi.
Sada cuju zvuk sirene,
u daljini odzvanja,
nema povratka,klincu svesku poklanja...
(Bezi,bezi)

Pokriva me tama,telo znoji se od straha,
cujem metak,vidim coveka kako pada,
trcim tresem se,nose me kisa i vetar,
u ruci nosim svesku sad vec mrtvog coveka,
otvaram svesku da dozivim bolnu pricu,
ceka me naslov "JA U TRECEM LICU",
telo vrelo kao vulkan,kvasi ga kisa,
jedva drzi sebe,ali pocinje da cita...

"21.dina-odrasto je klinac,

Lord please forgive me for what I do
For I know not what I've done


Father please forgive me for I know not what I do
I just never had the chance to ever meet you
Therefore I did not know that I would grow to be
My mother's evil seeding do these evil deeds

Momma had a baby and it's head popped off
(head popped off, head popped off, head popped off, head popped off, head popped off)
My momma don't want me, the next thing I know I'm gettin' dropped off
(gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off)
Ring ring ring, on the door bell of the next door neighbors on their front porch
(their front porch, their front porch, their front porch, their front porch)
But they didn't want me neither so they left me on someone else's lawn
(else's lawn, else's lawn, else's lawn)
Till somebody finally took me in, my great aunt, uncle Edna 'n Charles
(Edna 'n Charles, Edna 'n Charles, Edna 'n Charles, Edna 'n Charles)
They were the ones who were left in charge
My elementary they gang up on me and sang this song
(sang this song, sang this song, sang this song, sang this song)
It went a little something like Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Debbie had a Satan spawn, Satan spawn
Momma why do they keep saying this I just don't understand, understand
And by the way, where's my dad?



Predominantly, predominantly, everything's always predominantly
Predominantly white, predominantly black
Well, what about me, where does that leave me
Well I guess that I'm between predominantly both of 'em
I think if I hear that fuckin' word again I'mma scream
While I'm projectile vomiting, what do I look like, a comedian to you?
Do you think that I'm kidding?
What do I look like some kind of idi-wait a minute, shit, don't answer that
Why am I so misunderstood?
Why do I go through so much bullshit, it sucks bullshit, it's tush mull bish
Woe is me, there goes poor Marshall again
Whining about his millions and his mansion and his sorrow he's always drownin' in
And the dad that he never had, and how his childhood was so bad
And how his mom was a dope addict, and his ex-wife how they go at it
Man I'd hate to have it, as bad as that Mr. Mather's claims he had it
I can't imagine it, that little rich poor white bastard
Needs to take some of that cash out the bank and take a bath in it
Man if I only had half of it.
If you only knew the half of it



Evil deeds, while I plant these evil seeds
Please release me from these deamons
I never had any of this shit planned ma, please believe
I don't wanna be Satan's spawn, never got the chance to say I'm sorry
Now look at all the pain I caused
Dear Santa Clause, why you not comin' this year again
What did I do that was so bad to deserve this
Everything could have been so perfect
But life ain't a fairytale, I'm about to be hoist up in the air
Forty feet below me, there's people everywhere
I don't even know what it feel like, they know me cause I'm in this ferris wheel
And all i wanna do is go to the mall and take hailie on the carousel
Without this crowd everywhere I go, but life is like a merry-go-round
Here we go now, doe see doe now, curtains up, the show must go now
Ring around the rosie, the shows over, you can all go home now
But the curtain just don't close for me, this ain't how fame is supposed to be
Where's the switch I could just turn off and on, this ain't what I chose to be
So please god, give me the strength to have what it takes to carry on
Till I pass 50 back the baton, the camera's on, my soul is gone
