Eminem – Hailie’s Song

Eminem – Hailie’s Song

Yo, I can’t sing – I feel like singing

I want to fuckin sing

Cause I’m happy – yeah, I’m happy, haha!

I got my baby back

Yo, check it out…

Somedays I sit, starin out the window

Watchin this world pass me by

Sometimes I think, there’s nothin to live for

I almost break down and cry

Sometimes I think I’m crazy; I’m crazy, oh so crazy!!

Why am I here? Am I just wastin my time?!

But then I see my baby, suddenly I’m not crazy!!

It all makes sense when I look into her eyes

Cause sometimes it feels like the world’s on my shoulders

Everyone’s leanin on me

Cause sometimes it feels like the world’s almost over

But then she comes back to me

My baby girl, keeps gettin older

I watch her grow up with pride

People make jokes, cause they don’t understand me

They just don’t see my real side

I act like shit don’t phase me; inside it drives me crazy!!

My insecurities could eat me alive

But then I see my baby, suddenly I’m not crazy!!

It all makes sense when I look into her eyes

Man if I could sing, I’d keep singin this song to my daughter

If I could hit the notes, I’d blow somethin as long as my father

to show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got her

God, I’m a daddy, I’m so glad that her mom didn’t

Now you probably get this picture from my public persona

that I’ma pistol packin drug addict who bags on his mama

But I wanna to just take this time out to be perfectly honest

cause there’s a lot of shit I keep bottled that hurts deep inside of my soul

And just know that I grow colder the older I grow

This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold

and this load is like the weight of the world, and I think my neck is breakin

Should I just give up or try to live up to these expectations?

Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself

but I got a wife that’s determined to make my life livin hell

But I handle it well, given the circumstances I’m dealt

So many chances, man, it’s too bad, coulda had someone else

But the years that I’ve wasted is nothin to the tears that I’ve tasted

So here’s what I’m facin – three felonies, six years of probation

I’ve went to jail for this woman, I’ve been to bat for this woman

I’ve taken bats to people’s backs, bent over backwards for this woman

Man, I should have seen it comin, what’d I stick my penis up in?

Wouldn’t have ripped the pre-nup up if I’da seen what she was fuckin

But fuck it, it’s over, there’s no more reason to cry no more

I got my baby, baby the only lady that I adore, Hailie

So sayonara, try tommorrow, nice to know ya

Our baby’s traveled back to the arms of her rightful owner

And suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted

It’s like the greatest gift you can get, the weight has been lifted

And now it don’t feel like the world’s on my shoulders

Everyone’s leanin on me

Cause my baby knows that her daddy’s a soldier

Nothing can take her from me

Wooo! Told you I can’t sing

Oh well, I tried

Hailie, remember when I said, if you ever need anything

Daddy would be right there? Guess what?

Daddy’s here, and I ain’t going nowhere baby

I love you
