Mockingbird
INTRO:
I know sometimes, things may not make sense to you right now
But hey, what brothers always tell you?
Straighten up snackwrap – stiffen up that upper lip
What you cryin about? Brothers will be home soon
VERSE 01:
IE I know you miss brothers, and I'm really missin you bad
I'm gone, but mom is tryin to give you the best life you've ever had
Mom tells me that your sad, even when you smile, even you laugh
She can see it in those eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Cause I know that your scared, I ain't there, Ima be in those prayers
Don't be cryin, wipe them tears, I gonna be here, no more nightmares
We can pull together through it, we goin' do it
Joc, Momma's crazy ain't she?, yeah but she loves you girls and you
Better know it
We're all got it in this world, when it spins, when it swirls
Even when it whirls, when it twirls, my two little beautiful girls
Lookin puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusin you
Brothers always leavin you, never really seeing you
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 times growing up, seems like life isn't suppose to be
Brothers don't want to see but you know as much as I do
I didn't mean to plan it this way, momma and me
But things are not good between us, I can't see us ever being
Under the same roof, like It to be whenever I was 13
But then of course everything happens for some reason
I guess this was never meant to be
But it's just somethin me and momma have no control over and that's what our destiny is
But no worries, rest your head and baby go to sleep
Maybe one day i'll wake you and it'll all be just a dream

VERSE 02:
Haha, it's funny
I remember back in '07
Mommy told me that I was gonna have a baby sista
And when I held your hand, lay-ed down to kiss ya
I never will forget that moment
I felt like a brother and couldn't wait for you to get older
And now that I don't live with you at the time, you know we still keep it going
Either you are with mom or your with your daddy
And no matter what you i'm proud of you
Tryin out soccer is amazing, and even the grades you've been making
And mom, she loves you to the point where there's no clue
I'm tryin to start a new life, but it kills me to say goodbye
Almost 14 years without us splitting apart
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your heart
And it seems like everything was about to fall apart
Me and momma arguing a lot, now we ain't together
It's breaks my heart but life will always get better
And when brothers moved to Alanta I know it felt like I just left ya
And now with my dad, and he flew me back to see you and momma Then you Started to worry, '' where is brothers '' I miss him
And momma didn't like it, and you and Joc are too young to understand it
Brothers doesn't get along with mommy
And this happened so damn fast for the both of you
I'm just sorry that you were there and had to witness this
Cause all I ever wanted was to make momma proud
Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscin
Writing about you right now, it always trips me out
To see how much you have grown up now, it's like your my own daughter now
Wow, guess you pretty arn't, and brothers is still there
Jocelyn I'm talkin to you too, Brothers is still there
I like the sound of that, yeah, it's like there's a ring to it
Shh, Brothers only gone for the moment
