"Dad's gotta go catch a plane"<br>"Daddy, where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy, where is she?"<br>"I don't know, go play, Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy<br>Daddy's writin' a song, the song ain't gon' write itself<br>I'll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself"<br>Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her<br>And put hands on her mother who's a spittin' image of her<br>That's Slim Shady, yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy<br>Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-bye baby, ha</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[Chorus]<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin'<br>And I didn't feel a thing, so, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br>And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn<br>Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br>Just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin'<br>And I didn't feel a thing, so, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back<br>See upcoming rap shows<br>Get tickets for your favorite artists</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You might also like<br>MUNYUN<br>Playboi Carti<br>Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]<br>Taylor Swift<br>Mockingbird<br>Eminem</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[Verse 2]<br>I keep havin' this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing<br>She keeps screamin' she don't want me to sing<br>"You're makin' Mommy cry, why?
