swono - collapse lyrics
[verse: eminem]
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 cryin’
’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 gettin’ broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
and your mom was savin’ money for you in a jar
tryin’ to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
almost had a thousand dollars, ’til 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 to 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 seein’ daddy on the tv, and momma didn’t like it
and you and lainie were too young to understand it
papa was a rolling 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 reminiscin’, 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
lainie, 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?
sshh! momma’s only gone for the moment
