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 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 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.
'Till someone broke in and stole it,
And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your Mama's heart.
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart,
Mom and Dad was arguin' a lot.
So Mama moved back to the Chalmers flat, one bedroom apartment,
And Dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novara.
And that's when Daddy when to California with his CD,
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me.
But Daddy had to work, you and Mama had to leave me,
Then you started seein' Daddy on the TV.
And Mama didn't like it,
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it.
Papa was a rollin' stone, and Mama 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.

part of Eminem's Mockingbird.

heard it over late lunch at Aston's in cathay today.
can say that i'm quite into hip-hop these few days.and its really meaningful and all his lyrics are mostly bout family ties.and how easy is it for you to find such singers that pen down family issues as their lyrics nowadays.



its been quite a hiatus since i updated.and i'm looking forward to next week starting from sunday.
i know i havent been training much.and those thoughts really have crossed my mind.cos of this muscle pull again.its really disheartening.
