I like how he doesn't rag on Kim in this song. He acknowledges her as an important part of his daughter's life, even if he doesn't get along with her anymore. It's kind of nice.
See this is a message most single parents don't get. Just because you had a baby with a person and you take care of it doesn't mean it isn't still someone else's baby. Eminem being the realist rage the world ever seen still puts his beef on hold for his kids yall can really be better than what you are now
eminem is truly a great father, he makes sure that she doesn’t have such a bad childhood as him, and will go to such lengths of getting into huge beef with other rappers, just to protect her
I was 15 when I knew this song, but at 20 i understood it as a son, and now I'm 28 and i understand what he means as a father who's lost his child, may god bless u're soul son 🙏
This new cancerous ass generation is trashing legend Eminem, while praising people like lil pump tekashi whatever 🤢 .. but real ones will always know yes ♥️
Sumukh that's said but I don't blame him its about his real life GE misses his kids and wife! 9 !! They got Shot up on the block and she wanted his kid to got to college it had almost a 1000dalloers
This song by Eminem has deeply touched many listeners as it portrays fatherhood and family woes while showing a sensitive and intimate side of himself.
Many of us are currently in this situation or are soon approaching the period that Marshal was going through. This next phase requires us to be men and continue to be guided by integrity all the way to the finish line. This is the most difficult and painful milestone ever. But it will be worth every second. Because we are forced to provide our children with everything that we didn't have in childhood, and we needed it so badly. So, Kings, Forth, and Fear Not!
So sad when we get older we understand eminem's lyrics , he really knows the meaning of life he knows how much the past hurt us and what this life will do to us in the future
Forever an eminem fam. Moms was droppin me and lil bro off to elementary school bumpin em, 50, cube, all the old schools . Parents always gave my mom looks and she always told us dont let other ppls looks or comments towards you effect your character and how you move as a person. 💯
his first hit came up when he was 28 and he was 32 when he made mockingbird so he wasn't that young. it feels like he was a kid to me too tho maybe bc of his then immature attitude
I still remember the first time I heard this song when I was like 8, my parents weren't together either and my dad had just gone in the convenient store. I started crying in the car and skipped the song halfway through cause I didn't want him to see me crying. Everytime I watch this video I think of that and how I used to think that my dad was like eminem, sitting in the chair watching old home movies while I was gone. This man helped me understand so much about life at an early age and made me feel less alone without ever even meeting me and ill forever respect him for that
Think, Lainie was technically his niece. He adopted her though so that she didn’t have to see her mother go through addiction. He treated her like his own daughter as well. True man there

@@ollehogefjord7023 Because he is. There are a bunch of people who listen to him because he is mainstream. There are plenty of artists who are at the same level or better than Eminem. He simply has such a big ''fanbase'' that anything he drops is liked. Just like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, etcetera. With that being said: calling him ''the best rapper ever'' is overrated. There are a lot of rap styles and Eminem's style is outdated, dull, and boring. You do not listen to enough rap/ artists if you consider Eminem the best rapper ever.
@@Neutrality1515 That is because you do not listen to any other rap style. You also do not want to get to the present and you are stuck in the past. The rappers you named are all old school/ dull school rappers. Try new styles, stop sleeping on other artists, and stop being boring. There are plenty of new artists but too many people are stubborn to try new music. Always stuck in the past, never up for a challenge, never up for something new... do not ever make a list of artists of an entire genre if you do not even listen to new styles.
The story telling in this song is just mind blowing. He was probably ripping himself apart writing this in the studio and that’s exactly why it is what it is.
Come on y’all .. This is too much of a masterpiece to ruin the comment section with the name of that poser who tried to diss Em.. Forget that clown and appreciate the song
THE REAL REASON WHY EMINEM ( MARSHALL MATHERS ) KEEPS ON LOOKING DIFFERENT! "he is supposed to be dead, and a permanent clone that needs a new replacement body every 6 months to a year. Unknown if it is even his original consciousness running the clone. Could be a Vrill, could be a dead consciousness recorded on chip. It's why he was slurring his speech and acting mentally handicapped in a few of his interviews, His clone brain was degrading and he needed to get a replacement. They go to specific hospitals, like one near camp David somewhere to get the replacements, they grow multiples and choose the most similar looking one." - Donald Marshall [Websites in which you can read this info] -DONALD MARSHALL PROBOARDS -ASTRAL7 BLOGSITE (Website might be slow but its all worth it) Enjoy what you read!

Eminem made a song when i was in my childhood then i never understood what the song was like but now when i m grown up i can understand the level of emotions he carried in his heart while writing this masterpiece
Lucid _2_Win yeah man tbh I don’t like Eminem’s music much anymore. But I can’t blame him because he dominated the rap game for over a decade. You gots run out of ideas at some point lol
Listening this after 'Temporary' and crying my eyes out... this dude passed through a lot in life and the only thing that gave him power was his daughter...he did EVERYTHING for her.... He's gonna be the best grandfather. All my respect 🫡
My name's Kaylee my dad used to play this song when him and my mom split up and he would sing it to me and use my name instead ....... He passed away Jan. 3 . 2020 we were really close I could talk to him about anything he died really young he was gonna turn 47 Jan .26.2020 ....ive felt lost without him everytime I hear this song it cheers me up bc it makes me remeber how awesome a dad he was thank u marshal...

This man got me through life. I am literally hooked since elementary school. I am not living in an english speaking country, but I knew a little english from school, a he made me learn a lot, and i did (that, too, helped me in life). Now, listening to this as a dad... well, Eminem is one of the greatest artists to ever do music (yea, not just hip hop). An honest, humble, gentle man who will eat you for breakfast if you deserve it.
this song reminds me so much of my dad, who i hated so much. i hated him for not being around, i hated him for being so busy all the time, i hated that he doesn't make time to bond with us. but as i grew older, the more i understand that my father loves me very much. His busyness reminds us of how much he's tiring himself just for us to eat and to enjoy a life of leisure, the one he was deprived of growing up. He gave me the happiness he wanted to have as a child. Gifts, toys, jewelry, whatever made me happy, as long as I lived my life to the fullest, he's happy. And im grateful for my dad and ill always regret my hatefulness towards him as a child. I love you dad, thank you for loving me and taking care of me every single day without me realizing it. I hope you live longer to see me grow up like how you wanted, and to love my children just like you love me. Thank you for being my dad.
There's a difference between this rap song and rap songs we hear now. This song actually means something while the rap songs now mean nothing but drugs, sex, etc.
Evan Aguilera music doesn't always have to mean something profound, sometimes people just wanna get fuckin hyped and not actually have to pay attention to the lyrics. Focus on eachother not the music. It's just a different kinda sound
The oldschool rap was about bitches, money, drug, guns just like today but that oldschool was 200% better than rap this days. Much respect for N.W.A. 2Pac 50cent and mobb depp for opening my eyes. God i wish i was born in '70..
I was 8 when this song first hit the radio stations I asked my mom: “What does Eminem mean by this” My mom told me that Eminem was going through a hard time and I’ll understand it when I’m older, I grew up, and now I understand. Eminem was my childhood and my teenage years he still is a big part of my music life today and this song helped me realize that things like this actually happen and it is hard to accept that truth but it’s unavoidable and cannot be turned away or else it will cause problems.
This one song destroys all of the new artist's songs nowadays. Lil pump, Gucci gang, post Malone, and all of the "new" generation rapper's songs could never amount to this one song right here. Eminem is one of the few rappers that rap from the heart, not from whats in their bank accounts. Nothin but respect for this man 💯✌️👌

Mockingbird Lyrics
[ Intro ]
Yeah
I know sometimes things might not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you’ Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip What’chu crying about?
You got me..
[ Verse 1 ]
Hailie, I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
When I’m gone but I’m trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you’re sad, even when you smile even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes deep inside, you wanna cry
Cause you’re scared I ain’t there, Daddy’s with you in your prayers
No more cryin wipe them tears, Daddy’s here no more nightmares
We gonna pull together through it we gonna do it
Lainie, uncle’s crazy ain’t he, yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We’re all we got in this world when it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
Lookin puzzled, in a daze I know it’s confusing you
Daddy’s always on the move, Mama’s always on the news
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 things, growin up as daddy that he had to see
Daddy don’t want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me
But things have got so bad between us I don’t see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be like when was teenagers but then of course everything always happen for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be but it’s just something we have no control over
And that’s what destiny is, but no more worries rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dream
[ Chorus ]
Now hush little baby don’t you cry everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
Daddy’s here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise Mama’s gon be alright
[ Verse 2 ]
It’s funny, I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christamas 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 getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
And your mom, was saving money for you in a jar trying 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 mamma’s heart
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguing a lot so mama moved back on the chalmers in a 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 Mama out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and mama had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the TV, and mama didn’t like it
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
That Papa was a rolling stone, 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
Now I’m sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it’s almost like your sisters now
Wow, I guess you pretty much are and daddy’s still here
Lainie I’m talking to you too, Daddy’s still here
I like the sound of that, yeah it’s got a ring to it, don’t it?
Shhh, mama’s only gone for the moment
[ Chorus ]
[ Outro ]
And if you ask me to, Daddy’s gonna buy you a mocking bird
I’ma give you the world, I’ma buy a diamond ring for you
I’ma sing for you, I’ll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don’t sing and the ring don’t shine
I’ma break that birdies neck
I’ll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat, don’t fuck with dad
Imagine Em's Daughter listening to this. Damn.

This made me cry. Eminem’s the best rapper ever.
Overrated.
MH&R N. How the hell is Eminem overrated?
Em is one of the best next to Tupac... Notorious B.I.G, Tupac, and Eminem are the big three of Hip Hop
@@ollehogefjord7023 Because he is. There are a bunch of people who listen to him because he is mainstream. There are plenty of artists who are at the same level or better than Eminem. He simply has such a big ''fanbase'' that anything he drops is liked. Just like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, etcetera. With that being said: calling him ''the best rapper ever'' is overrated. There are a lot of rap styles and Eminem's style is outdated, dull, and boring. You do not listen to enough rap/ artists if you consider Eminem the best rapper ever.
@@Neutrality1515 That is because you do not listen to any other rap style. You also do not want to get to the present and you are stuck in the past. The rappers you named are all old school/ dull school rappers. Try new styles, stop sleeping on other artists, and stop being boring. There are plenty of new artists but too many people are stubborn to try new music. Always stuck in the past, never up for a challenge, never up for something new... do not ever make a list of artists of an entire genre if you do not even listen to new styles.
The story telling in this song is just mind blowing. He was probably ripping himself apart writing this in the studio and that’s exactly why it is what it is.

THE REAL REASON WHY EMINEM ( MARSHALL MATHERS ) KEEPS ON LOOKING DIFFERENT!
"he is supposed to be dead, and a permanent clone that needs a new replacement body every 6 months to a year. Unknown if it is even his original consciousness running the clone. Could be a Vrill, could be a dead consciousness recorded on chip. It's why he was slurring his speech and acting mentally handicapped in a few of his interviews, His clone brain was degrading and he needed to get a replacement. They go to specific hospitals, like one near camp David somewhere to get the replacements, they grow multiples and choose the most similar looking one." - Donald Marshall

What an absolute touching tribute to his daughter back then, I bet she cried loads when hearing this for the first time. I used to know every word of it in 2004.
This isn't the song of a rapper, it's the song of a father. ALWAYS HAD MAD RESPECT FOR YOU EMINEM. GOT OUT THE BAD HOLE TO A BETTER BLESSED LIFE !!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love you 😗💕 from Thailand
Anyone that says eminem isnt the goat pisses me off because who else wrote ALL those hits.

1.They're
2.all
3.Amazing
Curv if you are interested in mine
1. You
2. Are
3. Right
Except for Fack of course haha
therifle1 the weirdest song of all time
until you hear Kim :D
I know sometimes things may not
Always make sense to you right now
But hey
What daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Cause you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news
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 things growing up his daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we were teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright
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 crying
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 getting broken into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna 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 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 the 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 seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
And you and Laney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' 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 sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
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
Laney 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?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the world
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdies neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
And they give ne every carat

Eminem was really just untouchable as an artist. Songs like this and When I’m Gone are just way too good. Long live the legend 🙏🏼

Your success now is just a small reward, believe me. Keep your sincerity until the end of your life, that's where you will find happiness.
As a 12 year old, I just thought this song was a great song. Now, as a new dad who went through struggles as an adult, this hits me different.
Now imagine being the daughter of that father 🥲🥲🥲 gets me in tears bro
im sorry
this song reminds me so much of my dad, who i hated so much. i hated him for not being around, i hated him for being so busy all the time, i hated that he doesn't make time to bond with us. but as i grew older, the more i understand that my father loves me very much. His busyness reminds us of how much he's tiring himself just for us to eat and to enjoy a life of leisure, the one he was deprived of growing up. He gave me the happiness he wanted to have as a child. Gifts, toys, jewelry, whatever made me happy, as long as I lived my life to the fullest, he's happy. And im grateful for my dad and ill always regret my hatefulness towards him as a child.
I love you dad, thank you for loving me and taking care of me every single day without me realizing it. I hope you live longer to see me grow up like how you wanted, and to love my children just like you love me. Thank you for being my dad.

There's a difference between this rap song and rap songs we hear now. This song actually means something while the rap songs now mean nothing but drugs, sex, etc.
Evan Aguilera lately political rap is actually coming back, wich was gone for like 15-20 years if i remember correctly. and i agree.
Rappers today only talk about materialistic shit
Evan Aguilera music doesn't always have to mean something profound, sometimes people just wanna get fuckin hyped and not actually have to pay attention to the lyrics. Focus on eachother not the music. It's just a different kinda sound
Evan Aguilera but what about logic, tech 9, hopsin etc
The oldschool rap was about bitches, money, drug, guns just like today but that oldschool was 200% better than rap this days. Much respect for N.W.A. 2Pac 50cent and mobb depp for opening my eyes. God i wish i was born in '70..
