Hailie’s Song Lyrics – Eminem
After a tough battle with Hailie’s mother and Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim, Eminem got custody of Hailie in 2002. He was happy and filled with joy, he then decided to write and make the song, he planned on giving it to Hailie when she was grown up or old enough to hear the song. This song was originally not intended to be released, Dr. Dre then played the song to some ladies and they were very touched by the song, he then convinced Eminem to put it on his album.

Da-da-da-daYo, I can’t sing, but I feel like singin’I wanna fuckin’ sing‘Cause I’m happy
Yeah, I’m happy, hahaI got my baby backYo, check it out
Some days I sit, starin’ out the windowWatchin’ this world pass me bySometimes I think there’s nothin’ to live forI almost break down and crySometimes I think I’m crazyI’m crazy, oh, so crazyWhy am I here, am I just wastin’ my time?But then I see my babySuddenly, I’m not crazyIt all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh, no
‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world’s on my shouldersEveryone’s leanin’ on me‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world’s almost overBut then she comes back to me
My baby girl keeps gettin’ olderI watch her grow up with pridePeople make jokes, ’cause they don’t understand meThey just don’t see my real sideI act like shit don’t faze meInside, it drives me crazyMy insecurities could eat me aliveBut then I see my babySuddenly, I’m not crazyIt all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh, no
‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world’s on my shouldersEveryone’s leanin’ on me‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world’s almost overBut then she comes back to me
Man, if I could sing, I’d keep singin’ this song to my daughterIf I could hit the notes, I’d blow somethin’ as long as my fatherTo show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got herGod, I’m a daddy, I’m so glad that her mom didn’tNow, you probably get this picture from my public personaThat I’m a pistol-packin’ drug-addict who bags on his mamaBut I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest‘Cause there’s a lot of shit I keep bottledThat hurts deep inside of my soulAnd just know that I grow colder, the the older I growThis boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to holdAnd this load is like the weight of the worldAnd I think my neck is breakin’Should I just give up, or try to live up to these expectations?Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itselfBut I got a wife that’s determined to make my life livin’ hellBut I handle it well, given the circumstances I’m dealtSo many chances, man, it’s too bad, coulda had someone elseBut the years that I’ve wasted is nothin’ to the tears that I’ve tastedSo here’s what I’m facin’, three felonies, six years of probationI’ve went to jail for this woman, I’ve been to bat for this womanI’ve taken bats to people’s backs, bent over backwards for this womanMan, I should’ve seen it comin’, what’d I stick my penis up in?Wouldn’t have ripped the prenup up if I’da seen what she was fuckin’But fuck it, it’s over, there’s no more reason to cry no moreI got my baby-baby, the only lady that I adore, HailieSo sayonara, try tomorrow, nice to know yaOur baby’s traveled back to the arms of her rightful ownerAnd suddenly, it seems like my shoulder blades have just shiftedIt’s like the greatest gift you can getThe weight has been lifted and
And now it don’t feel like the world’s on my shouldersEveryone’s leanin’ on me‘Cause my baby knows that her daddy’s a soldierNothin’ can take her from me
WooTold you, I can’t singOh well, I triedHailie, remember when I saidIf you ever need anything, daddy would be right there?Guess what? Daddy’s hereAnd I ain’t goin’ nowhere babyI love you
