1
I'm a Yeah I know sometimes
2
Things may not always make sense to you right now But hey My daddy always tell you Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip
3
What you crying about?
4
You got me
5
Haley, 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 sad,
6
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 crying, wipe them tears Daddy's here, no more nightmares We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it Lainey uncle's crazy, ain't he?
7
Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it What we got in this world, when it spins When it swirls, when it whirls,
8
when it twirls Two little beautiful girls looking puzzled in a daze I know it's confusing you, daddy's always on the move Mama's always on the news,
9
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 as daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see,
10
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,
11
I don't see us ever being together ever again Like we used to be when we was 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
12
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep Maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream Now, hush, little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright
13
Stiffing at her bulletproof, little lady I told ya,
14
can't exit or hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now And we don't know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy Pretty baby, but I promise, mama's gonna be alright
15
It's funny, I remember back one year when daddy had no money Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck them under the tree And said some of them were from me,
16
cause daddy couldn't buy them 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
17
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 a shot up on the
18
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 And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
19
Mom and dad was arguing a lot So mama moved back on the traumas 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.
20
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 Lainey were too young to understand it Papa was a rolling stone,
21
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,
22
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 Plenty, I'm talking to you too Daddy's still here I like the sound of that chair It's got a ring to it, don't it?
23
Shh, mama's only gone for the moment Now hush, little baby, don't you cry Everything's gonna be alright
24
Stiffin' that up, pull it back, little lady I told ya,
25
daddy's here to hold ya through the night I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why We feel how we feel inside It may seem a little crazy,
26
pretty baby But I promise, mama's gon' be alright And if you ask me too, daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird 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
27
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine I'ma break that party's neck I go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya And make him eat every carrot, don't f* with that

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
