Notaların İzinde | The Story of Mockingbird
Eminem is the rebellious, tough white boy of rap. We always know him for his songs with harsh, assertive lyrics, but in this song, besides all those harsh adjectives, we will tell the story of the sentences spilled from the pen of a father.
In the early 90s Eminem wanted to enter the rap world and was even making an album called Infinite, but he was having financial and family problems. He wasn't even a household name at that time. In 96 he could only release the album and it didn't catch on. In those years his daughter Hailie was born, and at the same time there was already Hailie's older sister Alaina at home. Alaina is the daughter of Eminem's wife Kimberlyn's twin sister. But because her mother had drug problems, she lived with Eminem and her aunt. After a while, Eminem adopted her. When Hailie was 3 or 4 years old, Eminem was having problems with his wife and these problems were never ending. Of course, the children at home were affected by this and grew up unhappy. No matter how much Eminem cared about this, on the one hand he was doing album works and on the other hand they had to make a living and support his family. The arguments intensified and the couple decided to separate. It was in those moments that Eminem made the decision to make Eminem Eminem Eminem and decided to move to the other side of 8 miles in Novara. That's where he would meet Dr. Dre and sign to his record label and release new albums and become world famous. Mom and Dad argued a lot
Eventually Mom moved to a one bedroom apartment in Chalmers And your dad went to the other side of 8 Mile in Novara
Then your dad went to California with his CD
There he met Dr. Dre and he flew your mom and you to see me
But your dad had to work, you and your mom had to go
Then you started seeing your dad on TV
But there was a problem, of course, and that was their children, and Alaina did not separate them from Haili. Some days they came to Eminem and some days they stayed with Kimberlyn. But the children were very unhappy.
In 1999, my mother released her first major album, The Slim Shady LP, under the production of Dr. Dre, and with this album she became a mainstream success. He received many awards.
Things were getting better in the business world and he didn't want his children to be unhappy, so the same year he decided to marry the mother of his daughter and they got married.
Everything was going well. Until 2001, Kimberlyn was in the news until 2001, there were many drug allegations about her, and her twin was a drug addict. Eminem was constantly running around for album work and stages.
The children were unhappy again. There were conflicts and arguments in the marriage and it didn't work out and the couple divorced in 2001.
The trials, the process, the whole thing was having a big impact on the children and Eminem couldn't miss it.
Hailie, I know you miss your mommy, you miss your daddy when he's not here
But I'm trying to give you the life I never had
I know you're sad, even when you're laughing and laughing
I can see it in your eyes, it makes you want to cry
Because you were scared and I wasn't there
Your father is with you in his prayers
He was also very fond of his mother, hailie, even Eminem
We didn't want it to be like this, your mother and I
But it went so badly that we couldn't be together
But it was something beyond our control and that's the definition of fate but some things can't be helped, sometimes you love someone even if you don't get along with them, you want things to get better, you want characters to change, but not everything is in your hands and characters change very difficult.
All we have is each other, like a pinwheel, like a whirlpool
Spinning fast, two beautiful little girls
So confused, stunned, I know you're a little confused
Dad's always running and mom's on the news
Eminem and his family were caught in the middle of such a spiral. He makes songs that the world listens to, he disses other rappers, he deals with everyone, the press, those who come at him, and he overcomes them all, but he cannot prevent his children from being affected by what happened, and isn't the hardest thing for a father not to be able to protect his children? No matter how hard I try, the return is just as hard When you were growing up, daddy didn't want you to see what he saw But unfortunately you saw it all as daddy did Eminem released this song he wrote to his daughters, this letter, on his encore album in 2004. Mockingbird is a mockingbird. Like every father, his only concern was to prevent his daughters from going through what he went through and to provide them with a good material and moral future.
And if you want, Daddy will buy you a mockingbird
I will give you the world
I will buy you a diamond ring and I will sing
I will do anything to see you laugh
And if that mockingbird doesn't sing and the ring doesn't shine
I will break the bird's neck
I will go to the jeweler who sells the ring
