M0CkiNGBirD-”The Apology”

What is the best way to convey your feelings to someone else you Love? According to me, it can be through a great song. Songs are amazing things which allow us to raise our voices in pain, passion, praise or protest. Just like this, Mockingbird titled song sung by Eminem to her beloved Daughter ‘Hailie’. He even won a Grammy for this piece. When anyone is at its prime time, he is not able to give time to his family and friends due to excessive workload. It was the time when Eminem was having issues with his wife Kim too.
Eminem has a unique way of describing a story in his songs and which makes him exceptional.
Here is one of the small verse:
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.

I got attached to this song because of my parents since they weren’t able to give me time (both were in jobs) thus I was able to relate myself to this song. Mockingbird is possibly one of the best rap verses by the Rap God and possibly one of the least lyrically-aggressive songs in his portfolio (a collection of a writer’s work).
Sometimes things kept on falling apart and Em calls it destiny in this song. Sometimes things just don’t work out no matter how hard you try. Em had a fight with his wife moreover went to California to continue his professional career and thus wasn’t able to play the role of a father in Hailie’s life.
Here is my second favorite verse:
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 Lainnie were too young to understand it
Papa was a-rollin’ stone, momma developed a habit
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 now
It is the heartfelt apology to both Hailie and Alaina. They had to grow up watching a family fall apart which is the exact thing Eminem tried to avoid happening. Later he promises to provide every single article through which she can remain happier like a Mockingbird or Diamond Ring. He would do anything to keep them happy and smile. He would even ‘Kill a Mockingbird’ meaning to make her smile he would cross any kind of boundaries.

Mockingbird is one of the most emotional songs connected to Eminem’s life. Though Eminem is a hardcore rapper still there are many yet times when he was caught crying while singing this song live in any concert That alone tells how much guts and emotions he has poured into these lyrics. Respect!.
