The song “Mockingbird” by Eminem reveals many concepts throughout the song. Many emotions were shown through his lyrics for the love he has for his two daughters. His lyrics provide a brief and straight forward message but if you take time out to interpret each line it consumes a story of his life. The word alone proved an important message about how he feels about himself as a father and describes the problems he faced trying to raise Hailie and Laney. The music adds emotion to the lyrics but just reading the lyrics alone is enough to understand the struggles Eminem went through. Hailie and Laney were too young to understand the problems their parents were going through. Eminem was struggling financially and Kim was a drug addict. Eminem tried to make his daughters understand what was going on in their lives. He’s telling his daughters that no matter what happens to always keep a positive outlook. “What you crying about? You got me,” this was an often used phrase throughout the song that Eminem used as a constant reminder to tell his daughters that no matter what happens, he will always be there for them. Eminem does this because he doesn’t want to repeat the same mistakes that his father did and abandon his two daughters. He’s trying to be the best father possible. He tries to make it very clear to us that his daughters mean more than the world to him. Eminem strived to get a record deal so that he could help provide for his family. A lyric that showed a great deal of emotions through the song was “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,” shows that Eminem can tell how his daughter Hailie is feeling just by the look in her eyes. Even though Eminem isn’t always there for his two daughters but he still tries his best to provide them with a good life and loves them so deeply. He confirms with Hailie that she doesn’t need to be scared anymore
