One In The Same

1970 somethin'

***** I don't sweat the date, my moms is late

So I had to plan my escape, out the skins

In this world, the fly girls

Tanqueray or Hennessy until I called Earl

Ten months in this gut, what the ****

I wish moms would hurry up so I could get buck

While, Juvenile rippin' mics and ****

New York, New York ready for the likes of this

Every single day, I'm blessed to look into his eyes

And I can't help but see no-one, but you

You gave the gift of motherhood

And I raised him up, the best I could

Never got to know you, but he's so much like you

And it's a damn shame

Why you're not here today(Why you're not here today)

I try my best to explain

Why did you go

But a child don't understand(just don't understand)

Oh. No-way (No-way)

And I'm never let 'em forget you

You're forever in their hearts

One in the same

So glad you came

To carry on the name

I know that you're lookin' down

And you're so proud

I know you're lookin' down(lookin' down)

I can see your smile

You left a special part of you, with me

Duh nuh, duh nuh

Then came the worst date, May, 21st

2:19 is when my mama's water burst

No spouse in the house, so she rolls herself

To the hospital

To see if she could get a little help

Heart-racing

And God only knows what was on her mind

Umbilical chord's wraped around my neck

I'm seein' my death

And I ain't even took my first step

Luckily she made it

Must have been right on time

Through his grace, everything was fine

I made it out, I'm bringin' mad joy

The doctor looked and said

"He's gonna be a Bad Boy."

One in the same(One in the same)

So glad you came (So glad you came)

To carry on the name

I know that you're lookin' down

And you're so proud(I know that you're lookin' down)

I know you're lookin' down

I can see your smile (oh yeah)

You left a special part of you with me(Right here with me)

And it's a damn shame

Why you're not here today(Why you're not here today)

I try my best to explain

Why did you go

But a child don't understand(just don't understand)

Oh. No-way (No-way)

And I'm never let 'em forget you

Cause you're forever in our hearts

You never leave

Forever in our hearts

Forever
