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
