Same Story lyrics

[Intro]

They say that things just cannot go

Beneath the winter snow

And so I have been told

[Verse 1]

You came into my mother’s life at the right time

More than a step-father, more of like a lifeline

She ain’t really had happiness since my pop died

She was living but living is always not alive

And my momma should be treated like a queen

You gave her everything she ever needed like a queen

Probably the most gentle G I ever seen

The love y’all shared I never seen in human beings

Y’all were together twelve years, never no fights

Not even a little argument, that was so nice

Three of us eating dinner together most nights

Working seven days a week, that ain’t no life

But never once did I hear you complain

Even when they let you go never hear you with blame

It take a real man to walk through the rain

He was a real man who got sick and fought through the pain

[Hook]

They say that things just cannot go

Beneath the winter snow

And so I have been told

They say we’re very far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

[Verse 2]

I walked in that morning and knew something was wrong

I tried to talk to you Rock, you didn’t respond

I called 9-1-1 and then ran for my moms

Waiting for the ambulance and I tried to be calm

Moms went with you, I stayed and held down the fort

I was nervous, I was crying and really distraught

I was alone by myself, just left with my thoughts

Mommy called, told me that you had a stroke and fought

I ain’t seen a hospital since my father died

I don’t like it there, memories is locked inside

When I walked inside the room we started to cry

I was just so happy that you was alive

And you told you how much that you hate the hospital

And that they thieves are trying to keep their pockets full

I think I hold myself a little bit responsible

When you was smoking all the time I wasn’t stopping you

Nevertheless you came home and that was real

A lot of therapy and doctors gave you lots of pills

You couldn’t thrive anymore, you had to stop and chill

And that’s too much for anybody that can stop your will

But you never got back to your norm

You was proud, didn’t want any help from my mom

I left for tour and you asked me how long I’d be gone

And I could see inside your eyes you knew something was wrong

I got back mommy told me you was sick again

Couldn’t believe that we was going through this shit again

I love you Rock and I’m always gonna miss you friend

And for me it’s just the same story, different pen

[Hook x2]
