Same Story (My Dedication) (Feat. Liz Fullerton)

[Verse 1]
You came into my mother’s life at the right time/
More than a stepfather, 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 mama should be treated like a queen/
You gave her every thing she ever needed like a queen/
Probably the most gentle 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 here you would blame/
It take a real man to walk through the rain/
It was a real man that got sick and fought through the pain/

[Verse 2]
I walked in that morning, I knew something was wrong/
I tried to talk to you ‘Roc you didn’t respond/
I called 911 and then ran for my moms/
Waited 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 at at four/
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 me how much that you hate the hospital/
And that they thieves and 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/
Never the less, you came home and that was real/
lot of therapy and doctors gave you lots of pills/
You couldn’t drive 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 [bad word] again/
I love you ‘Roc and I’m always going to miss you friend/
And for me it’s just the same story, different pen/
