Same Story feat. Liz Fullerton

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 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 [bad word] 
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
 [bad word] 

I am made of all four corners 
All directions without the borders 
I am [bad word] so loose together 
And you’re a thread that holds forever 
I’m not nobody’s baby 
You had your [bad word] too  
But you always came through for me

[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 
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 [bad word] again 
I love you Rock and I’m always gonna miss you friend 
And for me it’s just the same story, different pen
 [bad word]
