One In The Same Lyrics - Faith Evans

1970 something 

Nigga 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 girl 

Tanqueray or Hennessy until I called Earl 

Ten months in this gut, what the fuck 

I wish moms would hurry up so I could get buck 

While, Juvenile rippin' mics and shit 

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 

I try my best to explain 

Why did you go? 

But a child just don't understand 

Ohh 

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 

I can see your smile 

You left a special part of you, with me 

Duh nuh, duh nuh 

Uh, 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 

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 

I can see your smile 

You left a special part of you, with me 

Duh nuh, duh nuh 

And it's a damn shame 

Why you're not here today 

I try my best to explain 

Why did you go? 

But a child just don't understand 

Ohh 

No-way 

And I'm never let 'em forget you 

You're forever in our hearts
