Being broke was a good thing & a bad thing
But I learned to appreciate you a lot more
Tell me what you looking sad for
God is listenin' depending what you ask for
I was that young fella sleeping on the floor
My stomach was always hurtin' at the grocery store
Would you like to know my story homie?, I could tell you more
And I don't need no sympathy, I made it thru the storm
Me & my sister never knew that we was poor
She gave me the love I needed and maybe a lot more
Advice, on how to treat a woman right
Cuz if somebody hurt your sister, its something you wouldn't like
Every time I felt depressed she told me my future bright
I felt like giving up and she kept my spirit alive
I wrote rhymes, instead of loading the 9's
I get a feeling like my friends hoping I don't shine
So why you actin' like you love me then?
I don't get you homie you be actin' funny man
Cuz when the rain fall it hits both of us
And if the cops come, both got our hands up
Don't forget, you & me the same one
Can't forget, you & me the same one
Same time, one life, we tryin'
To get it right we fightin'
Don't forget, you & me the same one
Can't forget, you & me the same one
I used to criticize my father for the things he did
And now I have different women pregnant, I'm having kids
Like who the fuck am I to ever talk some shit about em
It hurts my feelings every time I go & think about it
Its like history repeats, on every women I cheat
And we ain't never gotta speak
I think I learned it from you
I guess I gotta thank my father for the shit he put us through
In the 90's, analyze my defiance
Violence made me a fugitive, product of my environment
Started selling drugs cuz no one is trying to hire me
To think about it I been searching for the finer things
I don't think today is bright enough
For me to make it through the night
Coming from a broken home, hope you never try it
People where I'm from, catching 25 to life
Shout out to the police who violated my rights
When the rain falls, it hits both of us
And if the cops come, both got our hands up
Don't forget, you & me the same one
Can't forget, you & me the same one
Same time, one life, we tryin'
To get it right, we fightin'
Don't forget, you & me the same one
Can't forget, you & me the same one
Think twice before you judge someone
We all go through the same
Its all the same
