Same Story Lyrics

You came into my mothers life at the right time,
More than a stepfather, more of like a life line,
She ain't really had happiness since my pop died,
She was livin, but livin 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've 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 eatin dinner together most nights,
Workin seven days a week that aint no life,
But never once did I hear you complain,
Even when they let you go, never hear you a blame,
It take a real man to walk through the rain,
It was a real man who got sick and fought through the pain,

I walked in that morning and knew somethin was wrong,
I tried to talk to you, Rock, you didnt respond,
I called 911 and then ran for my moms,
Waitin for the ambulance and I tried to be calm,
Moms where were 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 gone told me that you had a stroke and fought,
I havent seen a hospital since my father died,
I dont like it there memories is locked inside,
When we walked in the room we started to cry,
I was just so happy that you was alive,
Then you told me how much that you hate the hospital,
And that the D's are tryna keep their pockets full,
I think I hold myself a little bit responsible,
When you was smokin all that time I wasnt stoppin you,
Nevertheless, you came home and that was real,
Alot of therapy, and doctors gave you lots of pills,
You couldnt drive anymore, you had to stop and chill,
And thats so much for anybody that can stop your will,
But you never got back to your norm,
You was proud, didnt want any help from my mom,
I left for tour then you asked me how long I'd be gone,
And I could see inside your eyes you knew somethin was wrong,
I got back, mommy told me you was sick again,
Couldnt believe we were goin 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.
