Same Story (Original Version) feat. Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks
[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 G 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/ A 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 shit 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/
