[Faith Evans, The Notorious B.I.G., James Poyser, Salaam Remi - One in the Same lyrics]
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
