[Intro:] Being broke was a good thing & a bad thing But i learned to appreciate you a lot more [Verse 1:] 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 [Hook - Chikk:] 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 [Verse 2:]
