The Notorious B.I.G. - One in the Same lyrics
[Verse 1 – Notorious B.I.G.] 1970 something n***a 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 f** I wish moms would hurry up so I could get buck While, Juvenile ripping mics and sh** New York, New York ready for the likes of this [Verse 2 – Faith Evans] 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 [Pre-Hook/Chorus] 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 [Hook/Chorus] One in the same So glad you came To carry on the name I know that you're looking down, and you're so proud I know you're looking down I can see your smile You left a special part of you, with me Duh nuh, duh nuh [Verse 3 – Notorious B.I.G. & Faith Evans] 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 seeing my d**h, 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 bringing mad joy The doctor looked and said (he's gonna be a Bad Boy.) [Hook/Chorus] One in the same So glad you came To carry on the name I know that you're looking down, and you're so proud I know you're looking down I can see your smile You left a special part of you, with me Duh nuh, duh nuh [Outro] 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
