We Are Not The Same
Drove him to school just after the day that he flipped
Told him if any students asked for him
To say that he slipped
So many bruises past to him they faded in quick
They say the fatal wounds
The fact that he don't play with his kids
And now I pray that he lives
Persuaded he gives into the lie
The bed you made it was his
Just say what it is cus basically the pain that you give
Is the pain that you received and you afraid to relive
And you can blame it on your past tenses
Tame it or have fences
But it don't change the fact
You can't escape your last sentence
When they have to reference evidence
You broke the surface skin
Laugh but after that they sending him to social surface Then where would you be at bending at the kneecap
Pretending that he needed that slap
When well you see that
You doing to your son what your father did to you
He put you on the run
And it ain't hard for you to do
The same
We are not the same
The distance in our lives
Bares the innocence I claim
Please know that we are not the same
The instant you arrived
With this infant and my name
Please know that
Met her at school forever he knew
He'd have to tell her the truth
In a letter he drew out every letter as proof
He wouldn't let her be used
How his treasure of youth bowed and tethered abuse
Better to use now to measure every moment they shared
As a powerful atonement
How broken he bared
Can one hoping to share his life with another be
When you as beaten as the lover in me
Holy seeking for the Brother in three
Uncovered to see me
Before becoming a mother to be
See while the facts bruise I couldn't figure it out
Why my back was being used for putting cigarettes out
And my laugh was subdued for it please him to cry
These are the reasons why for you I would leave it behind
I refuse to do to you what my father did to me
Only I choose who I am I pray to God that you will see the same
We are not the same
The distance in our lives
Bares the innocence I claim
Please know that we are not the same
The instant you arrived
With this infant and my name
Please know that
