Same Prison As My Grandfather

They say they have no heart then why we still trying
I got tired of days of seeing my mother crying
I realized I was living fast I was slowly dying
Take a look at my past no I aint lying

Grandfather was in prison for selling dope
While my mother pregnant with me tell her where's the hope
And she was only 13 at the time
Who knew that baby in the stomach live a life of crime

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
But now he out and he is there so he really changed
Miss my baby wish she was here so I'm gonna do the same

And I'm on the way just know I'm coming
I just hope when I come that she still love me

And I'm on the way just know I'm coming
I just hope when I come that she still love me

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
I never listened to advice I got from my mother
Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
I never listened to advice I got from my mother
Now I'm in the same Now I'm in the same same

Tell me where were you when the struggles came
Was all alone and every day I was wearing chains
So expect the same treatment when they come around
It's funny how people change when they see you down
Wish they could see me now the grind never stop
I'm just tryna see the view from the rooftops
Just wanna see some things I haven't seen before
Cause all I ever seen is friends come and go

It took a lot of years in prison just for me to grow
Mother used to pray to God for a miracle
She couldn't stand the life that her son chose
She used to cry and ask me when I'm gonna let it go

Shedding tears as I write this verse
Cause of all the pain throughout the years and know it still hurts
Shedding tears as I write this verse
Cause of all the pain throughout the years and know it still hurts

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
I never listened to advice I got from my mother
Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
I never listened to advice I got from my mother
Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather

And things aint been the same for a while now
Miss the days when I used to see my daughter smile
Just wanna show you mama I did a thing or two
Still feel the pain from the day I lost the two of you

But I don't blame my ex for leaving
Cause I was blinded by the streets and I couldn't see it
Wish I can take it back, wish I could change things
Used to hide from the facts cause of the pain it brings

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
I never listened to advice I got from my mother
Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather

Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
Just like him I can't be there for my own daughter
I never listened to advice I got from my mother
Now I'm in the same prison as my grandfather
