one name / two fates - knownbyalex lyrics
[verse 1]
raised in the streets of baltimore
with no one by my side
no one in my life
to look down on me
no one around to care
no one around to spare
me from what i’d done
or from who i’d become
[bridge]
so when you say you care
so when you say you’re there
i can hardly believe anything coming out your mouth
i just know we’re alike
i know that you and i
we share one name, two fates
i wanna know your story
[hook]
i find you interesting
i find you alike me
we both had single mothers
raised in the same city
we’re both near the same age
we both have a story
we both could’ve known each other
but still had different fate
[interlude]
yet
here
you
lay in that prison cell
i’d like to know well
what you went and did
that i didn’t
[pre*hook]
i’d come to find out
you tried to flip life around
get out the game with good pay
but it just wasn’t working
[hook]
i find you interesting
i find you alike me
we both had single mothers
raised in the same city
we’re both near the same age
we both have a story
we both could’ve known each other
but still had different fate
[bridge]
my family took sacrifices to get me my education
you were arrested at a young age, and decided you’d never return to it
[verse 2]
so really, who is to blame
for the difference in our fates
was it all who was around
or who would care for who we became
i’d grow up to be successful
you’d grow up to rot in a cell
25 to life, for you and your brother
not going to heaven, for the sake of h*ll
job corps, built a house for your daughter
but couldn’t grow with her to make it real
you’ll only hope that she’s more successful
than her father who can’t even pay a bill
your daughter looks through bulletproof glass
she used to ask what all it was for
that’s when she got told her wes moore
committed 1st degree murder on an officer
