Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a file in the drawer with my name on it
Every job ask a question, then I choke on it
Lunch pail in my hand, school line in the rain
Try to smile for my kid, hide the shame in my veins
I was young and dumb, made fire in the wrong place
Now I pay for that night in my whole face
Co-parent texts read like a cold court case
Still I show up clean, still I show up on time
[Pre-Chorus]
Same block, different man
Same scars, same plan
Gotta feed that little one
Gotta be his number one
[Chorus]
Two records, one heart
I’m a felon and a dad
Two records, one heart
Best I got is what I have
I keep showing up
I keep showing up
Two records, one heart
I’m a felon and a dad
[Verse 2]
Little shoes by the door, cartoons on low
I cut his grapes in half, let the hard days go
He ask why my hands shake when the landlord call
I say “grown folks talk,” then I stand up tall
I know his teacher sees the look in my eyes
Like I’m measuring exits, like I’m counting the sky
I miss birthdays, but I never miss rent
I learned love is work and a little bit bent
[Pre-Chorus]
Same block, different man
Same scars, same plan
Gotta feed that little one
Gotta be his number one
[Chorus]
Two records, one heart
I’m a felon and a dad
Two records, one heart
Best I got is what I have
I keep showing up
I keep showing up
Two records, one heart
I’m a felon and a dad
[Bridge]
If he ever reads my name
I hope he sees the change
Not the headline, not the stain
Just a man who stayed
I can’t erase the past
But I can love him past that
I can break that chain
I can make a new name
[Chorus]
Two records, one heart
I’m a felon and a dad
Two records, one heart
Best I got is what I have
I keep showing up
I keep showing up
Two records, one heart
I’m a felon and a dad
