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
