Dmc - Just Like Me lyrics

As I walk through the corners of Cooley High

I gotta be thankful that I'm still alive

I have a lot of thoughts like who the hell am I

What is the truth and what is a lie?

But I think about my life and everything is okay

I gotta pave the way to a brighter day

Cause it's really plain and simple when it came to me

There's a lot of people just like me (like me)

There's a whole lot just like me (like me)

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin home, I don't know when

We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then

1964, uhh! Here we go, aiyyo

The child was born it was a beautiful day

It was 1964, the 31st of May

The girl gave birth to a baby boy

He's not a burden, he's a bundle of joy

She was just a young girl in her youth

And her parents tried real hard to hide the truth

Is there a chance for the baby to live?

That is a chance that you gotta give

It was 9 whole months inside of the womb

Another long month in the hospital room

Facin doom in a tomb cause the kid is alone

But somebody came along and they took the kid home

He came into the world like we all do

But he never ever knew how he came through

Do the best you can do if this happen to you

And understand all the words that I'm rappin to you

Father is, the mother and the father is..

Yo, the mother and the father is all that he knows

They give him lots of love and you know that it shows

He's livin really well he has all that he needs

He came into the world and he's gonna succeed

It is a blessing to live in the light

If nothing is wrong then something is right

They say that life is a mystery

And I just wanna know my history

Understand that life is good to me

That's the way it is so (let it be)

My life is complete, everything is alright

Life is good to me, I'm in paradise

Understand when I'm rappin, no pain and sorrow

I just want you to know, yo yo

I'm alright ma

I'm alright pa.. na na na
