D.M.C., Sarah McLachlan - 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
