Just Like Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1: DMC & Sarah McLachlan] 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) [Chorus: Sarah McLachlan] 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 [Post-Chorus: DMC] 1964, uh! Here we go, aiyyo [Verse 2: DMC, DMC & Sarah McLachlan] The child was born it was a beautiful day It was 1964, the thirty-first of May The girl gave birth to a baby boy He is 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 That is a chance that you gotta give [Chorus: Sarah McLachlan & DMC] 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 (What you sayin', huh?) You know we'll have a good time then (What you sayin'?) [Post-Chorus: DMC] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight [Verse 3: DMC] It was nine 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 Understand all the words that I'm rappin' to you [Chorus: Sarah McLachlan] 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 [Post-Chorus: DMC] Father is, the mother and the father is [Verse 4: DMC & Sarah McLachlan] 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 just want you to know, yo yo I'm alright, ma I'm alright, pa Na na na [Chorus: Sarah McLachlan] 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 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 I know we'll have a good time then 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 I know we'll have a good time then 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 I know we'll have a good time then 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 I know we'll have a good time then And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon
