|
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
|

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 [2X]
|
|
[Chorus]

|
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 [2X]
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[DMC]
|
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 [2X]
|
I'm alright ma
|
I'm alright pa.. na na na
|
|
[Chorus - 4X to fade]
