(Harry Chapin/Sandy Chapin) [D.M.C.:] 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 [D.M.C.:] 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 SongtexteAnd 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] [D.M.C.:] 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] [D.M.C.:] 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] Aus Songtexte Mania
