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? |
|
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 |
|
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 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 |
|
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'm alright ma |
|
I'm alright pa.. na na na |
|
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 |
