JK - People Like Me (Remix) lyrics

[Hook:K'Naan] Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down And open doors to hurting people like me People like me, people like me, people like me, people like me [Verse 1: James] All alone by myself nobody's around I got my head in the sky and my feet on the ground Even though we surround by the hate and the slaughter I'm tryna keep my head up like I'm drowning under water Caught up on the streets with no shoes on my feet Kept a smile on my face even when I didn't eat Kept a dream in my head even when I didn't sleep And now I feel blessed even when I don't sneeze Cause I made it out the dark, now I see a lot of gates Still trying to find Cupid cause I see a lot of hate See life's just a midget and the sky ain't the limit So I shoot for the sun like I'm playing for the Phoenix Despite all these critics and the dreams I am chasing I'm headed to the north like the Great Migration Short after all but I'm still standing tall Got the world on my back and I'm not gonna fall Um, I'm not gonna fall! [Hook:K'Naan] [Verse 2: Keith Wonder] Stuck in nightmares where the dreams never end So I'm down on my knees for the tears that they've shed Makes me want to thank you for the little that I had Cause I made it out the slums still covered in a rag 782 Mzari Avenue I wish ya'll knew what this boy been through I walked every day with my worn out shoes And I walked every mile just to get to school It's true it's reality life is never simple But I gotta keep going keep rolling like a cripple See I'm here for a reason with my neck brace vision If hip-hop is a puzzle I'm the last piece missing Feel it, the pain from the words that I spoke Man I'm tryna bring change even though I am broke You can feel my heart like a stethoscope Understand the microphone is my only last hope [Hook:K'Naan]
