Kna'an - People Like Me lyrics

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 Yeah, people like me Is it fair to say that I am stressing out I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out My homies said I was stupid for even joining My consulate said my decision was disappointing How she had good slate for good state colleges and with my good grades it wouldn't've been a problem But they don't understand just the power of significance More than brilliance and certainly more than dividends And if you ask me now Would I repeat it Would I fight in a war I don't believe in? Well the answer is its not me here the cancer is They've been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth And after all this time its still deadly hazardous And Bush isn't really being all that inaccurate When he says we winning the war cus its staggering But thats cus we k**in' everybody that we see And most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep And time and time again I'm feeling incompetent Cus my woman back home we constantly arguin' And I must be crazy cus all I'm obsessin' with Is her myspace and facebook and who's commentin' I swear to God if she's cheating I'm doing her a** in I can tell with one look And it came to be something like a song hook Saying Heaven, is there a chance that you can come down And open doors to hurting people like me People like me People like me People like me Yeah, people like me Meet Sarah, the proud mother of young Sebastian Suburban professional, went to college in Ashland In self pity, she suddenly cried Would my life be important if I suddenly died? Neighbours sayin' what a nice woman she was Keepin' mostly to herself ever since the divorce And with the company downsizing in the fall, and all She really shouldn't take it that personal at all It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on his thighs And got a rise from her risin' off the desk though And despite remembering sayin' no plenty of times It was still a damn surprise being let go And now stuck with a mortgage she can't afford And too educated to blame the corporate world She got on welfare, then hated it Case worker powertrippin' and generally being degrading if nothing else she was treated sick, and ineffective Which is the worse thing, that she'd been left with Damn No magic from David Blaine No pain and her pain was plain No Morgan Freeman to narrate the shame So she took refuge in prayer Kind of like finding God in the phonebook and it came to her sounding something like a song hook. 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 Yeah, people like me I guess I told you about myself to a degree Just by telling you about people like me But people like me, they speak politely They don't start no beef for a piece of white meat Everybody gotta eat, but everybody doesn't Which is why I wanna tell you about my favourite cousin He and I grew up where the sun shines And we both partook in the gun crimes And we both liked American rap rhymes Even though we didn't understand one line If you remember my liner notes in my last album I talked about a close call with a grenade I think we both must've been seventh grade But don't panic, we both survived without damage But we developed a bond like we survived the Titanic So when the country became frantic My mother tried to get us out, planned it to the last detail, except the plan got derailed cus there wasn't enough money for the plane tickets How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her So my cousin got left in the war And that's just hard to record But now I take refuge in prayer Kind of like finding God in the phonebook It came to me sounding something like a song hook 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 Yeah, people like me 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 Yeah, people like me
