Michael Jordan

I was 14 and losing ground In a black top over town Where no one wins and no ones leaving My dad said "Son, just finish school Because this world can be so cruel" I said " You too" and kept on dreaming I'm nothing like you nothing like you Why don't you know anything about me And I swear somehow I'll make you proud Why you wanna always go and doubt me Story of my life in 1995 A hero in Chicago a legend in my mind A million lonely nights A million times I've tried To jump like Michael Jordan But never quite as high (high) When I was 19 I ran so far They couldn't catch me on the yard I traveled unfamiliar places My dad said "Son, just come back home You won't survive out on your own Your on a fast break running aimless" But I'm nothing like you nothing like you Why don't you believe I have the answers Oh, and I swear somehow I'll make you proud But why can't you just let me take my chances Story of my life in 1995 A hero in Chicago a legend in my mind A million lonely nights A million times I've tried To jump like Michael Jordan But never quite as high I'm 49, the game is mine And every night is overtime I beat the odds and I'm still playing My dad had passed he's been long gone I wish he met my teenage son It's been harden than I though to raise him But I'm just like you so much like you Silent as he's jumping for a layup Oh, but I'm so proud of him I'm so proud But just like you I'm still too scared to say it So I'll say it now Story of my life in 1995 A hero in Chicago a legend in my mind A million lonely nights A million times I've tried To jump like Michael Jordan, oh Story of my life in 1995 A hero in Chicago a legend in my mind A million lonely nights A million times I've tried To jump like Michael Jordan I hope you'll reach the sky I hope you'll reach the sky I hope you'll reach the sky Story of your life in 1995 A hero in Chicago your a legend in my mind
