Daddy went for a walk just the other day 
With my daddy right beside me
Son what you wanna be when you grow up
I dont want to be no police man
cause crime is getting out a hand
No lawyer no fire-man
He said what you gonna be then
(Chorus)
Just like you
Mi never ever si yo dis my mommy
Take care a mi youth like yo take care a mi
That's who I wanna be
Just like you, yea
Nuff youth don't know dem daddy
