…this way."
With fingers crossed I follow him and I hope it's my lucky day
All I wanted to be was a part time man
(That's all)
All I…
…wanted to be was a part time man
(That's all, that's all)
All I wanted to be was a part time man
I went back to the waiting room…
…to my old and faithful cat
I turned off the light in my eyes and that's the end, that
Oh yeah
All I wanted to be was a part time man…

But you lost your turn
(But you lost your turn)
But you lost your turn
(But you lost your turn)
All I wanted to be was…
…one of your children
All I wanted to be was one of yours
See how clean the water is where you are
Wash off your handcuffs
Know the hidden messages…
…tricked your mind to feel)
You tricked your mind
All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was…

…on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
It don't matter to me
All I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar…
Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist
It don't matter to me
All I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more…
…right back up again
Come back stronger than a powered-up Pacman
It don't matter to me
All I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar
[Chorus: x2]…

…[Intro]
[?] a little trying to sleep, homie
'Cause I ain't phony, yeah I go
Real life right here, feel my pain
[Hook]
All I…
…wanted to be was a soldier, a soldier
All I wanted to be was a soldier, like me
All I wanted to be was a soldier, a soldier
Hustle…
…to stay true
'Cause all I wanted to be was a soldier, see?
All I wanted to be was a soldier like P
[Outro]
Y'all know what I meant, man
I…

…to be so thick in the air
All I wanted to be was a iller MC
[Hook: Chefket]
Mikrofon an.. gib mir 'n Beat
Ich bin so entspannt, nick…
…nun wie die ganze Geschichte sich schrieb'
Chefket..Ich bin MC
[Cuts]
If this speak survive they might change her
All I wanted to be was…
…they might change her
(Scratch) 'cus we finally here
Hip Hop used to be so thick in the air
All I wanted to be was a iller MC

The imperfection in me
I built my castle
I built my walls
To protect me from all the world holds
All i wanted to be was…
…from all the world holds
All i wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that i take
Have made me to what/who I…
…am
There's so much more in me
So much more to set free
It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be
All I wanted to be was…

…your heart into me
If all you wanted was love
Why would you use me up
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
When all I wanted to be was…
…use me up
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
Settle down, build…
…a boat, and sail away
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?…

…[Intro: Layzie]
Soldiers
All I wanted to be, was a soldier, soldier
All I wanted to be, was a soldier, soldier
All I wanted to be, was…

…scream
I'm so afraid to die alone
And all I wanted to be was your hero
Hold on... my love... hold on...
I hardly sleep…
…with me I scream
I'm so afraid to die alone
And all I wanted to be was your hero
Hold on... my love... hold on...
Cause I would wait…
…with me I scream
I'm so afraid to die alone
And all I wanted to be was your hero
Hold on... my love... hold on…

Don't you see
All I wanted to be
Was just like you
And here I am
Guitar in my hand
And I'm just like you
Don't you see
All I…
…wanted to be
Was just like you
And here I am
Packed my bags and ran
And I'm just like you
Don't you see
All I wanted to be
Was just like you
And so ill go
Still love you though…

…on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic
It don't matter to me
'Cause all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere…
…all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar
And oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been…
