[Verse 1]
Born in West London, May '97
To a single mother, had her heart broken
Da da da dun, da da da dun
A melting pot, my city was an ocean
I could dip my toes in, everybody dove in
Da da da dun, da da da dun

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know, and I know
When my tears dry
A part of you is a half of me
But I feel so alone on the inside
The child in me can't get no peace

[Chorus]
Mother, I feel just like you
But don't see me in you
The world don't treat me like you, na na
Mother, I feel just like you
And I hate that it's true
But the world don't treat me like you, na na eh

[Verse 2]
May '05, we packed up our cases
Small fumеs replaced with all new facеs
Na na na na, na na na na
Lost in my own skin, not like the others
Tired of the questions, "Is she your real mother?"
Na na na na, na na na na
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know, and I know
When my tears dry
A part of you is a half of me
But I feel so alone on the inside
The child in me can't get no peace

[Chorus]
Mother, I feel just like you
But don't see me in you
The world don't treat me like you, na na
Mother, I feel just like you
And I hate that it's true
But the world don't treat me like you, na na eh

[Outro]
Mother, I feel just like you
And I hate that it's true
But the world don't treat me like you, na na eh
