I'm just like you

I'm looking for a love, like everyone else,
I have a cut from my first love, the same one I know you felt,
It's no different for me,
I feel pain just the same,
My heart also has a key, as well as my brain,
You walk, I walk,
You can speak and yes, I can talk,
My skin may be lighter,
My eyes may be a different color,
No matter blood in my viens or water,
You're still my brother,
Your chest rises when you breath and last time I checked mine did the same,
You want money and prestige,
I just want people to remember my name,
I worry about how I look,
I worry about how I smell,
I dream about making it big and changing the image of all young black males,
That's my motivation, my inspiration, my occupation,
But you might not have that same aspiration,
You want to live the good life,
I want to stay out of the hood,
If we were to trade places you"d probably do quite good,
Years go on and both our features have matured,
The boyish qualities we have some people still adore,
An acquired taste is what we are,
We set ourselves apart,
But when nobody's father was around you stepped up on that part,
Since I am younger I wanted to follow your path,
So I became C.E.K(seek) while you turned into Ca$h,
You walk around singing so I thought I'd do the same,
We both went away for some time but I still couldn't find my own thing,
You had your troubles,
I had my troubles too,
But seeing you mess up helped me learn what not to do,
I took your mistakes and found a way to not make them,
But that led to new problems and I wasn't ready to face them,
You been through hell and back,
I respect you for that,
And while you were locked down I was here,
And I wrote you letters to let you know I took our troubles and took responsibility for them and put them on my back,
It's always so long between the times I visit,
I know for Birthday and x-mas you blew it down,
And I could only say damn because I knew I was gon' miss it,
But I see you working hard,
And I see you making moves,
A dedication to my brother,
Since we were younger I wanted to be just like you
