If Mao could see me now
He'd be rollin' over in his grave
See that I have become a man
That I am no longer a slave
Yes it's true I once was a child
And I remember all those sleepless nights
Naked orphans runnin' wild
Bathe in the warmth under the streetlights
Hometown boy, he's makin' good, now he's takin' a bow
If Mao could see me now
If Mao could see me now
He'd see a smile upon my face
Like a father he'd be so proud
To know I've joined the human race
And he would know it wasn't fake
And he would know it was for real
I got somethin' I can understand
Now show me somethin' I can feel
Hometown boy, he's makin' good, now he's takin' a bow
If Mao could see me now
If Mao could see me now
He could see those tender tears
And he would know the hurt and pain
That I've been goin' through for years and years
Workin' hard and tryna' be like you
Thinkin' it would set me free
But in my heart I know just what to do
And now I'm gonna' be like, like me
Hometown boy, he's makin' good, now he's takin' a bow
If Mao could see me now
If Mao could see me now
