| I just wanna be like you, walk like, talk like, even think like you. | |
| The only one | |
| I could look to, you're teachin' me to be just like you. | |
| Well I just gotta be like, like | |
| I just gotta be like you. | |
| Dear Uncle | |
| Chris, Uncle | |
| Keith, Uncle | |
| Ricky, before the | |
| Lord get me | |
| I gotta say somethin' quickly. | |
| I grew up different since my daddy wasn't with me, shoot, i wasn't picky, | |
| I'd take any male figure, you stepped in at the right time. | |
| It's cause of you that | |
| I write rhymes. | |
| You prolly never knew that. | |
| I love the way you used to come through, teach me to do the things that men do. | |
| True, you showed me stuff | |
| I prolly shouldn't of seen, but you had barely made it out your teens, took me under your wings. | |
| I wanted hats, | |
| I wanted clothes just like you, lean to the side when | |
| I roll just like you, didn't care if people didn't like you. you wanna bang, | |
| I wanna bang too, | |
| Skyline Pyrue. | |
| You woulda died, | |
| I woulda died too. | |
| You went to prison, got sick, lost your pops yeah | |
| I cried too. | |
| You never know who's right behind you, | |
| I got a little son now, and he do whatever | |
| I do. But it's something deep inside you, that tell you its gotta be more than doin' what other guys do. | |
| Didn't have nobody there to guide you, but | |
| I followed your footsteps and this shouldn't suprise you. | |
| You realize you, you realize you, you, yeah | |
| I just wanna be like you. | |
| I just wanna be like you, walk like, talk like, even think like you. | |
| The only one | |
| I could look to. | |
| You're teachin' me to be just like you, well | |
| I just gotta be like, like | |
| I just gotta be like you. | |
| Now all I see is money, cars, jewels, stars, womanizers, tuff guys, guns, knives, and scars, drug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life, "everything I wanted and everything I could ask" life. | |
| If this aint livin' then they lied well. | |
| Guess I married an old wive's tale. | |
| Wow. Fail. | |
| I don't know another way to go, this is the only way they ever show. | |
| I got this emptiness inside that got me fightin' for approval cause | |
| I missed out on my daddy sayin, "Way to go." didn't get that verbal affirmation don't know how to treat a woman, how to fix an engine, to keep the car runnin'. | |
| So now I'm lookin at the media and | |
| I'm followin' what they feed me. | |
| Rap stars, trap stars, whoever wants to lead me. | |
| Even though they lie they still tell me that they love me. | |
| They say I'm good at bad things, at least they proud of me. | |
| I just wanna be like you, walk like, talk like, even think like you. | |
| The only one | |
| I could look to. | |
| You're teachin' me to be just like you. | |
| Well I just gotta be like, like | |
| I just gotta be like you. | |
| I was created by | |
| God but I ain't wanna be like | |
| Him, I wanna be | |
| Him. The Jack | |
| Sparrow of my | |
| Carribean. | |
| I remember the first created bein', and how he shifted the blame on his dane for food he shouldn't of eaten'. | |
| And I look at us all out of | |
| Eden. Wearing designer fig leaves by | |
| Louie Vuitton make believin'. | |
| But God sees through my foolish pride, an how | |
| I'm weak like | |
| Adam, another victim of lucifer's lies. | |
| Then in steps | |
| Jesus. All men were created to lead, but we needed somebody to lead us. | |
| More than a teacher, but somebody to buy us back from the darkness, you can say | |
| He redeemed us. | |
| Taught us that real leaders follow | |
| God, finish the work cause we on our job. | |
| Taught us not to rob, but give life. | |
| Love a wife like | |
| He loved the | |
| Church, without seein' how many hearts we can break first. | |
| I wanna be like you in every way. | |
| So if I gotta die every day, unworthy sacrifice, but the least | |
| I can do is give the most of me. | |
| Cause bein' just like you is what | |
| I'm supposed to be. | |
| They say you came for the lame, | |
| I'm the lamest. | |
| I made a mess, but you say you'll erase it. | |
| I'll take it. | |
| They say you came for the lame, | |
| I'm the lamest. | |
| I broke my life, but you say you'll replace it. | |
| I'll take it. | |
| I just gotta be like, be like. | |
| I just gotta be like, be like. | |
| I just gotta be like you. |
