Just Like You

I just wanna be like you,Walk like, talk like, even think like youThe only one I could look toYou're teaching me to be just like youWell I just gotta be like, likeI just gotta be like you

Dear, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky,Before the Lord get me, I gotta say something quickly, IGrew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me, shoot,I wasn't picky I'd take any male figure youStepped in at the right time,It's 'cuz of you that I write rhymesYou probably never knew thatI loved the way you used to come through,Teach me to do the things that men doTrue, YouShowed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen,But you had barely made it out your teens,Took me under your wingsI wanted hats I wanted clothes just like you,Lean to the side when I roll just like youAin't care if people didn't like you,You wanna bang, I wanna bang tooSkyline, pyruYou woulda died I woulda died tooYou went to prison got sick lost ya pops yeah I cried tooYou never know who's right behind youI got a little son now and he do whatever I doBut it's something deep inside you,That tell you it's gotta be more than doing what other guys do,To have nobody there to guide youBut I followed your footsteps and this shouldn't surprise you,You realize you, You realize you, you,Yeah,

I just wanna be like you,Walk like, talk like, even think like youThe only one I could look to,You're teaching me to be just like youWell I just gotta be like, likeI just gotta be like you

Now all I see is money, cars, jewels, StarsWomanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars,Drug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast lifeEverything I wanted and everything I could ask lifeIf this ain't living and they lied well,Guess I married an old wives' taleWow, failI don't know another way to go,This is the only way they ever showedI got this emptiness inside that got me fighting for approval because I missed out on my daddy saying, way to go,Ain't get that verbal affirmation or know how to treat a woman,Know how to fix an engine,To keep the car runningSo now I'm looking at the media and I'm following what they feed me,Rap stars, trap stars,Whoever wants to lead meEven 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 youThe only one I could look toYou're teaching me to be just like youWell I just gotta be like, likeI just gotta be like you(Like you)

I was created by God but I ain't wanna be like Him,I wanna be HimThe Jack Sparrow of my CaribbeanI remember the first created being,And how he shifted the blame on his dameFor fruit he shouldn't have eaten,And now look at us all out of Eden,Wearing designer fig leaves by Louis VuittonMake-believingBut God sees through my foolish pride,And how I'm weak like Adam, another victim of Lucifer's liesBut then in steps Jesus,All men were created to lead but we needed somebody to lead usMore 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 'cuz we on our jobTaught us not to robBut give life, love a wife like He loved the Church,Without seeing how many hearts we can break firstI wanna be like you in every way,So if I gotta die everydayUnworthy sacrificeBut the least I can do is give the most of meBecause being just like you is what I'm s'pose to beThey said you came for the lame,I'm the lamestI made a mess, but you say you'll erase it,I'll take it...They say you came for the lame,I'm the lamestI broke my life, but you say you'll replace it,I'll take it.

(I just gotta be like... be like... be like... I just gotta be like you...I just gotta be like you)
