[Intro]
Yeah
Uhuh
Yeah
Somebody shoulda told me it would like this
Be like this
Be like this
[Verse 1:]
Look
Somebody told me it would be like this
A lotta rappers in the game wanna be like this
Hustlin hard, strugglin to get involved
But I'ma blood s**ing creature, need that sh** or I starve
Yeah, uh
And I remember it all
All The pain, all the hunger, all the sh** that I caused
Cuz I was too focused on me, my soul was getting marved
Now when I do listen and see, I can hear my voice call
All these rap lyrics
You ever come into those situations where you really don't know if the demons talking or your spirit
And if it is really is the demon well that's hard to image
And all these judas in my mind, why they playing scrimmage
It's like they messing with my head
Like they playing cricket with me, but it's baseball instead
I really try to wake up early, but they tell me stay in bed
When will the lord show me options I am starting to get fed
Up, with these b**hes
Don't act like you ain't heard that just now, I'm talking down to all you b**hes
These witches come for the riches, I know that all you fishes
Want a real n***a that comes from a real and true lineage
But I'ma do my thing and bust my rhymes
Don't pay no shawty attention, I truly want no dimes
Just focusing on the one and only mission a**igned
To rid this earth and creation of all these dolla signs
Man, sometimes I really get myself depressed
Maybe the fact that I'm so goddamn deep in this debt
It hurts when I see my friends always making those cheeno flex
While they be losing their money, why you still tryna bet?
Why you still tryna go out there yourself and be the best?
Why you still trying so hard and bad to feed the rest?
These n***as don't give a damn bout what you just expressed
Man, I'm 20 years old now I shoulda guessed
Well damn, I really shoulda guessed
All these problems I'm facing now, man I shoulda guessed
When my momma and poppa told me I should invest
For All this pa**ion and knowledge is hidden in my chest
Like, you think you got what it takes?
You really think that you can make it in the land of the snakes?
And often end up in positions that will make you or break
All the feelings you were trying so hard not to awake
Cuz.......
[Chorus]
Somebody really told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
My momma poppa told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
They told me it was always gonna be like this, be like this, be like this
And when the sun comes up it'll still stay like this, you know it always was like this
[Verse 2:]
Ayo
Times are getting hard
I was really contemplating to try and sell rocks
But I understand I'm not meant for that type of job
At times I felt like calling my mom so I could sob yo
And I know it's kinda soft
But you gotta be real so the light can hit the spot
And you gotta conceal, not a sight, not to get caught
Shoot me right in the feels cuz I think I just forgot that I
Left my memories in the dark
Drugs mess with your mind cannot recall any thoughts
Like a dog in a park searching for sh** I'm so lost
I just hope that one day I can connect all the dots
And figure out what I want in life
Not that rapper sh** but really what I want in life
On some dapper sh**, I think I wanna plan a trip
And go around the world and try to help all the kids
Word to christ....
[Outro]
I want to be righteous.....
I want to be righteous.....
