^AmI just wanna be like you, Walk like, talk like, even think like y^Fou

You're teaching me to be just like ^Dmyou Well I just gotta be like,^E like, I just gotta be like y^Amou

Dear^Am, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky, B^Fefore the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly I^Dm grew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot, I^E wasn't picky I'd take any male figure you S^Amtepped in at the right time, It's 'cause of y^Fou that I write rhymes

I^Dm loved the way you used to come through, Teach me to ^Edo the things that men do, true Y^Amou showed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen, But you had ba^Frely made it out your teens,

I^Dm wanted hats, I wanted clothes just like you, L^Eean to the side when I rolled just like you D^Amidn't care if people didn't like you, You wanna b^Fang, I wanna bang too

Y^Dmou would've died, I would've died too, You went to p^Erison, got sick, lost your pops,

Y^Amou never know who's right behind you, I got a li^Fttle son now and he do whatever I do B^Dmut it's something deep inside you, That tell you ^Eit's gotta be more than doing what other guys do, Th^Amey had nobody there to guide you But I fol^Flowed your footsteps and this shouldn't surprise you, ^DmYou realize you, you realize y^Eou, you,

^AmI just wanna be like you, Walk like, talk like, even think like y^Fou

You're teaching me to be just like ^Dmyou Well I just gotta be like,^E like, I just gotta be like y^Amou

Now all I see is m^Amoney, cars, jewels, stars W^Fomanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars, D^Dmrug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life Every^Ething I wanted and everything I could ask life I^Amf this ain't living and they lied well, Guess I ma^Frried an old wives' tale; wow, fail I^Dm don't know another way to go, This is the o^Enly way they ever showed I got this emptiness i^Amnside that got me fighting for approval 'Cause I missed out on my da^Fddy saying, way to go, And get that verbal affi^Dmrmation on know how to treat a woman, Know how to fix an en^Egine; that keep the car running So now I'm looking ^Amat the media and I'm following what they feed me, R^Fap stars, trap stars, whoever wants to lead me E^Dmven though they lie they still tell me that they love me, They s^Eay I'm good at bad things at least they proud of me

^AmI just wanna be like you, Walk like, talk like, even think like y^Fou

You're teaching me to be just like ^Dmyou Well I just gotta be like,^E like, I just gotta be like y^Amou

I was cr^Ameated by God but I ain't wanna be like Him; I wanna be Him T^Fhe Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean I rem^Dmember the first created being, And how he shifted the bl^Eame on his dame, for fruit he shouldn't have eaten And now l^Amook at us all out of Eden, Wearing designer fig le^Faves by Louis Vuitton, make believing But God s^Dmees through my foolish pride, And how I'm weak like A^Edam another victim of Lucifer's lies But t^Amhen in steps Jesus, All men were cre^Fated to lead but we needed somebody to lead us M^Dmore than a teacher, But somebody to buy us b^Eack from the darkness, You can say He redeemed us, T^Amaught us that real leaders follow God, Finish the w^Fork 'cause we on our job Taught us not to ^Dmrob, but give life love a wife like He loved the Church, W^Eithout seeing how many hearts we can break first I^Am wanna be like you in every way, So if I go^Ftta die every day, unworthy sacrifice B^Dmut the least I can do is give the most of me '^ECause being just like you is what I'm supposed to be T^Amhey say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest I m^Fade a mess but you say you'll erase it; I'll take it T^Dmhey say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest I^E broke my life, but you say you'll replace it, I'll take it.
