Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it it is, then how it could be

Heaven or hell boy, freedom or boy
A Jansport bag of shit I could sell for
The higher, the low boy, me and my homeboys
The kill us so we made up our own laws
Been this long war, there's shells in this shores sand
Still young but a grown man, tell by my stash
Been stackin' money and problems as I wait for the
Death been no threat, I be chillin', relaxin'
bleed

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To my momma proud, feel like her only son
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
With I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To do it like nobody has done

When I was in seventh grade my grandfather told me don't get
Lovin' the cause they never gonna love you back
But I feel it's all we got so it's all we really do love
At the end of the day I like the problem is the people that control
It really come from here, so they can't do nothing but look down on us
We look at them, we see somebody that could
but they at us and all they see is a nigga
It really matter anyway, we all gon' die one day man, one day

Do doves cry when the black man dies, or do we with crows
The young catch gun shots, the old catch the ghost
Ho I love not, I never no pot of gold
Just ball windows and six fours with no
Was with no bitches, she love me though
You'll kill me if it make you richer, what you screaming, you my for
Heart is where the hatred is, the that stained the love below
And life is what you make it so I'm makin' for my folks

I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To my momma proud, feel like her only son
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
everything I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it like nobody has done

When most people at a person who does what I
Do they look at us with these preconceived as if
a set way for us all to be, but we all people at the end
Of the day so I wonder why we don't treat each like it
You're looking at a person telling that they story don't
Matter when they're no better than me, walkin' down the streets shoot at somebody
'Cause all we got is these dreams man and y'all ain't never had to not nothing
And the last thing you want from anybody
Is to not have nothing

I been through hell and back, I seen my cry
Seen my father hit the crack then hit the set to a sack
I done seen my homies die then went on to kill 'em back
So how you say you feel me when you never had to get that?
We live for amusement like they view us from behind the glass
No matter what we grow into, we never gonna escape our
So in this cage they for me, exactly where you find me at
Whether it's my time to leave or not, I turn my back

I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To make it up to heaven, the things I've done
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To make my momma proud, like her only son
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
With I need, with everything I want
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like has ever done
