Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it it is, then how it could be

or hell boy, freedom or jail boy
A Jansport bag of shit I could sell for
The higher, the low boy, me and my homeboys
The police us so we made up our own laws
Been fighting this war, there's shells in this shores sand
Still young but a grown man, could by my stash
Been stackin' money and problems as I wait for the
never been no threat, I be chillin', relaxin'
Everybody

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

When I was in seventh grade my grandfather told me don't get
Lovin' the streets cause they never gonna you back
But I like it's all we got so it's all we really do love
At the end of the day I feel like the 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 could help
but they look at us and all see is a nigga
It don't matter anyway, we all gon' die one day man, one day

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

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

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

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

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