Just Like You ft. Merci Lyrics

You know what really puzzles me in life

Sometimes it's the fact that we look around

But we never look up though

Talk them Merci

Role models

They want to be like

Who they really see on the tv screen

But it's not what it seems

It's much more in store for you

Forget standing on the block getting shot

It's much more in store for you

Jeezy made it snow

I'm a make it rain hope

Yeah yeah

Who do you really fear

Who you really feel

Busting out of my shell

Won't bust from pressure by my peers

They wanna judge

Because I'm giving hope to dope boys

Tell them walk by faith and just go for it

See every sinner has a past

We've been washed clean

At my best I'm still a filthy rag I agree

We have other crack babies

In the 9th Ward chopping it up

About somebody who'll fight for them

What's the problem with just normalizing love

Lifting up the ones who never looked like us

Lifting up the ones who

Really had it rough

Praying for them really just because

They're watching how they bust it for the gram

Cursing out your kinfolks

We use to raise the bar now we lower it like limbo

What happened to your morals and your self value

They tell them take care

It's never be careful

Role models

They want to be like

Who they really see on the tv screen

But it's not what it seems

Why do we always

Resort to violence

I mean sort a kind of

Put my picture in the dictionary

It won't define me

Just because you're sleeping on the floor

In an empty room

Doesn't mean the world's sleeping on you

They just hit the snooze

Well well let me wake them up

Just making it out the hood ain't enough

When you've got kids in your backyard starving

Claiming you're a general

Boy you're sorry

They're trash talking on the corner

Hit the block and litter

I'm asking you homie

Get the block rebuild it

And do for the ones who never seen it done before

Everybody loves when you score more

Even if you never make it to the league

You can still shoot your shot

Dream dream dream

Who said it was this way

Because it's got a be

Nothing but blessings over here

We're out of poverty

Role models

They want to be like

Who they really see on the tv screen

But it's not what it seems

It's much more in store for you

Forget standing on the block getting shot

It's much more in store for you

Jeezy made it snow

I'm a make it rain hope

Yeah yeah
