Just Like You-Lecrae/J. Paul/Courtney Peebles/Jacob Morris/Jared Foster

I just wanna be like you Walk like talk like even think like you The only one I could look to You're teaching me to be just like you Well I just gotta be like like I just gotta be like you Dear Uncle Chris Uncle Keith Uncle Ricky Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly I grew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot I wasn't picky I'd take any male figure You Stepped in at the right time It's 'cause of you that I write rhymes You probably never knew that I loved the way you used to come through Teach me to do the things that men do True You showed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen But you had barely made it out your teens And took me under your wings I wanted hats I wanted clothes just like you Lean to the side when I rolled just like you Didn't care if people didn't like you You wanna bang I wanna bang too Skyline pyru You would've died I would've died too You went to prison got sick lost your pops Yeah I cried too You never know who's right behind you I got a little son now and he do whatever I do But it's something deep inside you That tell you it's gotta be more than doing what other guys do They had nobody there to guide you But I followed your footsteps and this shouldn't surprise you You realize you you realize you you Yeah I just wanna be like you I just wanna be like you Walk like talk like even think like you The only one I could look to You're teaching me to be just like you Well I just gotta be like like I just gotta be like you Now all I see is money cars jewels Stars Womanizers tough guys guns knives and scars D**g pushers thugs strippers fast girls fast life Everything I wanted and everything I could ask life If this ain't living and they lied well Guess I married an old wives' tale Wow fail I don't know another way to go This is the only way they ever showed I got this emptiness inside that got me fighting for approval 'cause I missed out on my daddy saying way to go And get that verbal affirmation on know how to treat a woman Know how to fix an engine That keep the car running So now I'm looking at the media and I'm following what they feed me Rap stars trap stars Whoever wants to lead me Even though they lie they still tell me that they love me They say I'm good at bad things at least they proud of me I just wanna be like you Walk like talk like even think like you The only one I could look to You're teaching me to be just like you Well I just gotta be like like I just gotta be like you Like you I was created by God but I ain't wanna be like Him I wanna be Him The Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean I remember the first created being And how he shifted the blame on his dame For fruit he shouldn't have eaten And now look at us all out of Eden Wearing designer fig leaves by Louis Vuitton Make believing But God sees through my foolish pride And how I'm weak like Adam another victim of Lucifer's lies But then in steps Jesus All men were created to lead but we needed somebody to lead us More than a teacher But somebody to buy us back from the darkness You can say He redeemed us Taught us that real leaders follow God Finish the work 'cause we on our job Taught us not to rob But give life love a wife like He loved the Church Without seeing how many hearts we can break first I wanna be like you in every way So if I gotta die every day Unworthy sacrifice But the least I can do is give the most of me 'Cause being just like you is what I'm supposed to be They say you came for the lame I'm the lamest I made a mess but you say you'll erase it I'll take it They say you came for the lame I'm the lamest I broke my life but you say you'll replace it I'll take it. I just gotta be like be like be like. Be like be like I just gotta be like be like. I just gotta be like you
