Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it like it is, how it could be

or hell boy, freedom or jail boy
A Jansport bag full of 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, could tell by my
Been stackin' money and problems as I for the rapture
Death never no threat, I be chillin', relaxin'
bleed

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 make my momma proud, feel like her son
I gotta be, I 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 ever

When I was in grade my grandfather told me don't get caught
Lovin' the streets they never gonna love 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 problem is the people control
It don't really come from here, so they do nothing but look down on us
We look at them, we see somebody that help
but they at us and all they 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 the holy ghost
Ho I love not, I seen no pot of gold
Just ball and six fours with no switches
Was broke with no bitches, she love me
You'll kill me if it make you richer, what you screaming, you my for
is where the hatred 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 be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things done
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make my proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
With I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it like has ever done

When people look 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 why we don't treat each other like it
You're looking at a person telling them that story don't
when they're no better than me, walkin' down the streets tryna shoot at somebody
'Cause all we got is these dreams man and ain't never had to not have nothing
And that's the last thing you want anybody
Is to not really have

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

I gotta be, I be, I gotta 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, like her only son
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, everything I want
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like nobody has done
