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 kill us so we made up our own laws
Been fighting this long war, there's shells in 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'
Everybody

I be, I gotta be, I gotta 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, 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 nobody has ever done

When I was in seventh grade my 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 that control
It don't really come from here, so can't do nothing but look down on us
We look at them, we see somebody that help
but they look at us and all 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 croak with
The catch gun shots, the old catch the holy ghost
Ho I not, I never seen no pot of gold
Just ball windows and six with no switches
Was broke 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' money for my

I be, I gotta be, I gotta 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, like her only son
I gotta be, I 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 nobody has ever

When most people look at a person who does I
Do they at us with these preconceived notions 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 each other like it
You're looking at a person them that they story don't
Matter when they're no better than me, walkin' the streets tryna 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 through hell 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 feel me when you had to get through that?
We live for they amusement like they view us behind the glass
No matter we grow into, we never gonna escape our past
So in this cage they made for me, exactly where you me at
Whether it's my time to leave or not, I never my back

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