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 kill us so we made up our own
Been fighting this long war, shells in this shores sand
Still young but a man, could tell by my stash
stackin' money and problems as I wait for the rapture
Death never been no threat, I be chillin',
bleed

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

When I was in seventh grade my grandfather told me don't get
Lovin' the streets cause they gonna love you back
But I feel 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 don't come from here, so they 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 don't really anyway, we all gon' die one day man, one day

Do doves cry the black man dies, or do we croak with crows
The catch gun shots, the old catch the holy ghost
Ho I not, I never seen no pot of gold
ball windows and six fours 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 brain stained the love below
And life is what you 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, the things I've done
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To make my momma proud, feel like her son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
With everything I need, everything 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 what I
Do they look at us 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 treat each like it
You're looking at a telling them that they story don't
Matter they're no better than me, walkin' down the streets tryna shoot at somebody
'Cause all we got is these man and y'all ain't never had to not have nothing
And that's the last thing you want anybody
Is to not have nothing

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 to kill 'em back
So how you say you feel me when you never had to get through
We for they amusement like they view us from behind the glass
No what we grow into, we never gonna escape our past
So in this they made for me, exactly where you find me at
Whether it's my time to or not, I never turn my back

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 be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, everything I want
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To do it like has ever done
