Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it like it is, how it could be

Heaven or boy, freedom or jail boy
A Jansport bag full of shit I could for
The higher, the low boy, me and my homeboys
The police us so we made up our own laws
Been fighting this long war, shells in this shores sand
Still young but a grown man, tell by my stash
Been money and problems as I wait for the rapture
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 proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
With I need, with everything I want
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To do it like has ever done

When I was in seventh grade my grandfather told me get caught
the streets cause they never gonna love you back
But I feel like it's all we got so it's all we do love
At the end of the day I feel like the is the people that 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 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 and six fours with no switches
Was broke with no bitches, she me though
kill me if it make you richer, what you screaming, you my brother for
Heart is where the hatred is, the brain that stained the below
And life is what you make it so I'm makin' for my folks

I gotta be, I gotta be, I 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 momma proud, feel like her son
I be, I gotta be, I gotta 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 most people 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 wonder why we don't treat each other it
looking at a person telling them that they story don't
Matter when they're no better 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 the last thing you want from anybody
Is to not really nothing

I through hell and back, I seen my momma cry
Seen my father hit the 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 you never had to get through that?
We live for amusement like they view us from behind the glass
No what we grow into, we never gonna escape our past
So in this cage they made for me, exactly you find me at
Whether my time to leave 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 my momma proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I 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 nobody has ever done
