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 shit I sell for
The higher, the low boy, just me and my
The police kill us so we made up our own
Been fighting this long war, there's shells in this shores
Still young but a grown man, could tell by my
stackin' money and problems as I wait for the rapture
Death never been no threat, I be chillin',
Everybody

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've
I gotta be, I 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
With everything I need, with everything I
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To do it like nobody has ever

When I was in seventh grade my grandfather me don't get caught
Lovin' the streets cause they gonna love you back
But I feel like it's all we got so 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 can't do nothing but look down on us
We look at them, we see somebody that could
but look at us and all they see is a nigga
It don't really matter anyway, we all 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 catch the ghost
Ho I love not, I seen no pot of gold
ball windows and six fours with no switches
Was broke with no bitches, she me though
You'll kill me if it make you richer, you screaming, you my brother for
Heart is where the hatred is, the that stained the love below
And life is you make it so I'm makin' money for my folks

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

When most people at a person who does what I
Do look at us with these preconceived notions as if
It's a set way for us all to be, but we all 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 they story
Matter when they're no better than me, walkin' down the 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 thing you want from anybody
Is to not really have

I been hell and back, I seen my momma cry
Seen my hit the crack then hit the set to flip a sack
I done seen my homies die then went on rides to 'em back
So how you say you feel me when you had to get through that?
We live for they like they view us from 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 or not, I never turn my back

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've
I gotta be, I gotta be, I 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 nobody has ever done
