Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it like it is, then how it be

Heaven or 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, there's shells in this shores
Still young but a grown man, could by my stash
stackin' money and problems as I wait for the rapture
Death been no threat, I be chillin', relaxin'
bleed

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 be, I gotta be the one
To make my momma proud, feel her only son
I gotta be, I gotta be, I 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 ever

I was in seventh grade my grandfather told me don't get caught
Lovin' the streets cause 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 the problem is the people that control
It don't really 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 really matter anyway, we all gon' die one day man, one day

Do doves cry when the black man dies, or do we croak crows
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 fours no switches
Was broke with no bitches, she love me
You'll kill me if it make you richer, you screaming, you my brother for
is where the hatred is, the brain that stained the love below
And life is what you make it so I'm makin' for my folks

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To it up to heaven, despite the things I've 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 everything I need, with I want
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it like has ever done

When most look at a person who does 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 each other like it
You're looking at a person telling them 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 dreams man and y'all ain't never had to not nothing
And that's the last thing you want from
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 never had to get through
We live for they amusement like they view us from the glass
No matter what we grow into, we never gonna escape our
So in this cage they made for me, exactly you find me at
Whether it's my time to leave or not, I never turn my

I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, despite the 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 gotta be, I 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 done
