"Like Me" lyrics
Who's king? You're looking at him right here my brother
The original. Y'know what I'm saying?
Kingdom Islam. Nation of God
For I'm the one that rocks so hard. Y'know what I'm saying?
Always rockin' the jazziest car
The only and the original magnetic king
And that's the one still sitting here doing his thing
You're from a hard village like me?
Used to get it on nightly
Made you resilient like me?
Shows you what the world might be
Never took nothing lightly?
Then you like
Quote me
It ain't dope if wrote trope for esteem and a trophy
Can tell I got vision you can't control, not even remotely
You see it's real, even keel, even when demon approach me
Made it quite clear I bring nightmare if you dream to provoke me
Was child already growling, the belly of the beast, a C-section
Everything they breathe is meant to deceive, so we question
Deep blows of grief, got my robes to teach if you seek lesson
Through the declines failed numerous times had to keep pressing
They waived the rules, but paid my dues when they was holster fees
Acquired sermon and edited until higher learning accredited, I wrote degrees
I propose a toast to those who did the most to bring home the groceries
For papes a couple greats never left the States, still died over C's
'Cept for Blacks to get bread, had to pump-a-nickle
Not coming to play, gun with a ray, couldn't wait till somethin' trickle
Me and my man ran down what we can, wasn't hunting fickle
Tryna get rich palms, if had to lift arms, won't nothing tickle
They fault me, few honeys gave me their sugar now they salty
In the plaza handling a G, gambling with free, but it was costly
There's no promo, did it all solo, imagine if they endorsed me
But my nature was naughty, used other people's paper to support me
Of days behaved with treachery, was the only way to raise the equity
Those who protected me especially could've been charged with accessory
No plush life, type to bust pipes, try to pressure me
Definitely professionally working at a desk wasn't my destiny
Get one turn in this tournament, of course nothing soft on this firmament
If this art ain't churning from your heart, you shouldn't murmur it
You fittin' to freeze if you ain't committing the deeds that's earning it
I ain't from where there's many temp murders, these is permanent
I'm glad on the savage ground of wrathin', I found a passion
The plight was grim, if I ain't write the hymn might've been town assassin
Lost as a foundling into action, wasn't sittin' round relaxin'
Was 'bout getting quiet trappin', not caught in their sound contraption
Go get your thinkin' cap, I'm rhymin'
You know how I get down, this that thinkin' rap for climbin'
Much could tell they just a shell, they lack the lining
On each cut you see the definition, I'm back defining
You're from a hard village like me?
Used to get it on nightly
Made you resilient like me?
Shows you what the world might be
Never took nothin' lightly?
Then you like me
You like me
You're from a hard village like me?
Used to get it on nightly
Made you resilient like me?
Shows you what the world might be
Never took nothin' lightly?
Then you like me
You (might be) like me
Like me
Like me
Made you like me
The original. Y'know what I'm saying?
Kingdom Islam. Nation of God
For I'm the one that rocks so hard. Y'know what I'm saying?
Always rockin' the jazziest car
The only and the original magnetic king
And that's the one still sitting here doing his thing
You're from a hard village like me?
Used to get it on nightly
Made you resilient like me?
Shows you what the world might be
