Kirk Knight - Like Me lyrics

[Produced by J Dilla & The Roots] [Intro: Joey Bada$$] One time, what's the word What's the word, what's the word Yo yo yo yo yo, yo yo Turn me up on the headphones Two times, twist the herb Twist the herb, twist the herb Yo yo yo yo yo, yo [Verse 1: Joey Bada$$] If looks could k** I let the swa*k drill like a deadly weapon I drop bombs on an enemy at any second, uh Look at me wrong I turn you to tombstone Lock you in the crosshairs and you gone then I throw my deuce up Sip sangritas with your señorita, like me gusta See what that early morning co*k will do up to your rooster I bet my co*kiness will boost her confidence Then you gon' wonder where your highness went [Hook: Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid] I bet she get low for a n***a like me She get low for a n***a like me Bet she get low for a n***a like me Low for a n***a like me [Verse 2: Joey Bada$$] So we burn the Mary Jane till the third degree Some n***as biting flows yo, that's burglary Same n***as acting like they never heard of me A f** n***a could get clocked, yo that's word to me [Hook: Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid] He get blown for a n***a like me Get his head exposed for a n***a like me Put him on the floor for a n***a like me [Verse 3: Joey Bada$$] Yo, my mind boggles when time toggles In the ocean of stars it's hard to find goggles, we twisted up So we put it in the air, don't let the J's start unravelling We getting blown like a javelin She throw it back like she time traveling Rocked the boat so well, she jumped out and started paddling I'm screaming "Land, ho!" 'bout to hit for sure I motorboat it slow then I ripped the flow I'm pretty sure, like nice beaches that Even at my weakest I still leave 'em speechless How you like those peaches? Find me rotting the apple 'Bout to bump so plump, 'bout to lock in the grapple Feeling like the highest man about to tackle Facts like the tat under the cap of the Snapple Cats get decapitated for acting a fool Blacks get their a** sprayed just for making a move [Hook: Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid] We get high and say "f** the police" That's why we get high and say "f** the police" That's why we get high and say "f** the police" Yo [Verse 4: Joey Bada$$] Cause every time I make a move they be sweating me They want another black man in penitentiary It's even hard for that man standing next to me Cause he could catch a bullet that was really meant for me It's like every step bring me close to destiny And every breath I get closer to the d**h of me I'm just tryna carry out my own legacy But the place I call home ain't letting me [Hook: Joey Bada$$] Cause you can't get by if you don't respect an OG You can't get by if you don't respect an OG You can't get by if you don't respect an OG [Verse 5: Joey Bada$$] Cause every corner I turn a n***a testing me And every morning I mourn just for the less of me Sometimes I ask the Lord why he be blessing me And not my brothers whose souls now rest in peace [Hook: Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid] I pray there's hope for a n***a like me Hope for a n***a like me Just pray there's hope for a n***a like me [Verse 6: Joey Bada$$] I'm something like the chairman of the board, ranting I feel invincible like McMannon One of the last original emcees that's left standing on the planet Strike like a meteor, do remedial damage, damn it Cats can't stand it, get they a** handed and branded By the lyrical New York City bandit True Warrior like Rembrandt Yo some cats claim they fly but really been landed I really can't stand it, let me take a seat This where Rosa Parks her bum now make some room for me PE in your beeper, hun you can read it and weep My old hoes call me now, leave a message after the beep I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak I just wanna beat, girl, I just wanna beat I just wanna be free [Hook: Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid] I pray there's hope for a n***a like me I pray there's hope for a n***a like me I pray there's hope for a n***a like me Hope for a n***a like me I pray there's hope for a n***a like me, for a n***a like me I pray there's hope for a n***a like me, for a n***a like me I pray there's hope for a n***a like me, for a n***a like me I pray there's hope for a n***a like me, for a n***a like me Compton to Bed-Stuy Hope for a n***a like me Hope for a n***a like me Hope for a n***a like me
