Just Like You chords by Lecrae

[Intro]

Am F Dm E Am


[Chorus]

Am
I just wanna be like you,
                    F
Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to
                  Dm
You're teaching me to be just like you
             E
Well I just gotta be like, like,
           Am
I just gotta be like you

[Verse 1]

  Am
Dear, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky,
 F
Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly
 Dm
I grew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot,
 E
I wasn't picky I'd take any male figure you
 Am
Stepped in at the right time,
        F
It's 'cause of you that I write rhymes

You probably never knew that
 Dm
I loved the way you used to come through,
      E
Teach me to do the things that men do, true
 Am
You showed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen,
       F
But you had barely made it out your teens,

And took me under your wings
 Dm
I wanted hats, I wanted clothes just like you,
 E
Lean to the side when I rolled just like you
 Am
Didn't care if people didn't like you,
      F
You wanna bang, I wanna bang too

Skyline, pyru
 Dm
You would've died, I would've died too,
       E
You went to prison, got sick, lost your pops,

Yeah, I cried too
 Am
You never know who's right behind you,
     F
I got a little son now and he do whatever I do
 Dm
But it's something deep inside you,
       E
That tell you it's gotta be more than doing what other guys do,
 Am
They had nobody there to guide you
     F
But I followed your footsteps and this shouldn't surprise you,
Dm              E
You realize you, you realize you, you,

Yeah, I just wanna be like you


[Chorus]

Am
I just wanna be like you,
                    F
Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to
                  Dm
You're teaching me to be just like you
             E
Well I just gotta be like, like,
           Am
I just gotta be like you


[Verse 2]

         Am
Now all I see is money, cars, jewels, stars
 F
Womanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars,
 Dm
Drug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life
   E
Everything I wanted and everything I could ask life
 Am
If this ain't living and they lied well,
     F
Guess I married an old wives' tale; wow, fail
 Dm
I don't know another way to go,
       E
This is the only way they ever showed
           Am
I got this emptiness inside that got me fighting for approval
              F
'Cause I missed out on my daddy saying, way to go,
            Dm
And get that verbal affirmation on know how to treat a woman,
           E
Know how to fix an engine; that keep the car running
          Am
So now I'm looking at the media and I'm following what they feed me,
 F
Rap stars, trap stars, whoever wants to lead me
 Dm
Even though they lie they still tell me that they love me,
   E
They say I'm good at bad things at least they proud of me


[Chorus]

Am
I just wanna be like you,
                    F
Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to
                  Dm
You're teaching me to be just like you
             E
Well I just gotta be like, like,
           Am
I just gotta be like you

(Like you)


[Verse 3]

    Am
I was created by God but I ain't wanna be like Him; I wanna be Him
 F
The Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean
   Dm
I remember the first created being,
             E
And how he shifted the blame on his dame, for fruit he shouldn't have eaten
     Am
And now look at us all out of Eden,
            F
Wearing designer fig leaves by Louis Vuitton, make believing
     Dm
But God sees through my foolish pride,
            E
And how I'm weak like Adam another victim of Lucifer's lies
   Am
But then in steps Jesus,
        F
All men were created to lead but we needed somebody to lead us
 Dm
More than a teacher,
            E
But somebody to buy us back from the darkness, You can say He redeemed us,
 Am
Taught us that real leaders follow God,
      F
Finish the work 'cause we on our job
         Dm
Taught us not to rob, but give life love a wife like He loved the Church,
 E
Without seeing how many hearts we can break first
 Am
I wanna be like you in every way,
     F
So if I gotta die every day, unworthy sacrifice
 Dm
But the least I can do is give the most of me
 E
'Cause being just like you is what I'm supposed to be
 Am
They say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest
  F
I made a mess but you say you'll erase it; I'll take it
 Dm
They say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest
 E
I broke my life, but you say you'll replace it, I'll take it.


[Outro]

Am F Dm E
