A minorAm FF DmDm E MajorE A minorAm


[Chorus]

A minorAm
I just wanna be like you,
                    FF
Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to
                  DmDm
You're teaching me to be just like you
             E MajorE
Well I just gotta be like, like,
           A minorAm
I just gotta be like you

[Verse 1]

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, I just wanna be like you

[Chorus]

A minorAm
I just wanna be like you,
                    FF
Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to
                  DmDm
You're teaching me to be just like you
             E MajorE
Well I just gotta be like, like,
           A minorAm
I just gotta be like you


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

A minorAm
I just wanna be like you,
                    FF
Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to
                  DmDm
You're teaching me to be just like you
             E MajorE
Well I just gotta be like, like,
           A minorAm
I just gotta be like you

(Like you)


[Verse 3]

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