[Intro]
Am  F  Dm E Am
[Chorus]
AmI just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like yFou
The only one I could look to
You're teaching me to be just like Dmyou
Well I just gotta be like, Elike,
I just gotta be like yAmou
[Verse 1]
DearAm, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky,
BFefore the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly
I Dmgrew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot,
I Ewasn't picky I'd take any male figure you
SAmtepped in at the right time,
It's 'cause of yFou that I write rhymes
You probably never knew that
I Dmloved the way you used to come through,
Teach me to Edo the things that men do, true
YAmou showed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen,
But you had baFrely made it out your teens,
And took me under your wings
I Dmwanted hats, I wanted clothes just like you,
LEean to the side when I rolled just like you
DAmidn't care if people didn't like you,
You wanna bFang, I wanna bang too
Skyline, pyru
YDmou would've died, I would've died too,
You went to pErison, got sick, lost your pops,
Yeah, I cried too
YAmou never know who's right behind you,
I got a liFttle son now and he do whatever I do
BDmut it's something deep inside you,
That tell you Eit's gotta be more than doing what other guys do,
ThAmey had nobody there to guide you
But I folFlowed your footsteps and this shouldn't surprise you,
DmYou realize you, you realize yEou, you,
Yeah, I just wanna be like you
[Chorus]
AmI just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like yFou
The only one I could look to
You're teaching me to be just like Dmyou
Well I just gotta be like, Elike,
I just gotta be like yAmou
[Verse 2]
Now all I see is mAmoney, cars, jewels, stars
WFomanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars,
DDmrug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life
EveryEthing I wanted and everything I could ask life
IAmf this ain't living and they lied well,
Guess I maFrried an old wives' tale; wow, fail
I Dmdon't know another way to go,
This is the oEnly way they ever showed
I got this emptiness iAmnside that got me fighting for approval
'Cause I missed out on my daFddy saying, way to go,
And get that verbal affiDmrmation on know how to treat a woman,
Know how to fix an enEgine; that keep the car running
So now I'm looking Amat the media and I'm following what they feed me,
RFap stars, trap stars, whoever wants to lead me
EDmven though they lie they still tell me that they love me,
They sEay I'm good at bad things at least they proud of me
[Chorus]
AmI just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like yFou
The only one I could look to
You're teaching me to be just like Dmyou
Well I just gotta be like, Elike,
I just gotta be like yAmou
(Like you)
[Verse 3]
I was crAmeated by God but I ain't wanna be like Him; I wanna be Him
TFhe Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean
I remDmember the first created being,
And how he shifted the blEame on his dame, for fruit he shouldn't have eaten
And now lAmook at us all out of Eden,
Wearing designer fig leFaves by Louis Vuitton, make believing
But God sDmees through my foolish pride,
And how I'm weak like AEdam another victim of Lucifer's lies
But tAmhen in steps Jesus,
All men were creFated to lead but we needed somebody to lead us
MDmore than a teacher,
But somebody to buy us bEack from the darkness, You can say He redeemed us,
TAmaught us that real leaders follow God,
Finish the wFork 'cause we on our job
Taught us not to Dmrob, but give life love a wife like He loved the Church,
WEithout seeing how many hearts we can break first
I Amwanna be like you in every way,
So if I goFtta die every day, unworthy sacrifice
BDmut the least I can do is give the most of me
'ECause being just like you is what I'm supposed to be
TAmhey say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest
I mFade a mess but you say you'll erase it; I'll take it
TDmhey say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest
I Ebroke my life, but you say you'll replace it, I'll take it.

[Intro]

Am F Dm E Am

[Chorus]

I just wanna be like you,

Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to

You're teaching me to be just like you

Well I just gotta be like, like,

I just gotta be like you

[Verse 1]

Dear, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky,

Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly

I grew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot,

I wasn't picky I'd take any male figure you

Stepped in at the right time,

It's 'cause of you that I write rhymes

You probably never knew that

I loved the way you used to come through,

Teach me to do the things that men do, true

You showed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen,

But you had barely made it out your teens,

And took me under your wings

I wanted hats, I wanted clothes just like you,

Lean to the side when I rolled just like you

Didn't care if people didn't like you,

You wanna bang, I wanna bang too

Skyline, pyru

You would've died, I would've died too,

You went to prison, got sick, lost your pops,

Yeah, I cried too

You never know who's right behind you,

I got a little son now and he do whatever I do

But it's something deep inside you,

That tell you it's gotta be more than doing what other guys do,

They had nobody there to guide you

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]

I just wanna be like you,

Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to

You're teaching me to be just like you

Well I just gotta be like, like,

I just gotta be like you

[Verse 2]

Now all I see is money, cars, jewels, stars

Womanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars,

Drug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life

Everything I wanted and everything I could ask life

If this ain't living and they lied well,

Guess I married an old wives' tale; wow, fail

I don't know another way to go,

This is the only way they ever showed

I got this emptiness inside that got me fighting for approval

'Cause I missed out on my daddy saying, way to go,

And get that verbal affirmation on know how to treat a woman,

Know how to fix an engine; that keep the car running

So now I'm looking at the media and I'm following what they feed me,

Rap stars, trap stars, whoever wants to lead me

Even though they lie they still tell me that they love me,

They say I'm good at bad things at least they proud of me

[Chorus]

I just wanna be like you,

Walk like, talk like, even think like you

The only one I could look to

You're teaching me to be just like you

Well I just gotta be like, like,

I just gotta be like you

(Like you)

[Verse 3]

I was created by God but I ain't wanna be like Him; I wanna be Him

The Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean

I remember the first created being,

And how he shifted the blame on his dame, for fruit he shouldn't have eaten

And now look at us all out of Eden,

Wearing designer fig leaves by Louis Vuitton, make believing

But God sees through my foolish pride,

And how I'm weak like Adam another victim of Lucifer's lies

But then in steps Jesus,

All men were created to lead but we needed somebody to lead us

More than a teacher,

But somebody to buy us back from the darkness, You can say He redeemed us,

Taught us that real leaders follow God,

Finish the work 'cause we on our job

Taught us not to rob, but give life love a wife like He loved the Church,

Without seeing how many hearts we can break first

I wanna be like you in every way,

So if I gotta die every day, unworthy sacrifice

But the least I can do is give the most of me

'Cause being just like you is what I'm supposed to be

They say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest

I made a mess but you say you'll erase it; I'll take it

They say you came for the lame; I'm the lamest

I broke my life, but you say you'll replace it, I'll take it.

[Outro]

Am F Dm E
