[Intro: J.Paul]
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: Lecrae]
Dear Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky
Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly
I grew up empty since my daddy wouldn'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 people didn't like you
You wanna bang, I wanna bang too
Skyline, piru
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 that'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
You realize you
You realize you, you
Yeah, I just wanna be like you
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
