Luyện nghe bài hát Like It Is

I tell it like it is, how it could be

Heaven or hell boy, freedom or boy
A bag full of shit I could sell for
The higher, the low boy, me and my homeboys
The police us so we made up our own laws
Been this long war, there's shells in this shores sand
Still young but a grown man, could tell by my
Been stackin' money and problems as I wait for the
Death never been no threat, I be chillin',
Everybody

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, the things I've done
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make my momma proud, like her only son
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
everything I need, with everything I want
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To do it like nobody has done

When I was in grade my grandfather told me don't get caught
Lovin' the streets they never gonna love you back
But I feel it's all we got so it's all we really do love
At the end of the day I feel like the is the people that control
It don't really come from here, so they can't do nothing but down on us
We look at them, we see somebody that help
but they look at us and all see is a nigga
It don't really matter anyway, we all die one day man, one day

Do doves cry when the black man dies, or do we croak crows
The young gun shots, the old catch the holy ghost
Ho I not, I never seen no pot of gold
Just ball windows and six fours with no
Was broke with no bitches, she love me
You'll kill me if it make you richer, what you screaming, you my for
Heart is where the hatred is, the brain that stained the below
And life is what you make it so I'm money for my folks

I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make it up to heaven, the things I've done
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To make my proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, with everything I
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it nobody has ever done

When most people look at a person who what I
Do they look at us with preconceived notions as if
It's a set way for us all to be, but we all at the end
Of the day so I wonder why we don't treat each other it
You're looking at a telling them that they story don't
Matter they're no better than me, walkin' down the streets tryna shoot at somebody
'Cause all we got is these dreams man and y'all never had to not have nothing
And that's the last thing you want anybody
Is to not really nothing

I been through and back, I seen my momma cry
Seen my father hit the crack hit the set to flip a sack
I done seen my homies die went on rides to kill 'em back
So how you say you feel me you never had to get through that?
We live for they amusement like they us from behind the glass
No matter what we grow into, we gonna escape our past
So in this cage they made for me, exactly you find me at
Whether it's my time to leave or not, I turn my back

I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one
To it up to heaven, despite the things I've done
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To my momma proud, feel like her only son
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
With everything I need, with I want
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one
To do it nobody has ever done
