The Way You Like It
Adema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll get inside you
Don't live with shame, 'cause feelings change but fame remains
The reason why your gonna want to take me home tonight
It's all the same up in this game, the people change
And money claims everyone from everything
I can't believe that you would think that shit of me
I was amazed at the torment that you put me through
If you can see right through the greed and all your needs
You realize that you were just about as bad as me
Sometimes I only remember the days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
(The way you like it)
Come on baby help me, someone to confide in
(I'll get inside you)
Now you're beggin' me to stay
(I'll get inside you)
My life has changed but fuck the fame, I'll stay the same
You can't complain when you can pay the bills and do your thing
Appreciate, don't player hate, congratulate
I miss the pain and the torment that you put me through
(I'll get inside you)
So what's to fear when everything is crystal clear
You realize that you should do the things you want to do
Don't give in to what people say, don't be ashamed
To separate the feelings on your mind you can't sedate
(I'll get inside you)
Sometimes I only remember the days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
(The way you like it)
Come on baby help me, someone to confide in
(I'll get inside you)
Now you're beggin' me to stay
I'll get inside you
Now you're beggin' me to stay
(I'll get inside you)
You would always say I'd never be shit
They would always say I'd never be shit
But look at me now, look at me now
Now you're beggin' me to stay
I'll get inside you
Now you're beggin' me to stay
The way you like it
Sometimes I only remember the days when I was young
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
(The way you like it)
Come on baby help me, someone to confide in
(I'll get inside you)
Now you're beggin' me to stay
Sometimes I only remember the days when I was young
(I'll get inside you)
Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
(The way you like it)
Come on baby help me, someone to confide in
(I'll get inside you)
Now you're beggin' me to stay
(I'll get inside you)
Now you're beggin' me to stay
(I'll get inside you)
Now you're beggin' me to stay
(The way you like it)
The lyrics of Adema's song "The Way You Like It" talk about how people can change as they become successful, but fame remains constant. The lead singer talks about the greed and torment he was put through before making it big. He then talks about how he misses the pain, and how he wants to do the things he wants to do, not what people tell him to.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer remembers the days when he was young, but nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid. It's a nostalgic feel but also an acceptance of his current life.
The song seems to be a commentary on how people can change when they become successful and how that can lead to feelings of isolation and longing for the past. It also touches on the idea of not listening to what others say and being true to oneself.

If only there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.
The early 2000s, little did we know, this was as good as life would get. Wish I lived it to the absolute fullest.
@lolwha4021
Sad but true...
@joshishere96
Well if you were a kid in the 2000's appreciate it man. Cause nowadays you can take advantage of tech and fashion to live like the 2000's. It's a lifestyle, not just a phase. Punk never died.
@outroher5484
The more time passes the more I lament the good old days...
@twerkinalisha7346
I think both suck to be honest.
@jamiea.9782
So many concerts and shows I wish I would of went too 😭
@coreywallace8726
"Sometimes I only remember the days when I was young" ...that hits hard
There's many old school songs that I love, but only a select few truly take me back to childhood innocence. This is one of those few songs. A divine fusion of nostalgia & melancholy is how I'd best describe it
@ricardohudsonzadjelovic1937
Damn...many persons think about day that none remember...
@hectorcollazo8845
This takes me back to spring 2002 when 15 yr old me started freshman high school pretty early.

Kinda miss my 2000s teens.
