Wanna Be Like You
C.N.Blue Lyrics

N.-is for that nigga, who keeps banging... banging
The letter N represents a person who is constantly making noise or commotion through banging.

O.-is for outstanding everyday... everyday
The letter O represents something that is excellent or remarkable in everyday life.

R.-is for ridiculous crazy... so crazy
The letter R represents something that is extremely absurd, bordering on madness.

E.-is for extraordinary ways... everyway 'rideout'
The letter E represents doing things in unique, exceptional ways that are appropriate in any situation and ready to ride out.

They want to be like you, smoke like you, live like you But they can't fuck with, thug like him, dro like him If you forgot the name, and you been wondering it's N.O.R.E, N.O.R.E
Others aspire to imitate the lifestyle of the artist but fall short since they cannot replicate his level of toughness and proficiency in drugs, so they are reminded of the song's performer as being N.O.R.E.

Ayo these chicks love me, and even though I got chubby Mommy see me in the club want pop bubble I'm like yo ma stop it, cause I'm a smirnoff rocket I'm loving my life, and never out of pocket
The artist's successful life has attracted female attention, and despite his recent weight gain, he still gets noticed. He tells a woman not to get too excited because he has enjoyed life so much, and he is always prepared financially.

I fuck dogstyle chick, I'm thugged out and rich I drink henny that's the same shit that I piss And I don't care about a ice wrist, I got a ice pick Plus a ice chick, she suck ice dick
The artist engages in rough sexual behavior with a partner while simultaneously displaying his financial and social power by drinking expensive brands of alcohol and not needing costly displays of jewelry. He also claims to have a submissive and obedient female partner to exemplify his luxurious lifestyle.

God favorite so the stay attracted And you could fuck with the guard or get subtracted I'll have you hideout, like when thugged out slide out These niggaz listen like when swizz scream rideout N.O.R, twenties on rims on ill car You could ask Def Jam they inherited a star You see I take flicks, and we hit the knick chicks Bag twenties and sell them in the hood for Nick's
The artist is favored by God and is therefore alluring to others. He warns that crossing him comes with consequences and humiliates unprepared competitors. He also boasts possession of a high-end vehicle and label backing, further elevating his status. The artist states that he often takes pictures and seeks sexual partners while also selling drugs for profit to his local community.

It's still bang bang, yeah mommy it's still the samething And you could feel on my jock, and see I'm all cock And we could chill on your block, why not Niggaz love me anywhere, a hood I'm there I told nigga last year, that I ain't care You acting like the little nigga break yo, still don't care Whoa so if you with it, I can hit it and go And call you from the hood later, after hugging some doe N.O I keep it all good, I smoke more wood And as far as my chicks, I keep them all hood One time jake chase me, I started to dip them And when I ran by shortie, she started to trip'em Damn shortie "what" we've been through a lot together I even had you on the block slinging rocks together It's not a stress day, so I'm hit the expressway Meet you at your crib in a hour, with a dress tray
The recurring call for noisy behavior demonstrates that the same wild side of the artist still exists, and he invites others to pursue social and sexual activities with him. He believes everyone in his community loves him and does as he pleases even if it involves illegal activity. He also prioritizes his popular and humble habits and remains close to a former criminal partner despite no longer operating a similar business. He plans to meet later with another female partner, bringing with him a present to enhance their time together.

I'm from Q.U. double E.N.S The first nigga selling crack with a black g.s I like the lex, nigga so I copped the shit And now it's summer time now, so I dropped the shit Whatever, you want beef, better get it together Cause I can have niggaz follow you and blast your leather You see we thugged out, and got whips with dip dishes Go head and keep fronting, you could sleep with the fishies It go...
The artist asserts his background in an area of New York City and claims to be the first person to sell drugs from a particular car. He expresses his preference for the Lexus model and indicates that he will replace it with another once the summer season arrives. He warns those who may have issues with him to resolve them quickly, or they will suffer violent consequences. He also affirms his continued participation in selling drugs and transportation fitted with devices useful for illegal activity.
