Like You
Cooper & Gatlin Lyrics

Give me a gentle and quiet spirit as Yours Lord
Asking for a calm and humble demeanor like the Lord

So I can be like You
Desiring to emulate the Lord's behavior and attitudes

Patience
Recognizing the need for calm and waiting for difficult situations

You know I need it
Acknowledging a personal weakness for patience

I'm dealing with people who don't understand me I gotta repeat it
Encountering misunderstandings with others, leading to frustration

I'm not tryna let somebody catch a fist I don't need it I mean it
Rejecting violence and aggression despite provocation

I'm seeing their faces I don't wanna break it and they tryna play with
Resisting aggressive behavior from others while maintaining composure

I 'dey' in my space and they trying my patience on different occasions
Patience being tested repeatedly and in different situations

I stay in line like Adidas
Analogizing the need for discipline and focus

It's survival of the fittest
Observing the harsh realities of competition and struggle

Chilling with my ninjas
Spending time with close friends and allies

I've been off my hinges
Admitting moments of emotional instability

If I get offended
Acknowledging the potential for being offended or hurt

You know that I did it
Recognizing responsibility for one's own actions and feelings

I dont wanna do it
Expressing a desire to avoid negative behavior or emotions

Don't wanna pursue it
Deciding not to engage in negative behaviors or emotions

Don't wanna go through it
Wishing to avoid painful or difficult experiences

I ain't prolific
Not claiming to be exceptional or gifted

I'm tryna be different ayt
Striving to set oneself apart or be unique

I know
Believing or having confidence in something

It's okay
Accepting a situation or circumstance

I know You the way
Having a personal relationship or understanding of the Lord

And I know the way so tomorrow's good today
Having faith in the Lord's guidance and provision for future needs

Tryna live NBA (And be a) blessing, I be shooting for the stars
Aspiring to live a life that benefits others and aiming high

Doesn't matter if they cross me I be playing for the cross
Persisting in doing good despite opposition or adversity

How do You do it
Wondering about the Lord's ability to show love and compassion

They hating, You loving
Contrasting others' negative behavior with the Lord's love

You give 'em everything when You know they owe You something
Displaying mercy and generosity towards those who don't deserve it

And this kind of patience I know it comes from above
Understanding that the ability to show patience comes from the Lord

And I want it with the peace that passes all understanding
Desiring not just patience, but also inner peace from the Lord

And my friends they be buzzin'
Noticing excitement or activity among friends

My landlady knocking my door
Being interrupted or bothered by obligations or responsibilities

My girlfriend be trippin'
Experiencing negative dynamics or problems in a romantic relationship

My mom steady callin' my phone
Feeling overwhelmed or interrupted by family obligations

My haters be talking
Being aware of negative or critical comments from others

Oh Lord You just watching I know
Trusting the Lord's presence and involvement in difficult situations

I need You to help me so
Recognizing a need for the Lord's assistance and guidance

Let this be my daily
Requesting a consistent and ongoing help from the Lord

Request to be
Asking for a specific outcome or aspect of character

Filled with Your Holy Spirit always
Asking for the Lord's presence and guidance at all times

So I can be like You
Desiring to emulate the Lord's behavior and attitudes

So I can be like You
Desiring to emulate the Lord's behavior and attitudes

Give me a gentle and quiet spirit as Yours Lord
Asking for a calm and humble demeanor like the Lord

Give me a gentle and quiet spirit as Yours
Asking for a calm and humble demeanor like the Lord

So I can be like You
Desiring to emulate the Lord's behavior and attitudes

So I can be like You
Desiring to emulate the Lord's behavior and attitudes
