Like That
E.J. Carter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's it like to get a lot of dough I gotta know
What's it like to choose from the baddest to pop a hoe
Yo what's it like to headline when you got a show
What's it like when niggas and bitches peeping you got a flow
What's it like showing ya people you got the dough
Slide through everybody see you like you got a glow
Since everybody is ballin shit I just gotta know
I know what it's like to feel like you grinding for nothing
I know what's it like to have a baby as a youngin
I know what it's like to be always going through something
I know what's it like to be the topic of discussion
I know what it's like to see a nigga throw his life away
I know what's it like in the studio from night to day
I know what it's like acting crazy got a price to pay
To be in front of a judge and know he'll throw ya life away
We face time I ain't talking bout no iPhone
These young bulls just bouncing like Skyzone
I know I went to Fic crib when I got home
But getting real money not known
What's that like
What's it like to get a lot of dough I gotta know
What's it like to choose from the baddest to pop a hoe
Yo what's it like to headline when you got a show
What's it like when niggas and bitches peeping you got a flow
What's it like showing ya people you got the dough
Slide through everybody see you like you got a glow
Since everybody is ballin shit I just gotta know
What's it like to ball out
Tell me what's that all about
I know what's it like to be in the mix and seeing some shit
I know what it's like selling tedious nicks
I know what that's like to lay on the floor cause they shooting
I know what it's like to see bodies with blood oozing
I know what it's like to resist selling coke
I know what it's like to be struggling hella broke
I know what it's like to take the time and mail ya folks
Cause I know what it's like to be bidding and telling jokes
I know what it's like when these bitches try to play you
I know what it's like when a bitch is unfaithful
I know what it's like to be catching onto what they do
I know what it's like to see that text I think I'm late boo
I know what's like when that old head die
Start seeing niggas true colors and folks switch sides
I know what it's like when you don't get fly
PO telling me don't get high
I know what that's like but
What's it like to get a lot of dough I gotta know
What's it like to choose from the baddest to pop a hoe
Yo what's it like to headline when you got a show
What's it like when niggas and bitches peeping you got a flow
What's it like showing ya people you got the dough
Slide through everybody see you like you got a glow
Since everybody is ballin shit I just gotta know




What's it like to ball out
Tell me what's that all about
