Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I dam sure ain't trynna be lectured by you
Got snakes in her head might petrify ya
Wait let me run the metrics by you
Been the 1 since 9 2
I'm thinking if we converse like my shoe
You gon see when you cut the vine ain't much to find
That they lie and they move all serpentine too
See you moving like a troop on a mission
Well it's a boots on the ground operation and it ain't p s
When I try to show u what you missing hope you get it
Gotta take advantage we just live it never plan it
Following your orbit, while I'm waiting for your landing
Need a second of your time trynna get them stars shooting
But you rushing you rushing girl you Putin
And I know you got time
Cause you wouldn't be here otherwise
And my eyes don't Lie no
You gotta real good game
But I really don't play
Maybe we could unwind unwind though
You don't drink like that?
Me neither but you acting like
You acting like you had a little wine
Lil wine tho

Everything's in line
But your...

Like maybe could you send more like that
(Right)
They say it is what it is
Well its all good if its like that
Right
Said if its like that

Where's your head where's your soul where's your heart
Said we On a mission here it go here it start
They say hot cakes hot cakes get em while they hot
You ain't looking at the in-crowd looking at the top
So I'm wit it, dig it like a divit
Spring in your step your step be like ribbit
Throw her in the post
Post got me on pivot
I ain't saying no names but I'm catching what you kicking
No goal girl, you go girl
See I know you know my name and I'm no Earl
Good karma good karma to the whole world
I think you melting looking like the north pole girl
I gotta hit you with some inconvenient truth shit
Pay attention to the people that you move with
Always try to Be alive but keep focus on the living cause
Cause you running you running girl you too quick when you...

In Joe Bruce's song Like That, the lyrics heavily focus on a relationship with a woman who appears to be independent and strong-willed. The singer expresses his attraction to her, admiring her mission-driven approach to life. However, he also hints at the difficulty he faces in getting close to her, with lines like "you really shouldn't walk like that" and "you rushing, you rushing girl you Putin." The singer seems to be communicating his desire for a deeper connection and a slowing down of their interactions.
The lines "gotta take advantage we just live it never plan it" and "said I got a lot of living to do before I die and I aint got time to waste" emphasize the importance of living in the moment and chasing one's dreams. The song's chorus, "They say it is what it is, well, it's all good if it's like that," feels like an acceptance of the situation at hand, a recognition that things are as they are, and that's okay.
Overall, the lyrics to Like That suggest a romantic interest in a woman who may be difficult to get close to but is worth the effort. The song's chorus suggests acceptance and a commitment to living fully in the present moment.
