Like Me
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics

If looks could kill I let the swank drill like a deadly weapon
I exude confidence and power, and if I could, I would use it to harm those who wrongly approach me.

I drop bombs on an enemy at any second
I am always ready for a fight and will attack my opponent relentlessly.

Look at me wrong I turn you to tomb stones
If someone disrespects me or crosses me, they will meet a bitter end.

Lock you in the crosshairs then you gone, then I throw my deuce up
I confront problems head-on, aggressively, and don't stop until I'm satisfied.

Sip sangritas with your señorita, like me gusta
I am popular and wanted by women, and I am known for my charm and physical appeal.

See what that early morning cock will do up to your rooster
I can take any man's woman and make her mine using my sexual prowess and appeal.

I bet my cockiness will boost her confidence
Women are attracted to my confidence and feel empowered by being with me.

Then you gon' wonder where your highness went
Once a woman has been with me, she will never want to be with anyone else because she will feel like a queen.

I bet she get low for a nigga like me
Women are willing to do whatever I want because of my status and charm.

So we burn the mary jane til' the third degree
We smoke marijuana excessively until we can barely function.

Some niggas bitin' flows yo, that's burglary
Other rappers copy my style, which is a crime and a sign of disrespect.

Same niggas actin' like they never heard of me
People who used to ignore me are suddenly interested in me now that I'm successful.

A fuck nigga could get clocked, yo that's word to me
If someone disrespects me, they will suffer the consequences and be dealt with harshly.

My mind boggles when time toggles
I am amazed by the passage of time and how quickly it goes by.

In the ocean of stars it's hard to find goggles, we twisted up
Life is complex and difficult to navigate, and we often cope by getting high.

So we put it in the air
We smoke marijuana to help us relax and ease our minds.

Don't let the j's start unravelling
Be careful not to let negative thoughts or situations bring you down.

We gettin' blown like a javelin
We're getting high and feeling euphoric.

She throw it back like she time travelin'
Women are sexually attracted to me and are willing to do whatever I want.

Rocked the boat so well, she jumped out and started paddling
I am so good in bed that women are left speechless and exhausted.

I'm screaming "Land, ho!" 'bout to hit for sure
I am confident in myself and my abilities, and I am ready to succeed.

I motorboat it slow then I ripped the flow
I take my time and do things carefully, but when it's time to perform, I excel.

I'm pretty sure-like nice beaches-that
I am very confident, even arrogant, but I have the skills and talent to back it up.

Even at my weakest I still leave 'em speechless
Even when I am not at my best, I am still better than everyone else and leave them in awe.

How you like those peaches?
Do you see how amazing I am?

Find me rotting the apple
I will continue to succeed and surpass my competition.

'Bout to bump so plump, 'bout to lock in the grapple
I am ready to succeed and will do whatever it takes to do so.

Feeling like the highest man about to tackle
I am confident and ready to succeed no matter what.

Facts like the tat under the cap of the Snapple
I am full of truthful information that people need to hear.

Cats get decapitated for actin' a fool
People who disrespect me or try to bring me down will be punished severely.

Blacks get their ass sprayed just for makin' a move
African Americans are often subjected to police brutality and violence, even for minor offenses.

We get high and say "fuck the police"
We are tired of police brutality and are expressing our resistance.

Cause every time I make a move they be sweatin' me
The police are always watching and harassing me even when I do nothing wrong.

They want another black man in penitentiary
The police are racist and want to see African Americans behind bars.

It's even hard for that man standing next to me
Even innocent bystanders are at risk of being accused and punished by the police.

Cause he could catch a bullet that was really meant for me
The police are willing to harm anyone who is associated with me, even if they are innocent.

It's like every step bring me close to destiny
I am destined for greatness and every step I take brings me closer to realizing my full potential.

And every breath I get closer to the death of me
Every day is a race against time, and I am getting closer to death with each breath.

I'm just tryna carry out my own legacy
I want to leave my mark on the world and be remembered for my greatness.

But the place I call home ain't lettin' me
Society is holding me back and preventing me from reaching my full potential.

You can't get by if you don't respect an OG
You must show respect for those who came before you and paved the way for your success.

Cause every corner I turn a nigga testing me
People are always trying to bring me down and test my limits.

And every morning I mourn just for the less of me
I am constantly reminded of those I have lost and those who have failed to achieve success.

Sometimes I ask the Lord why he be blessing me
I am grateful for my success and wonder why I have been chosen to be successful.

And not my brothers whose souls now rest in peace
I wonder why some of my friends and family members who have passed away were not given the same opportunities for success as I have been given.

I pray there's hope for a nigga like me
I hope that I will continue to succeed and be remembered for my greatness.

I'm something like the chairman of the board rantin'
I am confident and in charge, like a powerful CEO.

I feel, invincible, like McMahon
I feel unstoppable and like I can achieve anything I set my mind to, like the powerful CEO of WWE.

One of the last original emcees that's left standing on the planet
I am one of the few remaining original rappers who have stayed true to my style and not sold out.

Strike like a meteor, do remedial damage, damnit
I strike with force and can cause immense damage when I want to.

Cats can't stand it, get they ass handed and branded
My enemies are unable to handle me and are punished severely when they cross me.

By the lyrical New York City bandit
I am known throughout New York for my lyrical abilities and my ability to get what I want.

True warrior like rembrandt
I am a true warrior and artist, like the famous painter Rembrandt.

Yo some cats claim they fly but really been landed
Some rappers claim to be successful and powerful, but they are really not.

I really can't stand it
I am annoyed by those who are not authentic and true to themselves.

Let me take a seat, this a Rosa Parks 'ol bum, now
Let me take a rest and relax, like the famous civil rights activist Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on a bus.

Make some room for me
Move over and make space for me, because I am powerful and successful.

PE in your beeper, hun you can read it and weep
Public Enemy is so powerful and influential that even your pager will show how much they dominate the music industry.

My old hoes call me now, leave a message after the beep
Women who rejected me in the past are now trying to contact me, but I don't want to talk to them.

I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak
I am not interested in rekindling old relationships or acquaintances.

I just wanna be good, I just wanna be
I just want to continue to succeed and be remembered for my greatness.

I just wanna be free
I want to be free to do what I want and achieve my dreams without interference from anyone else.

I pray there's hope for a nigga like me
I hope that I will continue to succeed and be remembered for my greatness.
