Like motherfuckers ain't in these streets
On God
Why you playin' with my shorty like he won't come up out that cut?
Why you talkin' out your neck like he won't turn yo' ass to runts?
They say why we ain't kill his ass, we was on his ass for a couple months
You know Blow, his ass a smoker, he put 3 grams in a blunt
Ain't no peace treaty with the opps, don't call my phone 'cause I ain't the one
How they give him 39 and he ain't get caught up with no gun?
Ain't no pass, we on your ass, don't get caught up with your son
It's one opp that we ain't blast, after him it ain't no fun
How you say your ass the man and you ain't give your block no guns?
Man, you know his ass a rat, how he get out in a month?
Why you actin' like a bitch? Nigga should've been a punk
We gon' catch you lackin', off them pills, wearin' them glasses
We gon' hit your blindside, foenem hit you nine times
I send hits through CashApp, I'm on a 6 with badazz
On that car if he back back, fuck my opps, I'm Die Y

Why you move like that? (Let's get it)

My pockets gettin' big (let's get it)

Who got the pills in here? (Who got the pills in there?)
Take off your heels in here (take off your heels in here)

So don't get killed in here (let's get it)
I got my pipe in here, I won't think twice in here

OT, I fly you here, what size shoe you wear?
Must be the pills talkin', can't lie, I'm high as hell
Where I'm from, you better not tell, where I'm from, it's dead or jail
Where I'm from, it's on that car, and watch out, there go 12
Where I'm from, it's hit or miss, and he got hit, he quick
Where I'm from, you lookin' stiff, then put him in a zip
Where I'm from, we smokin' him, that Tooka, man, be chokin' him
These hoes ain't shit gang, I'm fuckin' her, she to close him

The lyrics of Lil T's song "Like That" depict the life and struggles of someone who grew up in the hood. The first few lines seem to address people who don't understand rap music or its culture. He says someone can't use a tune when many rappers are known for their distinctive tunes and lyrics. Lil T is essentially saying that he and his people are the ones who belong in the streets or who understand its ways.
In the following lines, Lil T talks about people playing with his "shorty," which may refer to a friend, brother, or cousin. Someone has been talking down on him, and Lil T warns them that his friend won't hesitate to come out from the shadows and take them down. He mentions the name "Blow," who might be a drug dealer or someone who smokes a lot of weed. Lil T says Blow puts three grams in a blunt, which is a large amount. He also mentions a "booster" who is likely someone who helps him steal or get clothing for a lower price. Lil T says there's no peace treaty with the "opps," which is shorthand for his enemies. Lil T's people have been after someone for a couple of months, and they don't plan to let them go. Lil T warns others not to get caught up with his situation, or they will face consequences.
The second half of the lyrics is more focused on Lil T and his ways. He talks about how he's on that car, which means he's always alert and ready to act. Lil T says he's shooting everyone, even people from out of town. He asks someone what size shoe they wear, which might be a way of sizing them up or marking them as targets. Lil T says he's from a place where you don't tell and where it's either dead or jail. He warns people to watch out for the authorities because they're always close. Lil T comes from a place where you're either hit or miss, and there's no in-between. The rest of the lyrics speak to Lil T's disregard for people who are fake or use others to get ahead.

Lyrics:
(INTRO)
I just wanna show you that I can do better
Baby I wonโt stopโฆ
till you let me give you what you want (x2)
(VERSE 1)
Iโll do whatever to spoil, tripping about you like Iโm running on oil
Youโre a queen, your whole demeanor is royal
I just wanna caress, rough sex break you down and adore you but first
Let me know whatโs on your mind, looking like there something wrong,
I can see the signs, I ainโt here to judge you truly and honestly not the kind
So perfect Iโm a player but for you Iโll get in line,
the type of vibe Iโm still gonna fall in love with being blind
Donโt know to approach, heard you got a man damn Iโm a fan
Really am just donโt wanna do the most, You got me in my feelings
Late night writing in my notes, Like girl Iโm rich Iโm pretty sure he in a different boat
Wanna take your time, no problem girl thatโs fine, I understand thereโs probably
Many out there want you Iโm, not the only one, trust me I ainโt dumb
But Iโm gonna keep applying pressure until you donโt see nothing
(HOOK)
I just wanna show you that I can do better
Baby I wonโt stopโฆ
till you let me give you what you want (x2)
(VERSE 2)
Smoking blunts to the face, just thinking about you got me stuck in this space
Heart pumping like Iโm ducking the jakes you donโt want no debate
Put me in that moon I could relate, Iโm a superstar I donโt really chase
But you too smooth, like a cup full of ace
Heard you got goals, let me know what I can embrace
Feel your heart cold, tell me what I got to erase
Got a dark soul, but with you I kinda feel safe
Ever feel out of place, hit me, Iโll be there, quickly
No it ainโt too big a problem Iโll face about you
Iโm with what you with girl, I will never doubt you
No there ainโt no nigga in this world can out do
What Iโm willing to do for your love
Your smile, your kisses, your hugs,
Iโm just fucked up about you so Iโฆ
(OUTRO)
I just wanna show you that I can do better
Baby I wonโt stopโฆ
till you let me give you what you want (x2)
