Somebody Like Me
Silkk The Shocker Featuring Mya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For real, I know we from different sides and all
And I ain't even gon' lie, I'm a thug
But I got a question for you
Could you see yourself fallin' for somebody like me
What's up?

[Chorus]
So what you want to do
A girl like me, a guy like you
What we could do
It's whatever baby anything that we want to
Will I fall for a thug like you

Could you see yourself fallin' for somebody like me and um
In fact if you could
I got money now
Can you see yourself if you had to move back up in the hood
Now during sex lay there I'm have to ask if it's good
This rap stuff stressful let's go see if we can relax in the woods
When I first met you at the bus stop lookin' all shy-like
Tellin' your friend how much that you hated my type
But I'm ready to change,
I'm willin' to put the game on it, put the range on it
Put powerful things on it
Sooner or later probably have tattoos with my name on it
Now look I like to live fast, addicted to cash, the 45 on the dash
And you know me, if you know me, o.g. I'm down to act bad
I need a more than a friend but not quite a relationship
A girl when I come off tour I can't wait to get with
Not the stupid chick the one I probably could vacation with
You gotta go somewhere you know what boo go ahead
Take the six
Now you gotta make a choice either wrong or right
You tried before maybe you just need a thug in your life
What's up

[Chorus]

You keep, keep on askin' me
If I, say if I want to be with you
The tough part is to think I could
Fall for some body like you

You advanced, took a couple chances and shit
Chances with bricks, couple chances now you sittin' in
Mansions and shit
You done gambled with this thug and won
You know what I'm sayin' it's thug life
Cock the glock, pop the glock, drop the top and run
I can't change I'm to deep in it so let me know if you wit me
Can't make no promises but if we make it through boo
Then sky's the limit
We on the west on the beach, we takin' trips to the east
Takin' shoppin' sprees 'til they damn near hurt our feet
Got you a five when you like smashed the four
Didn't even wreck it you just laid there and scratched the door
Step out the house it's more like a fashion show
Anything and everything you want you got that you ain't even gotta
Ask no more, imagine that

It never really mattered too much to me
That you were just too damn ghetto for me
All my girls think I'm not quite ready for you
So now I try to sneak away to be with you

[Chorus]

Every woman need a down man
Every man need a down chick
Watch your so-called friends
Watch them niggas you hang around with
I need somebody I can be serious with
I need somebody I can clown with
It's thug love and I think I found it

[Chorus]

Will I fall




For this thug
Will I fall for a thug like you

Overall Meaning

The song "Somebody Like Me" by Silkk The Shocker featuring Mya is a classic love song that captures the feeling of falling for someone who is from a different social background than oneself. The lyricist acknowledges that he is a thug and comes from a different side of life, but he asks his love interest if she could see herself falling for somebody like him, despite their differences. The artist then goes on to talk about his past and present life, including his addiction to cash and his love for living fast. He also expresses his desire for a more-than-friend relationship, someone he can vacation with and someone who is not a "stupid chick."


The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, features both artists wondering what they can do and what they could be together. They acknowledge the differences between them but make it clear that they are willing to work to make it work. Mya expresses her concerns about being with someone from a different social background, as her girls believe that she is not quite ready for someone like Silkk The Shocker.

The song's message is about love and the willingness to try despite potential societal barriers. It provides insight into the complexities of relationships and how people from different social backgrounds can come together if they are willing to make the effort. Overall, "Somebody Like Me" is a well-crafted love song that captures the challenges that come with falling in love when societal expectations seem to be against one's chances.
