Mic-mic check-check
Yo, turn the volume up a bit more, yeah yeah yeah I like it
Straight in the chair yeah, that's how I like it
Tell the barber yeah yeah, that's how I like it
Put that line back in just-just how I like it
Now everyting's fresh again, just how I like it
Yeah the bada-bada-bigman knows how I like it
Yeah the car wash mandem know how I like it
Overlook, bill a spliff and light it
When I'm eating steak, well done's how I like it
Na, blood coming out, that's not how I like it
She can't cook it the way that I like it
That chicken don't look like I'm gonna like it
Should I drive or bike it?
Don't think I don't know I'm a sidekick
Na, that's just a sidechick
That's not my chick
Three sugars, that's how I like it
Scramble my eggs yeah, that's how I like it
Lightly toasted, that's how I like it
Your girlie knows how I like it
Bright and early, that's when I like it
Hair's all curly, that's how I like it
Told you before yeah, that's how I like it
Phone on silent, that's how I like it
My mandem are violent, that's how I like it
It's me they're rating, that's how I like it
Them man are hating, that's how I like it
Man are spectating, that's how I like it
Bang on time, that's how I like it
Bang on point, that's just how I like it
All buddy, that's how I like it
My buddy knows how I like it
Should I pay cash or swipe it
That smile on your face, I can wipe it
I just wanna iron my kit
And then bust a quick flykick
Cow foot soup, me no like it
Red pea soup, that's more like it
Yeah that's my pick
What the E-Class? Yeah that's my shit
You might see me cruising, pumping my shit
I don't wanna hype it
But my niggas are on some ride or die shit
That's if you niggas wanna try shit
Three sugars, that's how I like it
Scramble my eggs yeah, that's how I like it
Lightly toasted, that's how I like it
Your girlie knows how I like it
Bright and early, that's when I like it
Hair's all curly, that's how I like it
Told you before yeah, that's how I like it
Phone on silent, that's how I like it
My mandem are violent, that's how I like it
It's me they're rating, that's how I like it
Them man are hating, that's how I like it
Man are spectating, that's how I like it
The lyrics in Sound of R.E.L.S.'s song "I Like It" express the artist's preferences and desires for various aspects of his life. From his haircut to his scrambled eggs, he knows exactly how he wants things to be, and he's not afraid to assert his preferences. He mentions his love for freshly cut hair, steak that's cooked well done, phone on silent, and more. He even touches on some of his dislikes, such as cow foot soup and a chicken dish that he doesn't think will meet his expectations.
However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that his desire for control extends beyond his personal preferences. He references his "mandem," or his friends, several times throughout the song, emphasizing their loyalty and willingness to do what he likes. He also asserts his dominance over other men who may be hating on him or just observing. This could reflect a desire for control and power over his surroundings.
Overall, "I Like It" is a self-assured and confident song that shows Sound of R.E.L.S.'s assertive personality and desire for control in all areas of his life.
