Like It Is (Explicit) - Vince Staples[00:00:02]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:14]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:17]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:20]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:24]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:27]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:31]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:34]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:38]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:41]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:45]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:48]
I tell it like it is then how it could be[00:00:51]
Heaven or hell boy freedom or jail boy[00:00:54]
A jansport bag full of shit I could sell for[00:00:57]
The higher the low boy just me and my homeboys[00:01:00]
The police kill us so we made up our own laws[00:01:04]
Been fighting this long war there's shells in this shores sand[00:01:07]
Still young but a grown man could tell by my stash[00:01:11]
Been stackin' money and problems as I wait for the rapture[00:01:14]
Death never been no threat I be chillin' relaxin'[00:01:17]
Everybody bleed[00:01:21]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:01:22]
To make it up to heaven despite the things I've done[00:01:26]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:01:29]
To make my momma proud feel like her only son[00:01:32]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:01:36]
With everything I need with everything I want[00:01:39]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:01:43]
To do it like nobody has ever done[00:01:46]
When I was in seventh grade my grandfather[00:01:50]
Told me don't get caught lovin' the streets[00:01:52]
Cause they never gonna love you back[00:01:53]
But I feel like it's all we got so it's all we really do love[00:01:55]
At the end of the day I feel like the problem is the people that[00:01:58]
Control it don't really come from here[00:02:01]
So they can't do nothing but look down on us[00:02:03]
We look at them[00:02:05]
We see somebody that could help but they look at us[00:02:07]
And all they see is a nigga[00:02:08]
It don't really matter anyway[00:02:10]
We all gon' die one day man one day[00:02:11]
Do doves cry when the black man dies [00:02:17]
or do we croak with crows[00:02:19]
The young catch gun shots the old catch the holy ghost[00:02:20]
Ho I love not I never seen no pot of gold[00:02:24]
Just ball windows and six fours with no switches[00:02:27]
Was broke with no bitches she love me though[00:02:30]
You'll kill me if it make you richer[00:02:33]
What you screaming you my brother for[00:02:35]
Heart is where the hatred is the brain [00:02:38]
that stained the love below[00:02:39]
And life is what you make it so I'm makin' money for my folks[00:02:41]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:02:45]
To make it up to heaven despite the things I've done[00:02:48]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:02:51]
To make my momma proud feel like her only son[00:02:55]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:02:58]
With everything I need with everything I want[00:03:02]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:03:05]
To do it like nobody has ever done[00:03:09]
When most people look at a person[00:03:12]
Who does what I do they look at us with[00:03:13]
These preconceived notions as if[00:03:15]
It's a set way for us all to be[00:03:17]
But we all people at the end of the day[00:03:19]
So I wonder why we don't treat each other like it[00:03:20]
You're looking at a person telling them that[00:03:23]
They story don't matter when they're no better than me[00:03:25]
Walkin' down the streets tryna shoot at somebody[00:03:27]
Cause all we got is these dreams man[00:03:29]
And y'all ain't never had to not have nothing[00:03:31]
And that's the last thing you want from anybody[00:03:33]
Is to not really have nothing[00:03:36]
I been through hell and back I seen my momma cry[00:03:40]
Seen my father hit the crack then hit the set to flip a sack[00:03:43]
I done seen my homies die then went on rides to kill 'em back[00:03:46]
So how you say you feel me [00:03:49]
when you never had to get through that[00:03:50]
We live for they amusement like [00:03:53]
they view us from behind the glass[00:03:54]
No matter what we grow into we never gonna escape our past[00:03:56]
So in this cage they made for me exactly where you find me at[00:04:00]
Whether it's my time to leave or not I never turn my back[00:04:03]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:04:07]
To make it up to heaven despite the things I've done[00:04:10]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:04:14]
To make my momma proud feel like her only son[00:04:17]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:04:21]
With everything I need with everything I want[00:04:24]
I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be the one[00:04:27]
To do it like nobody has ever done[00:04:31]
Nobody has ever done[00:04:34]
