Текст песни Just Like You (feat. Merci) - Jerel

You know what really puzzles me in life
Sometimes it's the fact that we look around
But we never look up though
Talk them Merci

Role models
They want to be like
Who they really see on the tv screen
But it's not what it seems
It's much more in store for you
Forget standing on the block getting shot
It's much more in store for you
Jeezy made it snow
I'm a make it rain hope
Yeah yeah

Who do you really fear
Who you really feel
Busting out of my shell
Won't bust from pressure by my peers
They wanna judge
Because I'm giving hope to dope boys
Tell them walk by faith and just go for it
See every sinner has a past
We've been washed clean
At my best I'm still a filthy rag I agree
We have other crack babies
In the 9th Ward chopping it up
About somebody who'll fight for them
What's the problem with just normalizing love
Lifting up the ones who never looked like us
Lifting up the ones who
Really had it rough
Praying for them really just because
They're watching how they bust it for the gram
Cursing out your kinfolks
We use to raise the bar now we lower it like limbo
What happened to your morals and your self value
They tell them take care
It's never be careful

Role models
They want to be like
Who they really see on the tv screen
But it's not what it seems

Why do we always
Resort to violence
I mean sort a kind of
Put my picture in the dictionary
It won't define me
Just because you're sleeping on the floor
In an empty room
Doesn't mean the world's sleeping on you
They just hit the snooze
Well well let me wake them up
Just making it out the hood ain't enough
When you've got kids in your backyard starving
Claiming you're a general
Boy you're sorry
They're trash talking on the corner
Hit the block and litter
I'm asking you homie
Get the block rebuild it
And do for the ones who never seen it done before
Everybody loves when you score more
Even if you never make it to the league
You can still shoot your shot
Dream dream dream
Who said it was this way
Because it's got a be
Nothing but blessings over here
We're out of poverty

Role models
They want to be like
Who they really see on the tv screen
But it's not what it seems
It's much more in store for you
Forget standing on the block getting shot
It's much more in store for you
Jeezy made it snow
I'm a make it rain hope
Yeah yeah
