I Wanna Be Like Them

Who rob you, yo, it's their job too

You know everywhere I go they'll be like, man, he's the bomb

And I'll be here to stay just like a brand heated on

And I'll hear them say this man stand on feet alone

I'll be the one who got it going on

I wanna be like them, yeah, I wanna be like them

I wanna be like them, like them, like them

I wanna be like them, yeah, I wanna be like them

Yeah, I wanna be like them, like them, like them

Oh, what a shock we, I guess I have to say

Another big star to me as big as cash is clay

They said on TV here she has passed away

Turned back to clay, lived only for today

Was found dead in a hotel like Whitney was

These stories show cell like a kidney does

They found drugs on the tub like fizzy suds

This my heart nugs and my mind bugs

I thought these had the keys to true happiness

Now I'm awake, all I see is true ghastliness

Now I can see not for me, so don't pass me this

Cause it would be a death kiss, so yo, don't test this

Oh, cause everything that shines isn't gold

So I decided to switch and try God's way

After reading St. John's 3:16

Found out a guy like me could be all fixed and clean

I used to be ticked off, all slick and keen

Doing all I had to do just to get my green

But thank God the Most High who made a way

Sent himself from the sky, I mean he paid the way

He gave men like me a chance to a made of clay

He says come to me before this all fades away

Cause the only way to the Father is yo through him

Not many are on this path but yo few men

Out on a limb u-turn and find in him an old true friend

You ask me if there's another I'll say bro who then

Cause like drugs he took slugs in his wrist for you

Forget drugs or the thugs I insist you do

They fake hug but if you bug they'll diss you too

So who crew are you true to

Don't wanna be like them, no, don't wanna be like them

Sporting fancy cars and diamond rings

Escorting fancy stars with material things, yeah, material things

Don't wanna be like them, no, don't wanna be like them

And flash cash everywhere I go

And have girls even just for show

Yeah, just for show, yeah, just for show

Yeah, just for show
