Like You

Ain't nobody cooler The way that you maneuver I tried to match your fly step for step, I'm your junior I get why you and mom didn't make it You was young, wasn't ready at the time And let's face it, in your prime I would see you with these dimes Damn it's so and so, poppa was a playa But made time for his little man, practicing my layups At the park, with some Jordan's on always kept my layup Fresh part, went to Mr. Sam had the sharpest shape ups Always counting paper, taught me how the money supposed to flip Taught me family over money, only loyalty legit Made me stronger than a bull I was stubborn as a mule Now I'm looking in the mirror, really wishing it was you Like you, like you, like you, like you Growing up the only thing I wanted was to be like you All I ever needed in my life was a father like you Some days I just need to talk to somebody like you One day I hope that I'm man enough to stand in your shoes You grew up in a blink of an eye You was a bump in mommy's belly now you rolling your eyes Source of my pride You the best of me Can't even describe the type of love I'm a better me, you keep me in line I ain't perfect I apologize for me and your mom You only 10, but you're smart enough to read between lines Became a man when I recognized that I am your example of a man When these little guys try to hold your hand I know it's hard I got a lot of rules, but I'm your biggest fan For the moments when I'm not around, just always have a plan Life will show you what you can't do, focus on the things you can Remember happiness a choice that some will never understand Like you, like you, like you, like you The day you were born you will never meet nobody like you Give it all, no conditions, I could never love somebody like you Some days I just need to talk to somebody like you If I made a perfect person, I'd be lucky if they came out like you You taught me how to love Then you taught me how to lose Humble ain't the word, got me looking all confused Looking in your eyes and it clearly mean the flame I'm giving jealous little vibes and that really ain't my thing Entertaining other women, but all I really want is your attention Plus got other drama adding to the tension You might catch me reminiscing Can we take it back when shit was different? You my best friend, sometimes I really miss it Ain't nobody Like you, like you, like you, like you I met a lot of women, but I never met nobody like you My heart beat different never fell for nobody like you Some days I just need to talk to somebody like you If I ever love again it would have to be somebody like you
