Lyrics Be Like You - Nay Nay

Be Like You

Hey Momma
You didn’t think I was going to make you a song, did you?
Well this one’s for you, yeah
Growing up I never had a clue
Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove
But when they asked me what I wanted to do
I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
Growing up I never had a clue
Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove
But when they asked me what I wanted to do
I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
From teaching me to speak, write my name, and then to read
To telling me you love me every night before I sleep
I just can’t thank you enough, I cannot express my love
For everything you did for me while I was growing up
I could never give back silence for the times that I was loud
Though I wish to give you diamonds and to live to make you proud
You are appreciated, and the reason that I made it
If it wasn’t for you I would never be motivated
Every soccer game you went to, the trouble that you went through
To make sure I was happy and were someone i could to vent to
I could never pay you back but I thank you with this track
You can play it through your speakers whenever I make you mad
I’m sorry in advance, I’d never do that intentional
It happens on occasion after some pointless tension builds
You said to be respectful and to eat all of my vegetables
I try my best live like you cause your life’s so impeccable
Growing up I never had a clue
Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove
But when they asked me what I wanted to do
I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
Growing up I never had a clue
Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove
But when they asked me what I wanted to do
I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I could count on your support for all of my dreams
When I was home sick, would give me the care that I’d need
And at lunch time visits, you brought me something spectacular
Halloween came and you turned my face into Dracula’s
I could count on gifts from you for every report card
It gave me the drive to succeed so I’d always work hard
When shopping with you, I’d get a new pair of shoes
So I could leave class early you’d make up an excuse
Plus all my friends love you, even way more than your baked goods
No one makes lasagna any better than you could
And you should know I’ll always be there for you
Just like you were there for me for everything I went through
So when I get the chance I’m gunna buy you a house
And Imma rap this song for you whenever you’re in the crowd
You lift me when I’m down and whenever you’re around
I wanna let you know that I am proud to be your child
Growing up I never had a clue
Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove
But when they asked me what I wanted to do
I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
Growing up I never had a clue
Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove
But when they asked me what I wanted to do
I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
