1
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
2
Be like this, be like this
3
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
4
Yeah, life is a balance
5
You lose your grip, you can slip into an abyss
6
No doubt you see these niggas trippin'
7
Ego in charge of every move, he's a star
8
And we can't look away
9
Due to the days that he caught our hearts
10
He's fallin' apart, but we deny it
11
Justifying that half-ass shit he dropped, we always buy it
12
When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately
13
It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately
14
There was a time when this nigga was my hero, maybe
15
That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take
16
'Cause I believed him when he said his shit was purer and he
17
The type of nigga swear he real but all around him's fake
18
The women, the dickriders, you know, the yes men
19
Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him
20
So he grows out of control
21
Into the person that he truly was all along, it's startin' to show
22
Damn, wonder what happened
23
Maybe it's my fault for idolizing niggas
24
Based off the words that he rappin'
25
When come to find out, these niggas don't even write they shit
26
Hear some new style bubblin' up, then they bite the shit
27
Damn, that's what I get for lyin' to myself
28
Well, fuck it, what's more important is he's cryin' out for help
29
While the world's eggin' him on, I'm beggin' him to stop
30
Playin' his old shit, knowin' he won't top it, false prophets
31
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
32
Be like this, be like this
33
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
34
Be like this (False prophets)
35
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
36
Be like this, be like this
37
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
38
Yeah, false prophets
39
I got a homie, he a rapper and he wanna win bad
40
He want the fame, the acclaim, the respect that's been had
41
By all the legends, so every time I see him, he stressin'
42
Talkin' 'bout, niggas don't fuck with him, the shit is depressin'
43
And I know he so bitter he can't see his own blessings
44
Goddamn, nigga, you too blind to see you got fans, nigga
45
And a platform to make a classic rap song
46
To change a nigga life, but you too anxious livin' life
47
Always worried 'bout the critics who ain't ever fuckin' did it
48
I write what's in my heart, don't give a fuck who fuckin' with it
49
But in a sense I can relate, the need to be great
50
Turns into an obsession and keeps a nigga up late
51
Writin' words, hopin' people observe the dedication
52
That stirs in you constantly, but intentions get blurred
53
Do I do it for the love of the music or is there more to me?
54
Do I want these niggas to worship me? False prophets
55
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
56
Be like this, be like this
57
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
58
Be like this (False prophets)
59
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
60
Be like this, be like this
61
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
62
Yeah, false prophets
63
These rappers insecure
64
They talk about being a man so much I finally understand that they ain't even sure
65
'Bout who they are and why they do this
66
Guess I'm included in that category
67
As a nigga who done had the glory
68
My highest moments come from tellin' all the saddest stories
69
I've seen in my life, I be fiendin' to write
70
Songs that raise the hair on my arms
71
My lowest moments came from tryin' too hard
72
To impress some niggas that couldn't care if I'm on
73
Therefore from here on out, my hair grow out
74
I care nothin' 'bout opinions
75
I wanna give hope like the fountains you throw pennies in
76
Hit the store, take your diss, make your wish
77
This is dedicated to the ones who listen to me on some faithful shit
78
I'm on some thankful shit
79
But the real God is in you, not the music you coppin'
80
I hear my old shit and I know I can top it, false prophets
81
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
82
Be like this, be like this
83
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
84
Be like this (False prophets)
85
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
86
Be like this, be like this
87
Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this
88
False prophets
