Be Like You by Esoterik Lyrics
[Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
If you want it
I can be it
You need to come down from
What you’re dealin’
I used to be like you
But I just woke up
From the dancin’
And from all the drugs
[Verse 1: Esoterik]
Yo
What a trip how life changes (yeah)
When you and yourself become strangers (uh)
And it’s a shame that
To get by we get high to live painless
You better get off the pavement
Don’t let Father Time get wasted (get out)
They got you stuck in a cage, kid
And you’re the only one who can change it
So, take it, shape it, break the cycle
And pardon my late arrival
I was out there runnin’ away
Where life was right in front of my face
So, right now I’ma let this fly
‘Cause this time, I’ma get shit right
Unplugged from the powers that be like
Once I was blind, but now I can see
[Pre-Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
I can see why you like it
I can see what you want
I can see why you like it
I can see what you want
[Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
If you want it
I can be it
You need to come down from
What you’re dealin’
I used to be like you
But I just woke up
From the dancin’
And from all the drugs
[Post-Chorus: Asta]
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
[Verse 2: Esoterik]
Yo
Lemme show you how to live, love, laugh
Motherfucker, I’ve been levelin’ up
And if you stick to the plans you make
It’s a brand new day, and it’s better than drugs
There’s a universe in every thought you have
So, when you go for it, give it all you can
I caught you falling and I brought me back
Now I got a little man, and he calls me dad
And every day is a blessing
I don’t care what the rest think
I am me and I’m finally free
So, let’s flip them off from this X-Wing
Fightin’ for freedom
I’m flyin’ right through the ceilin’
Despite the size of my demons
I gave this life of mine meanin’, yo
So whatever it takes, I’ma do it, don’t doubt it
I’ma split the river, I’ma move this mountain
I came here just to say to you
That “I ain’t gonna quit until you make it through”
It goes one for the magic of music
Two for the fact you can use it
To heal your soul and love your life
So, come find me on the other side
[Pre-Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
I can see why you like it
I can see what you want
I can see why you like it
I can see what you want
[Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
If you want it
I can be it
You need to come down from
What you’re dealin’
I used to be like you
But I just woke up
From the dancin’
And from all the drugs
[Post-Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
I used to be like you
Be like you, be like you
[Bridge: Esoterik & James Crooks]
Everything’s okay (everything’s okay)
Everything’s alright (everything’s alright)
Everywhere I go (everywhere I go)
All I do is shine (all I do is shine)
Everything’s okay (everything’s okay)
Everything’s alright (everything’s alright)
Everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
All you do is shine (all you do is shine)
[Chorus: James Crooks & Asta]
If you want it
I can be it
You need to come down from
What you’re dealin’
I used to be like you
But I just woke up
From the dancin’
And from all the drugs
[Outro: James Crooks & Asta]
I used to be like you
