J.Reyez - Just Like You lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1:]

Watching my videos, people think that I'm a star

But a star that can't afford to drive a car

Exercise everyday cause I'm always walking

Fans anticipating on my tracks to be dropping

Back to the office lab to record again

Chillin' in my white tee, buttoned up cardigan

Winter time I'm suffering in the cold weather

3 layers and on top is an old sweater

To live a dream where my name is in bold letters

They say it's all about dreams, I was told better

With no action uh you just slackin

Nope, you won't get none of life's satisfactions

I'm grinding don't you get it? gotta keep up with an image

When I drop that real sh*t do any y'all even listen?

Uh cause I don't fit your description

Of what a rapper's suppose to look like so you be trippin?

[Chorus:]

I'm just like you, you, so don't be fooled

I'm getting a little known so you think I'm cool

Videos, oh you think I'm rich

With material things, it's making me sick

Like you, you, sick of these cold streets

And I'm just like you cause I'm trying to succeed

Yeah, chasing this so called dream

But I'm just like you, I'm just like you

[Verse 2:]

I ask god will I make it? get out of this damn basement?

A new challenge everyday is what my life's facing

They say I'm getting famous but I ask what this fame is?

They say it's like a drug that your ass can start craving

Starting to feel the high, the wants and the needs

Is this the feeling you get when people succeed?

All the cars and the women, it's starting to mislead

It feels so good, you'd be lying if you disagreed

I wanna share this dream, with me and my team

Well it's a good thing I kept a lifetime receipt

I can return it when I feel like I don't want it

Anymore cause responsibility should take caution

And I got this, hope fill up my pockets

That maybe one day, my job won't need to clock in

You can't knock it, no, I'm not ballin'

But watch for that day, you'll see me shot callin'

[Verse 3:]

You know that feeling you get when you're on a verge of success

And the world is a mess, you're suddenly nervous and stressed

Feeling alone like you've been deserted and left

Nothing you do can subdue the hurt in your chest

I'm just like you, don't be surprised

Cause all my life, they ain't wanna see j rise (get it?)

I rose above it, that's how I came up

Hate it or love it, they gotta bring my name up

You see me as an artist but behind that is a man

It's way deeper, I don't look at you as just a fan

Even when I gained weight, they said no one is as sick as jin

That's what I call holding me down through thick and thin

No need to be surprised when I stop and I say hi

And when you hit me up, don't be shocked that I reply

If life's a movie, welcome to my cinema

Check behind the scenes, you'll see our scripts are quite similar
