KJ-52 - They Like Me lyrics

rate me

Ft. Lecrae

[Intro: Lecrae (KJ-52)]

Aiyo KJ people are waiting for us to do something

(That's true)

Let's talk about the elephant in the room though man

(Let's do it!)

[Hook: Lecrae]

They like me forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same we covered by the blood of the King

[Verse 1: Lecrae]

I don’t do black music I don’t do white music

I do fight music unified in Christ music

Let's get right to it hear the music write to it

From the context of a black kid fighting through it

Some folks said it was worldly it was too good

Some folks was scared of it it was too hood

So I took it to the places who would embrace it

And sometimes believe it or not it was white faces

Am I a sellout assimilating what’s in my head

No I am Cyclops homie cause all I see is red

People covered in the blood are my fam

And we don’t just relate we all related through the Lamb

My family tree is a lower case t (a Cross)

And we are all the same cause you need him like me

We different but the same and it’s likely

They just like me that’s probably why they like me

[Hook: Lecrae]

They like me forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same we covered by the blood of the King

They like me they like me they like me

They like me they like me they like me

They say we shouldn’t get along cause our different skin tones

But I promise you they oh so wrong oh so wrong

They like me

[Verse 2: KJ-52]

I got blue eyes light skin and some black curls

Grew up the white kid in a black world

When ya live and ya different well the facts hurt

Moved to the burbs and I don’t fit in that’s worse

I’m just a nerd getting chased home on my bike

After school fight lay in my bed cry at night

Hate the fact that my status read poor and white

And all the rappers I idolize tell me that I’m never right

Now my skin is light and I ain't fitting in

I’m on the outside of hip hop screaming let me in

I’m hooked up with sin hate the very skin I’m in

Cause every time I rhyme they like "look it's Eminem"

Looking back again I’s in the worst place

All I had was beastie boys and third bass

I’m the dude who always come down in 3rd place

Until I heard the story of Your Life and Your Grace

[Hook: Lecrae]

They like me, forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same we covered by the blood of the King

They like me, they like me, they like me

They like me they like me they like me

They say we shouldn’t get along cause our different skin tones

But I promise you they oh so wrong oh so wrong

They like me

[Verse 3: KJ-52]

So on the weekend started seeking looking for the meaning

Heard a pastor preaching couldn’t believe just what I’m seeing

Walked into a church of white blacks and Puerto Ricans

Without a single reason they loved on this little heathen

And with never speaking they just showed me simply

That Jesus is the only one to make me sin free

And beauty is the only thing that’s ever skin deep

I was lonely but a new family is what you give me

So really if we claim now to love the Son

Why we got to segregate Sunday 10-1?

So much to overcome now from what’s been done

But if starts with me (then what?) then I’ll be the one (Okay)

Now ya better run I’m stepping on ya toes

Got ya out ya comfort zone now ya out the boat

If we're a family then let’s grow now and make a home

Let them know you’re my brother no matter what the tone

[Hook: Lecrae]
