KOKANE - What It’s Like to Be Me lyrics

rate me

Feat. Isaiah & Aanisah Long

(Intro)

Here we are arrived at the last part of my album

And you know I have to touch on smth really real deep

Cause they don't know what it's like to walk in yo shoes

Testimony like Hill Street Blue

(Verse)

A ghetto child is born with no state of mind

Lied to the ways of mankind

You see God in his mother's eyes as he's embraced with a hug

And that's the very first time that he knows and he feels love

Innocence of a child is pure in perfection

Until he gon' meet pain, it's like an infection

Now his innocence, God took him at an early age

Grown up in a house full, a house full of rage

(Hook)

Heavy on my mind, wash away the pain, let it rain

You don't know what it's like to be me

All the crazy things in life that we go through

Can nobody walk in my shoes

You don't know what it's like to be me

(Verse)

Some don't have a clue what life's all about

Cause crying on the inside is lesser on the out

We can come to a point in our life when it's time to change

And realize why we went through all the pain

If they only knew what it's like to go in my shoes

You would feel much better bout struggles that you go through

(Hook)

Heavy on my mind, wash away the pain, let it rain

You don't know what it's like to be me

All the crazy things in life that we go through

Can nobody walk in my shoes

You don't know what it's like to be me

(Verse)

The love we once possessed, as a child

Is the love that he feels is now goin' outta style

It's hard to smile when there's nothin' to smile about

So he grows up following, following a different route

He starts slangin' and bangin', hangin' with the thugs

That seems to be the only place he really feel love

You gonna strive to be me

You never worry about death until it hit close to home

But I'm here to tell you my friends that you're not alone

I used to think to myself, how can God love me and let me go through so much harm?

When all along he was carrying me in his arms

Now I claim the victory and give it to the most taught

With glory. And when the world hear me speak

I got a cold ass testimony

To help someone, for love is the key

And that kid I'm talkin' bout, that kid is me
