[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 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 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]
|
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 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
|
