LIKE IT WAS Lyrics by Jerreau

WHY SOME PEOPLE BE MAD AT ME

2024

[ INTRO ]

YEAH
ITS BANKREAU
ITS JERREAU
LOOK

[ VERSE ]

EVERYBODY WANT IT 'TILL THE BILL COME, I BEEN SAYIN' 'CHECK PLEASE'
I'M BACK OUTSIDE, AIN'T NO THREAT TO ME
R&B NIGGAS SENT SECURITY TO PRESS ME
NIGGAS WANNA SULLY MY NAME, THROW DIRT ON ME
AND STILL I RISE, THE POET IN ME
BIG BANKREAU, YOU CAN'T WASH OR LAUNDER ME
I STOP LOOKIN' UP, AIN'T NOBODY I'D RATHER BE
YOU STAND ON MY SHOULDER, ONLY GOD LOOK DOWN ON ME
THESE NIGGAS WON'T HOLD ME BACK
GET PAPER LIKE PAYSTUB, THEN BLOW IT LIKE ZIG-ZAG
PLEASE GOD, MAKE ME GOOD, BUT NOT YET
200 PLUS DOWN THIS WEEK, IT COULD BE BAD
BUT I BEEN POPPIN' AND YOU BOYS BEEN FLAT
BOYS BEEN POCKET WATCHIN' BOYS BEEN FED
AND STILL WANNA EAT OFF OF ME
AIN'T THAT A BITCH

[ Chorus ]

UH
LIKE IT WAS
I'M DOIN' BETTER NOW, 'CAUSE THAT WASN'T THAT GOOD
AND YALL HOLDIN' ON, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LOOKIN' GOOD
BUT YOU SHOULD LET GO 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS
UH
LIKE IT WAS
DOIN' BETTER NOW, 'CAUSE THAT WASN'T THAT GOOD
AND YALL HOLDIN' ON, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LOOKIN' GOOD
BUT YOU SHOULD LET GO 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS
UH

[ VERSE ]

I PUT ACTION BEHIND MY WORD LIKE I'M SIGNIN'
PAPER WENT DIGITAL LIKE AN ASSIGNMENT
YOU TELL HIM, "DON'T TRY IT," YOU'LL FEEL IT LIKE STATE VIOLENCE
I GOT EM, BUT FUCK GOLD AND DIAMONDS
Y'ALL JUST SAY SHIT, AND LOVE TO SAY IT WHEN YOU RHYMIN'
THE SKY IS FALLIN', POLITICIANS ARE LYIN'
YOU VOTE AGAINST YOUR INTEREST, EVERY TIME YOU CHIME IN
I DON'T WANNA SEAT AT THE TABLE, THIS AIN'T A DINE-IN
WE EATIN' OUTSIDE, IT'S A DRIVE-IN, NOW WHO RIDIN?
I PULL UP, WHITE FOLK ROLL THEY WINDOWS UP, I JUST TURN SOUND UP
I COULD GIVE A MOTHER FUCK
I CAME IN THIS GAME WANTIN' MORE THAN ENOUGH
NOW I KNOW, WHAT'S FOR ME IS JUST ENOUGH (YEAH)
YOU KNOW IT'S UP, THEN ITS STUCK
AND AIN'T NO GOIN' BACK LIKE IT WAS
NAH

[ Chorus ]

UH
LIKE IT WAS
I'M DOIN' BETTER NOW, 'CAUSE THAT WASN'T THAT GOOD
AND YALL HOLDIN' ON, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LOOKIN' GOOD
BUT YOU SHOULD LET GO 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS
UH
LIKE IT WAS
DOIN' BETTER NOW, 'CAUSE THAT WASN'T THAT GOOD
AND YALL HOLDIN' ON, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT LOOKIN' GOOD
BUT YOU SHOULD LET GO CAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS

[ OUTRO ]

IT'S NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS
NOR WILL IT EVER BE MORE THAN WHAT IT IS
BITCH
