WEBVTT
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:15.000
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.700
Be like this, be like this
00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:20.600
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.100
Yeah, life is a balance
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:25.300
You lose your grip, you can
slip into an abyss
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:26.800
No doubt, you see these niggas trippin'
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.200
Ego in charge of every move, he's a star
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.200
And we can't look away due to
the days that he caught our
hearts
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:34.300
He's fallin' apart, but we deny it
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.800
Justifying that half ass shit
he dropped, we always buy it
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.300
When he tell us he a genius
but it's clearer lately
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.000
It's been hard for him to look
into the mirror lately
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.700
There was a time when this
nigga was my hero, maybe
00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:48.300
That's the reason why his fall
from grace is hard to take
00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:50.900
'Cause I believed him when he
said his shit was purer and he
00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:53.500
The type of nigga swear he
real but all around him's fake
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:56.000
The women, the dickriders, you
know, the yes men
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.800
Nobody with the balls to say
somethin' to contest him
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.500
So he grows out of control
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:03.800
Into the person that he truly
was all along, it's startin'
to show
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.500
Damn, wonder what happened
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.800
Maybe it's my fault for idolizin' niggas
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.500
Based off the words they be rappin'
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:12.200
But come to find out, these
niggas don't even write they
shit
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.900
Hear some new style bubblin'
up, then they bite this shit
00:01:15.100 --> 00:01:17.100
Damn, that's what I get for
lyin' to myself
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:19.800
Well, fuck it, what's more
important is he's cryin' out
for help
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.400
While the world's eggin' him
on, I'm beggin' him to stop it
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:24.800
Playin' his old shit, knowin'
he won't top it
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.700
False prophets
00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.300
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:31.900
Be like this, be like this
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:36.000
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this, be like this
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.500
False prophets (La-la-la-la-
la-la, la-la-la…)
00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:39.900
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:42.600
Be like this, be like this
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.900
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:47.100
Yeah, false prophets
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:49.000
I got a homie, he a rapper and
he wanna win bad
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.600
He want the fame, the acclaim,
the respect that's been had
00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:54.500
By all the legends, so every
time I see him, he stressin'
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:57.100
Talkin' 'bout, niggas don't
fuck with him, this shit is
depressin'
00:01:57.300 --> 00:01:59.600
And I know he so bitter he
can't see his own blessings
00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:03.100
Goddamn, nigga, you too blind
to see you got fans, nigga
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:05.400
And a platform to make a
classic rap song
00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:07.800
To change a nigga's life, but
you too anxious livin' life
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.500
Always worried 'bout the
critics who ain't ever fuckin'
did it
00:02:10.700 --> 00:02:13.200
I write what's in my heart,
don't give a fuck who fuckin'
with it
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.000
But in a sense I can relate,
the need to be great
00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:18.500
Turns into an obsession and
keeps a nigga up late
00:02:18.700 --> 00:02:21.400
Writin' words, hopin' people
observe the dedication
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:23.900
That stirs in you constantly,
but intentions get blurred
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:26.800
Do I do it for the love of the
music or is there more to me?
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.700
Do I want these niggas to worship me?
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:30.400
False prophets
00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:33.300
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:36.000
Be like this, be like this
00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:39.500
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this, be like
this
00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:41.300
False prophets (La-la-la-la-
la-la, la-la-la…)
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:44.200
Somebody shoulda told me it
would be like this
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.500
Be like this, be like this
00:02:46.700 --> 00:02:49.700
Somebody shoulda told me...........
