Be Like You - Nay Nay

Hey Momma

You didn’t think I was going to make you a song, did you?

Well this one’s for you, yeah

Growing up I never had a clue

Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove

But when they asked me what I wanted to do

I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you

Growing up I never had a clue

Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove

But when they asked me what I wanted to do

I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you

From teaching me to speak, write my name, and then to read

To telling me you love me every night before I sleep

I just can’t thank you enough, I cannot express my love

For everything you did for me while I was growing up

I could never give back silence for the times that I was loud

Though I wish to give you diamonds and to live to make you proud

You are appreciated, and the reason that I made it

If it wasn’t for you I would never be motivated

Every soccer game you went to, the trouble that you went through

To make sure I was happy and were someone i could to vent to

I could never pay you back but I thank you with this track

You can play it through your speakers whenever I make you mad

I’m sorry in advance, I’d never do that intentional

It happens on occasion after some pointless tension builds

You said to be respectful and to eat all of my vegetables

I try my best live like you cause your life’s so impeccable

Growing up I never had a clue

Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove

But when they asked me what I wanted to do

I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you

Growing up I never had a clue

Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove

But when they asked me what I wanted to do

I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you

I could count on your support for all of my dreams

When I was home sick, would give me the care that I’d need

And at lunch time visits, you brought me something spectacular

Halloween came and you turned my face into Dracula’s

I could count on gifts from you for every report card

It gave me the drive to succeed so I’d always work hard

When shopping with you, I’d get a new pair of shoes

So I could leave class early you’d make up an excuse

Plus all my friends love you, even way more than your baked goods

No one makes lasagna any better than you could

And you should know I’ll always be there for you

Just like you were there for me for everything I went through

So when I get the chance I’m gunna buy you a house

And Imma rap this song for you whenever you’re in the crowd

You lift me when I’m down and whenever you’re around

I wanna let you know that I am proud to be your child

Growing up I never had a clue

Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove

But when they asked me what I wanted to do

I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you

Growing up I never had a clue

Of what I wanted to be or what I’m trying to prove

But when they asked me what I wanted to do

I’d say: I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
