Joyner Lucas – Just Like You lyrics

I don't wanna be nothing like you
I don't wanna be just like you
I don't wanna be anything like you
I don't wanna be just like you

Look, I don't wanna be no fuck nigga
I don't wanna sell drugs, nigga
I don't wanna fuck mad hoes and then claim I can't find love with 'em
I don't wanna be no super thug
I don't ever wanna get tripped up
I don't wanna get drunk and high and spend all my time in the strip club
Look, I don't wanna ever go to jail and shit
Serve time and get bail and shit
Be a bum and start stealing shit, fuck around and die and go to hell and shit
Yo, I don't wanna be jobless
And I don't wanna be heartless
Run around, tryna start shit, pickin' fights, thinkin' I'm hot shit, yeah
I don't wanna become vengeful
And I ain't into what you're into
Pray to god I don't run into someone just like you
My one issue, hope one day, that shit does hit you
'Cause you so goddamn judgemental and I don't wanna, look

I don't wanna be nothing like you
I don't wanna be anything like you
I don't wanna be-e-e just like you
I don't wanna be anything like you
I don't wanna become just like you
I don't wanna be just like you
I don't wanna be-e-e just like you
I don't wanna be nothing like you

Uh, I don't wanna be hopeless
A pretty girl with no focus
A single mom with like four kids, never had much, never owned shit
And no school and no diplomas
Dropped out and don't know shit
Steady sticking my nose in on your business, spreading rumors, uh
I don't wanna be chasing guys
Half ratchet, half saint defied
Giving all your friends lame advice, always going out, can't stay inside, yeah
I don't wanna become trife
Content with my fucked-up life
Little attitude, acting uptight, never had a clue but I love fights, no
I don't wanna smoke cancer sticks
Going out every chance I get
I love the truth but can't handle it
Tryna cover bruises with bandages but I hope one day, that shit does hit you
'Cause you so goddamn judgemental and I don't wanna have, pfft

I don't wanna be nothing like you
I don't wanna be anything like you
I don't wanna be-e-e just like you
I don't wanna be anything like you
I don't wanna become just like you
I don't wanna be just like you
I don't wanna be-e-e just like you
I don't wanna be nothing like you

I need someone to look up to
A role model I could run to
When I feel lost and I'm confused and I'm outta touch with my young roots
I need confidence, all that I can get
And I love you and your common sense
'Cause lately, I've been tryna live this thug life and I'm not convinced
Look, I love how you handle your own
Glad you are the king to your own castle
You handle life when it's thrown at you
Never curl up, never 'fo fragile, I need you to be here, regardless
Teach me how to be there for my kids
Show me how to be fearless often, I need real guidance, I am scared of options
Because of you, I've got a clearer conscience
Because of you, I'm not scared of monsters
Because of you, I'm not afraid of failure
My life was blurry, you made it clearer
And God forbid, if you died now
I know that I'll be well taken care of
I know you'll be there waiting for me

I just wanna be just like you
I wanna be anything like you
I wanna be just like you

Yo, what's up, this is Joyner, I'm unable to take your call right now
Leave me a brief message and I'll get back to you, peace

"It's really Valentine's Day and I'm sitting here thinking I'm about to get a gift from this man
But this man can't even buy me a good dress because it's fucking Tuesday
So why should I expect a gift on Valentine's Day?
And I'm here chewing on some fucking bubblegum waiting on some hard dick
That's probably in the next bitch right now
So you know what? I'mma go find me my own chocolate"
