D. Monroe - Like You

Ain't nobody cooler
The way that you maneuver
I tried to match your fly step for step, I'm your junior
I get why you and mom didn't make it
You was young, wasn't ready at the time
And let's face it, in your prime
I would see you with these dimes
Damn it's so and so, poppa was a playa
But made time for his little man, practicing my layups
At the park, with some Jordan's on always kept my layup
Fresh part, went to Mr. Sam had the sharpest shape ups
Always counting paper, taught me how the money supposed to flip
Taught me family over money, only loyalty legit
Made me stronger than a bull
I was stubborn as a mule
Now I'm looking in the mirror, really wishing it was you
Like you, like you, like you, like you
Growing up the only thing I wanted was to be like you
All I ever needed in my life was a father like you
Some days I just need to talk to somebody like you
One day I hope that I'm man enough to stand in your shoes
You grew up in a blink of an eye
You was a bump in mommy's belly now you rolling your eyes
Source of my pride
You the best of me
Can't even describe the type of love
I'm a better me, you keep me in line
I ain't perfect I apologize for me and your mom
You only 10, but you're smart enough to read between lines
Became a man when I recognized that I am your example of a man
When these little guys try to hold your hand
I know it's hard I got a lot of rules, but I'm your biggest fan
For the moments when I'm not around, just always have a plan
Life will show you what you can't do, focus on the things you can
Remember happiness a choice that some will never understand
Like you, like you, like you, like you
The day you were born you will never meet nobody like you
Give it all, no conditions, I could never love somebody like you
Some days I just need to talk to somebody like you
If I made a perfect person, I'd be lucky if they came out like you
You taught me how to love
Then you taught me how to lose
Humble ain't the word, got me looking all confused
Looking in your eyes and it clearly mean the flame
I'm giving jealous little vibes and that really ain't my thing
Entertaining other women, but all I really want is your attention
Plus got other drama adding to the tension
You might catch me reminiscing
Can we take it back when shit was different?
You my best friend, sometimes I really miss it
Ain't nobody
Like you, like you, like you, like you
I met a lot of women, but I never met nobody like you
My heart beat different never fell for nobody like you
Some days I just need to talk to somebody like you
If I ever love again it would have to be somebody like you
