They Like Me (feat. Lecrae)

Ayo, KJ, people are waitin' for us to do somethin'

Fasho

Let's talk about the elephant in the room though, man

Let's do it

They like me

Forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same

We covered by the blood of the King

Uh, I don't do black music, I don't do white music

I do fight music unified in Christ music

Let's get right to it, hear the music, write to it

From the context of a black kid fightin' through it

And some folks said it was worldly, it was too good

And some folks was scared of it, it was too hood

So I took it to the places who would embrace it

And sometimes, believe it or not, it was white faces

Am I a sellout assimilatin' what's in my head?

No, I am Cyclops, homie, 'cause all I see is red

People covered in the blood are my fam

And we don't just relate, we all related through the Lamb

My family tree is a lowercase T

And we are all the same 'cause you need Him like me, yeah

We different but the same, and it's likely

They just like me, that's prolly why they like me

They like me

Forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same

We covered by the blood of the King

And they like me, they like me, they like me

They like me, they like me, they like me

They say we shouldn't get along 'cause of different skin tones

But I promise you they oh so wrong

Oh so wrong

They like me

They like me

I got blue eyes, light skin and some black curls

Grew up the white kid in a black world

When you live and you different, well, the facts hurt

Moved to the 'burbs and I don't fit in (And that's worse)

I'm just a nerd gettin' chased home on my bike

After school fight, lay in my bed, cry at night

Hate the fact that my status read poor and white

And all the rappers I idolize tell me that I'm never right

Now my skin is light, and I ain't fit  in

I'm on the outside of hip-hop, screamin', "Let me in"

I'm hooked up with sin, hate the very skin I'm in

'Cause every time I rhyme, they like, "Look, Eminem"

Lookin' back again, I was in the worst place

All I had was Beastie Boys and third base

I'm the dude who always came down in third place

Until I heard the story of Your life and Your grace

They like me

Forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same

We covered by the blood of the King

And they like me, they like me, they like me

They like me, they like me, they like me

They say we shouldn't get along 'cause of different skin tones

But I promise you they oh so wrong

Oh so wrong

They like me

They like me

So on the weekends, started seekin', lookin' for the meanin'

I heard a pastor preaching, couldn't believe just what I'm seein'

Walked into a church of white, blacks, and Puerto Ricans

Without a single reason, they loved on this little heathen

And with never speakin', they just showed me simply

That Jesus is the only one to make me sin-free

The beauty is the only thing that's ever skin-deep

I was lonely but a new family's what You give me

So really if we claim now to love the Son

Why we gotta segregate Sunday 10 to 1?

So much to overcome now from what's been done

But if it starts with me (Then what?), then I'll be the one (Okay)

Now you better run, I'm steppin' on your toes

Got you out your comfort zone, now you're out of the boat

If we're a family, then let's grow now and make a home

Let 'em know you're my brother no matter what the tone, y'all

They like me

Forget about the color I might be

It's likely they just like me

We different but the same

We covered by the blood of the King

And they like me, they like me, they like me

They like me, they like me, they like me

They say we shouldn't get along 'cause of different skin tones

But I promise you they oh so wrong

Oh so wrong

They like me

They like me
