about
More Like Me is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and that's why it became my lead single. I loved the chorus, shouts out to the talented Hersh for that one, and I wanted to let these people know why I am who I am. Some people come from nothing and use that as an excuse to strive for nothing. I'm the opposite. I came from the bottom and worked for everything I have. I never got a hand out or a fair deck for that matter but I never let that handicap me. Some say they are a product of their environment, but I rose above the stereotypes and will continue to climb.
lyrics
Hook:
You fucking with the best, the hottest on the block
Every single hood, homeboy I got a spot
And as far as the eye can see
You should be more like me
Verse One:
You should be more like me, cuz I'm more likely
To teach how to do it, if you was poor like me
Grew up in the hood, liquor stores I see
And crackheads on the floor they sleep
The more I see, the more I be
Destined to claim what's in store for me
A diamond in the ruff, from the floor I reach
To the sky, hands high, I be
Back with a vengeance, back with a mission
Back to build upon what we was missing
Back in high school they said we didn't listen
Wouldn't try harder they just got us detention
Said we would never be nothin more then some misfits
And they wonder why we ran the block always in shit
Swear I was innocent, just a product of my environment
Said I wouldn't amount to nothin
Nah, I ain't buying it cuz you
Hook:
You fucking with the best, the hottest on the block
Every single hood, homeboy I got a spot
And as far as the eye can see
You should be more like me
Verse Two:
You fucking wit the best, why yes, I said it
Show you how to get it, we live it in this recession
Where I'm from we don't know about no debit
HDTV, DVR's or how to set it
We don't get credit, for the hardships we survived
They say by 21, we all shoulda died
What type of hope does that provide
For a young male just tryin to live his life
The answer is none, zulch, nada
That's why we spend our money on Gucci, Prada
300's, True Religions no dockers
That's why we gang bang, we grew up with no fathers
Spend our time on the corners with our partners
All we got to look forward to, man I outta
Put this mic down, stop dreaming, I gotta
Fuck that, I'ma keep pushin, call the doctor
You fucking with the best
Hook:
You fucking with the best, the hottest on the block
Every single hood, homeboy I got a spot
And as far as the eye can see
You should be more like me
Verse Three:
I'm the truth in this booth and you love it
Show you how to drop an album with no budget
Bake food for thought then feed it to the public
They hungry, and can't get enough of it
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat always
That's why I spread the game that I learned in life
It's a gamble, gon and roll them dice
They said I shouldn't of survived that heart surgery
Got Angels In The Outfield, spread out an cover me
Bout to pitch a fastball to those that suddenly
Wanna come to bat and be in my company
One strike, your out, I don't give second chances
I'm a diamondback, I strike if you advancing
Go against me, don't hold your breath
Be Charlie Sheen with them porn stars, man you fucking with the fucking with the best
Hook:
You fucking with the best, the hottest on the block
Every single hood, homeboy I got a spot
And as far as the eye can see
You should be more like me
