Bada$$, Joey - Like Me Lyrics
[Intro - Joey Bada$$:]
One time
What's the word
What's the word
What's the word
Turn me up on the headphones
[Verse 1 - Joey Bada$$:]
If looks could kill I let the swank drill like a deadly weapon
I drop bombs on an enemy at any second
Look at me wrong I turn you to tomb stones
Lock you in the crosses, and you gone, then I throw my deuce up
Sip sangrita's with your señorita, like me gusta
See with that early morning cockadoo up to your rooster
I bet my cockiness will boost her confidence
[Refrain 1 - Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid:]
I bet she get low for a nigga like me
She get low for a nigga like me
I bet she get low for a nigga like me
Low for a nigga like me
[Verse 2 - Joey Bada$$:]
So we burn the mary jane til' the third degree
Some niggas bitin' flows yo, that's burglary
Same niggas actin' like they never heard of me
A fuck nigga could get clocked, yo that's word to me
[Refrain 2 - Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid:]
He get blown for a nigga like
Get his head explode for a nigga like me
Put him on the floor for a nigga like me
[Verse 3 - Joey Bada$$:]
My mind boggles when time toggles
In the ocean of stars it's hard to find goggles, we twist it up
So we put it in the air
Don't let the j's start unravelling
We gettin' blown like a javelin
She throw it back like she time travelin'
Rocked the boat so well, she jumped out and started paddling
I'm screaming "land ho!" 'bout to hit for sure
I motorboat it slow then I ripped the flow
I'm pretty sure, like nice beat, this that
Even at my weakest I still leave her speechless
How you like those peaches?
Find me rotting the apple
'Bout to bump so plump, 'bout to lock in the grapple
Feeling like the highest man about to tackle
Facts like the chat under the cap of the Snapple
Cats get decapitated for actin' a fool
Blacks get their ass sprayed just for makin' a move
[Refrain 3 - Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid:]
We get high and say "fuck the police"
That’s why we get high and say "fuck the police"
That’s why we get high and say "fuck the police"
[Verse 4 - Joey Bada$$:]
Cause every time I make a move they be sweatin' me
They want another black man in penitentiary
It's even hard for that man standing next to me
Cause he could catch a bullet that was really meant for me
It's like every step bring me close to destiny
And every breath I get closer to the death of me
I'm just tryna carry out my own legacy
But the place I call home ain't lettin' me
[Refrain 4 - Joey Bada$$:]
You can't get by if you don't respect an OG
You can't get by if you don't respect an OG
You can't get by if you don't respect an OG
[Verse 5 - Joey Bada$$:]
Cause every corner I turn a nigga testing me
And every morning I mourn just for the less of me
Sometimes I ask the Lord why he be blessing me
And not my brothers whose souls now rest in peace
[Refrain 5 - Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid:]
I pray there's hope for a nigga like me
Hope for a nigga like me
Just pray there's hope for a nigga like me
[Verse 6 - Joey Bada$$:]
I'm something like the chairman of the board, ranted
I feel, invincible, like McMahon
One of the last original emcees that's left standing on the planet
Strike like a meteor, do remedial damage, damnit
Cats can't stand it, get they ass handed and branded
By the lyrical New York City bandit
True warrior like rembrandt
Yo some cats claim they fly but really been landed
I really can't stand it
Let me take a seat, this a Rosa Parks 'ol bum, now
Make some room for me
PE in your beeper, hun you can read it and weep
My old hoes call me now, leave a message after the beep
I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak
I don't wanna speak no I don't wanna speak
I just wanna be good, I just wanna be
I just wanna be free
[Refrain 5 - Joey Bada$$ & BJ The Chicago Kid:]
I pray there's hope for a nigga like me
Hope for a nigga like me
Just pray there's hope for a nigga like me

Great Song n video

after seeing my niggas dropping left and right I hope joey thrives and doesn't die aswell we need the new generation to stay as long as possible.
I miss this Joey
I love the beats like this it reminds me of the good old days of rap
☝✌👇☝✌
2020🔥🌊🌊🐥classic
Joey badass the only new artist I listen to that's it
5 years later more people are dancing
This is musical poetry forsure.
NEED SOME NEW GROVE FOR THE 20 ERA, TILL THEN ILL JUST STAY WITH THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS 👌💯
Never caught onto joey till late, him and steez was something else. Hopefully Joey gets the credit he deserves.
This is Bada$$!!
Joey and Kendrick on top😤
Every beat just hits my soul different
tru warrior like rembrandt
Who else think this can be a movie
THAT'S WHY WE GET HIGH
SAY FUCK THA POLICE!! .I.
It’s been almost 5 years since B4.DA.$$ came out and this will forever be my favorite track off the album. Along with Christ Conscious & Big Dusty
Also Hazeus View and On & On. Those perfectly sum up my 5 favourites from the album
Did your copy of B4.DA.$$ not have paper trails.
Paper Trail$ was also good. The only thing I wished was that the Greenwood Interrupted was a full song. That beat was too dope to just be an interlude
This tune! 🔥
Makes me think of Bj Chicago and Kendrick Lamar collab on his pineapple now n layers album
It’s about to be 2020 guys
why that bald dude look like Charlamagne
1:11 when the iPhone 6 was the newest phone at the time... Damn so many years has gone by

Then you gon' wonder where your highness went
I bet she get low for a nigga like me
She get low for a nigga like me
I bet she get low for a nigga like me
Low for a nigga like me
So we burn the mary jane til' the third degree
Some niggas bitin' flows yo, that's burglary

Rocked the boat so well, she jumped out and started paddling

This is forever
This video still gives me chills every time I watch it. A masterpiece.
Fuck this ni**a.. he was such a amazing rapper... now he just a MARIONETTE
This mf jus pulled a gold trey
Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown In The end. So deep
1:05 thats when u know- she wasnt shiit to begin with .. lool xD
Joey is Biggie's successor
Kdot is 2pacs successor
Big Krit is Andre 3000s successor
Logic is Eminem's successor
Lil Simz is MC Lyte's successor
I feel invicibeel! Ahaha fuck yeh that bit is price
Even though dis got 9mil views for sum reason i feel like dis song is still heavily underrated
definitely
Alto teema anigooooooo
Who still listening to dis 2019???
yea but joey went sellout and thats sad
Bro everyday this my favorite joint
@Giorgi Shubladze His last record didn't even go mainstream(Escape from NY), just becuase hes mainly performing now and doing feats in Mr Robot and shit doesnt mean he sellout. That's the problem with coming from the underground. Ppl always claim someone changed.
well yehhh no duh, also true about lettin him blow up, sellout charges are bullsh, let the man succeed for fuks sake
This song and video is so damn genius
Took me years to get it "im pretty sure( pretty sho/ pretty shore) like nice beaches 🤯
“I pray it’s hope for a nigga like me“ 💫
joey why the hell did you not just stop
Many laughed when I showed this video but I understood everything even more........
We are all powerful.... I’m not the only artist saying this. Many got killed for information but what are waiting for to understand deeply????
I had this fear at 13... and it was nothing but laughter in the car....
This song is the shit
This one went over many heads.
"Some cats claim they fly but really Bin L(an)din"
true herban legends ........i miss steez
One word....REALEST
cops cant shoot you for runing inles you have something
todos tus temas me an inspirado muchisimo puro love the hiphop
years have past, yall still don't understand how important this is
5:12When my crush who doesn't know shes my crush fake cheats on me and suddenly finds herself a lil boyfriend and her life is perfect
Somebody knows the samples used in here?
I've been listening to HH since I was 14, now I'm 26. Sometimes, I ask my self: what would the best HH song be? And I reply to my self saying that is impossible to choose just one song as the best. However, when I listen to that: this drum line, Dilla's sample, the doubles and triples, Joey, and this video... I think, maybe, this is the greatest HH song of all time.
Joey so underrated but man he is top 3 lyrical emcees of this generation period
holy shit this video.. how have I not seen it before
Oh man, I don’t understand why ou got shot in here. This is such a stupid situation where we cannot point fingers but the gun made it end up too drastic. I guess they could have easily cleared the air with a talk or a little fistfight. Where the gun came to take it over it all turned the wrong way. I can understand somehow that the police decided to shoot the man with the gun, but it was not right to kill him. They didn’t even know what was going on. And than when Joey stood there watching he made the mistake to start running. That’s why he made himself suspect. He’s already expecting the police to come for him. The shooting was so unnecessary cause Joey never even touched the gun. 3 young people down... and their story...no one will ever know. Police could be helpful if they first tried to talk. The guns were the disaster in this. Again!!
And now this story just ends with 3 people dead and there won’t even be a case. Awful way to loose your loved ones.
2019 to listen!!!

Sound like Bilal on backs
Humanity is doomed. I love you Joey.
This is real Hip-Hop.
Screw those cringey ass mumble rappers.
LMFAO!!!
Now this is rap
Can someone tell me why the cop started chasing Joey at the end? He recognized him but he didn't do anything wrong.
I kinda wish joey was on the samurai champloo soundtrack
one of da last original mc's left standing... this song and music video are like drinking from a fountain of soul
Mick Jenkins who?
This song shows his lyrical ability , flowing easily . This fool is good asf
When he brought back Trayvon and the police brutality I got hella chills
Forgot how great this video is.
I’ve listened to this song so much that I know all the words to this song.
I just remembered this song and im so happy i came back. So much has changed in my life but i still love this song and joey deeply. <3 you if you see this
new songs with no meaning get 10,000,000 first couple weeks, meanwhile joey creates the most amazing magical piece [peace] of art and still gets slept on.... :/ 4 years and still underrated as f
Still my favorite track 👑
#iLLStill smh
Still be a bomb 💣 Nigga
amazing... thats all i can say, this is a masterpiece, real rap, this kids beyond his time
I love when Joey does music videos like these. They’re so deep go so well with the song. I hope he does more coming up
I FEEL inVinciBile!
fire fire ofc but how tf u get shot in the back running and end up on ur back??lmaooo
2019 MO FUCKAAASS
4 years later still a dope song 🔥🔥
This video is fire 🔥
stop comparing things, just enjoy the music or don't
Hit the blunt to this, never looked at it the same way again smh this nigga raw
best song and best video
In an interview Joey said that if MF DOOM was commercial he wouldn't be MF DOOM.
If Joey was so popular as Kendrick, he wouldn't be Joey.
Does the views on a video really make you reconsider if a song is dope? If this had 100 views it would be as dope.
PS. I like that the cop that shot him in the video is black, because the message of this song has nothing to do with race.
Naw it does
Muito boa musica boa
The fact that I am blown away by this and this was in 2015 is beyond crazzy!
Joey and the whole Pro Era family : We love and need yall...DAMN!
What's the word word
