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
