Braden Ross - I Bet You Like That Lyrics

      

i bet you like that
by Braden Ross

Intro
I bet you like that tryna tell me who I am again
And when I fight back you say I'm all up in my head
I'm not an asset 'cause all we ever do is play pretend
Yeah I just want what I don't have yet
Means that justify the ends

Verse 1
You got me lost but now I found it
I'm breaking off ain't no way around it
Flex for flexing no really can't live without it?
Yelling extra extra I'll make them read all about it
Young man shot dead in the streets
Like it's a crime to try and get his family something to eat
And then they trivialize it evеry night of the week
Whatever shit it fucking takеs to get some eyes on a screen
Headlines don't matter to me
Shit I already know
We'd all rather slash our throats before letting this one go

Pre-Chorus
It's so unnatural to be (composed of power and greed)
Just fucking let me be me (just fucking leave me be)

Chorus
I bet you like that tryna tell me who I am again
And when I fight back you say I'm all up in my head
I'm not an asset 'cause all we ever do is play pretend
Yeah I just want what I don't have yet
Means that justify the ends

Verse 2
They always told me what it matters to be
Somebody with natural potential, the smartest fish in the sea
I find it really fucking funny that without no degree
It's like I'm useless; non-essential
Less deserving of peace
So fuck it I don't want it
Got a switchblade in my pocket
Rather die by being honest
Than to live like how they want us to
Shit feels so hypnotic
Only worth what's in your wallet
Oh you didn't go to college?
Yeah have fun being impoverished dude

Chorus
I bet you like that tryna tell me who I am again
And when I fight back you say I'm all up in my head
I'm not an asset 'cause all we ever do is play pretend
Yeah I just want what I don't have yet
Means that justify the ends
Oh
