jeremiah watts - false prophets lyrics

verse 1:
i said since a teen, my destiny, was the penitentiary
having dreams of them cops tryin to get me
my mama screaming, my brothers yellin out my name
i believe i died at 13 because i yearned the fame
i’m not heartless
i jus learned how to use my heart less
cuz once your let your guard down, them b+tches wanna start sh+t
it’s tragic
you punks be spittin cap in ya rap
whatever u put out into the world
will come right back
i know rappers, that like to use big words
to get their songs heard all over the world
living in the dark, but i still maintain a smile
my poppa was a real hustler, working two jobs
to put food on the table, and to take care of his kids
he sat me down at the dinner table and told me this
he said, be urself, give them the real you
and i jus wanna say poppa i love you dude
he heard my rap, he knew i wanna be heard
used to come in late night, to watch me write these words
my mama was the dreamer, but he believed in reality
he told me you have to work, to get respected as a human being
my wisdom shows n+ggas, they don’t have to be another statistic
i got young thugs showing me mad love from queens to brooklyn
my poppa is the definition of a real n+gga
and i hope to be like him, when i get older
hook(2x):
somebody should’ve told me it would be like this
be like this, be like this
somebody should’ve told me it would be like this
be like this, be like this

verse 2:
young kids on the block, screamin “f+ck a cop”
my n+ggas took it serious, but i was doing it for attention
in order to be respected, some n+ggas will do the unthinkable
and now i’m crying, cuz them n+ggas ain’t here no more
life is a war, some n+ggas don’t believe in the word anymore
rest in peace, to them fallen soldiers
and rest in peace to them lost prophets
how i got this knowledge is wild, a fatherless child
who wasn’t loud, but had dreams of rocking the crowd
but now i care nothing bout the critics, m+th+f+ck what they gotta say
cuz at the end of the day, i make my music for the whole human race to relate
m+th+f+ck the hate, if u got sum to say, say it to my m+th+f+cking face
but the people who listened and took in the knowledge i conveyed
wanted to give u the real me, that’s why i changed my name
the real god is in you, not the celebrities
do i do it for love, or do i want these n+ggas to actually worship me?
it’s hurts to see, these n+ggas slowly deteriorate
i used to idolize that n+gga, and every word that he say
was music to my ears, but now i see it clear
these n+ggas liars, plz be careful what u take in
don’t ever sleep on ya dreams
the sky’s the limit
always put ya heart in it
and jus continue to pray for these false prophets
hook 4x:
somebody should’ve told me it would be like this
be like this, be like this
somebody should’ve told me it would be like this
be like this, be like this
