I Want to Be Like You

I wish i was tall like you
I wish i could ball like you, like you
You know i like to walk like you, like you
Thats why i talk like you, like you whoody whooo
[lil' romeo]
When i grow up i wanta be just like you
Eat drink sleep whatever, just like you
Finish school cause bein a fool ain't cool
When i walk past them same corners just like you
I got hopes and dreams
By the time i'm thirteen i wanta tote around the whole world
Know what i mean?
I play ball like you used to crawl like you
I had 36 the other day, i even score like you, walk like you, talk you
Everything i do my friends say remind me of you
Its you, who made me act like i do
It was you who told me what i could and couldn't do
Never told me no, just advised me of what to do
Kept me bouncin balls as i recall the age of two, shootin freethrows
Okay i made a few
Dad where you at? i need you in the booth
[chorus: lil' romeo, repeat 2x]

Its a family thing, so i got your back
I mean we teammates son like kobe and shaq
And when your momma tell you somethin i mean listen to her whodi
Respect your elders that what your granpa told me
I mean times have change we growin up together
The first father and son to rap and blow up together
Blood is thicker than water
I know you tougher than leather
But i be on you cause i want you to do better
I done been on these streets, i done lived that life
I mean why do wrong and you can do right
Say no to drugs
Education goes far
You can be a doctor lawyer politician or star
You wanta be like me son then make me proud
And when you get that diploma don't forget to smile
[chorus: lil' romeo, repeat 2x]
[lil' romeo]
Yo pops you tha one
[master p]
Yo son you tha one
I love you son
[lil' romeo]
I love you pops
[master p]
Cause when its all said and done, we all we got
But we won't stop, we won't stop, this no limit family we won't stop
