They Want To Be You Lyrics by Lil Durk & Future

Pluto
You wanna say it
Say what— say what you want
Say— say what you want

Real nigga idol, man, they wanna be just like you
You trainin’ hoes to stay on go, I’m just like you
Get plenty women, plenty money, just like you
Bitch dressed in Fendi and designer just like you

Totin’ a semi, it’s extended, I’m just like you
Made it out the bottom, X-pill poppers, I’m just like you
Before I made a million dollars, I paid my dues
I can’t be stopped, I can’t be stopped, I just refuse
Took my time with it, I had to grind for this
Out of my mind for this, canary diamonds
Trust, I’m climbing, got it down to a science
G6, global, that’s what I’m flyin’ in

I had to change my mindset, that’s where you decline at
You don’t know if that’s your baby yet which your lil’ lyin’ ass
They ain’t even hook up my cable yet, my shit was down bad
Bail’s bond say I can’t link with Von, but brodie a Rat Pack
How you take her to Louis Vuitton, but leave your dogs with all tabs?
Took a champagne shower, now she taking all baths
See, I’d rather pay scammers, I had to pay them all half
If you told, you a coward, you gon’ hang with all rats
Hey Smurk, all the kids rap, they wanna be just like you
Hey, Durk, my family hurt me, they did me just like you
Hey, Rapper, I know a street nigga live just like you
The name, the fame, the game, they just like you
When I’m hurt, I don’t wanna vent, mama, I’m just like you
Took my uncle watch to a pawn shop, I’m just like you
Hey Rappy, just keep your mouth closed, there’s somethin’ to lose
Nothin’ to prove, unfortunately, somethin’ to you, ooh

Real nigga idol, man, they wanna be just like you
You trainin’ hoes to stay on go, I’m just like you
Get plenty women, plenty money, just like you
Bitch dressed in Fendi and designer just like you

Street nigga livin’ like he rap just like you
I put my family on the map just like you
Money, bitches, fame, made a name just like you
Smashin’ exotics for a hobby, I’m just like you

Hey, Smurk, all the kids rap, they wanna be just like you
Hey, Durk, my family hurt me, they did me just like you
Hey, Rapper, I know a street nigga live just like you
The name, the fame, the game, they just like you
