Like Him Tyler The Creator Lyrics
Damn, nigga, every time I look at you, I swear to God
Nigga, you got that nigga feet
You got that nigga body
You got that nigga long arms, fingers and shit
Flat feet, big di—
She said that I make expressions like him
My legs to my shoulders and my chin like him
My waist and my posture like him
Like him
Like him, like him, like him
Mama, I’m chasing a ghost
I don’t know who he is
Mama, I’m chasing a ghost
I don’t know where he is
Mama, I’m chasing a ghost
Do I look like him? (Like what?)
Like him (Like what?)
Like him (Like what?)
Like him (La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
Give me love and affection
Protection, protection (Go)
How could I ever miss a chance (Go)
That I never had?
I would never judge ya
‘Cause everything worked out without him (Like what?)
Like him (Like what?)
Like him
Mama, I’m chasing a ghost
I don’t know who he is
Mama, I’m chasing a ghost
I don’t know where he is
Mama, I’m chasing a ghost
Do I look (Huh?)
Like him
Like him
I decided to really get that love inside of you
I would never ever lie to you, yeah
You ain’t ever gotta lie to me
I’m everything that I strive to be
So do I look like him?
Do I look like him? (Like him, like him, like him, like him)
I look like him (Like him)
It was my fault, not yours, not his, it was my fault
I’m sorry
You know, it was my fault
Not him ’cause he always wanted to be that for him
And I’m sorry I was young, but he’s always wanted to be a father to him
So I-I fucked up and I take ownership of that, of my choices and decisions and I’m sorry for that
He’s a good guy
So don’t hold that against him because it was my fault
Just you know, forgive me
