Like Him
[Intro: Bonita Smith]
Damn, ni***, every time I look at you, I swear to God
Nigga, you got that ni*** feet
You got that ni*** body
You got that ni*** long arms, fingers and shit
Flat feet, big di—
[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]
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
[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
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)
[Post-Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
(La-la-la-la)
[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
Give me love and affection
Attention, protection (Go)
How could I ever miss a chance (Go)
That I never had?
I would nevеr judge ya
'Cause evеrything worked out without him (Like what?)
Like him (Like what?)
Like him
[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & Baby Keem]
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?)
[Post-Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
Like him
Like him
[Verse 3: Tyler, The Creator]
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 don't look like him (Like him)
[Outro: Bonita Smith]
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 there for you
And I'm sorry I was young, but he's always wanted to be a father to you
So I-I fuc*** 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
