Be Like That
Chasing Dreams: Unraveling the Depths of 'Be Like That' by Adam's Number
Lyrics
Baby why you gotta be like that
Questioning why the person is behaving in a particular way
See it like that
Encouraging the person to perceive things differently
Told you that I'd be right back
Assuring a return after leaving briefly
We can stay right here
Choice between staying in the current situation or making changes
Do the same old shit
Continuing the same routine
Or I can chase that bag
Opting to pursue financial success
We can just get rich
Suggesting the possibility of becoming wealthy
Yeah
Reinforcing the idea of attaining wealth
We can just get rich
-(Get rich)
Emphasizing the pursuit of financial gain and the abundance it brings
Let me get that bag
-(That bag)
-And we won't need shit
-(Need shit)
-We'll have everything
-Please tell me why you won't give into me
Asking for an explanation regarding the lack of cooperation
Baby why you gotta be like that
Reiterating the choice between staying or seeking financial success
See it like that
-Told you that I'd be right back
-We can stay right here
-Do the same old shit
-Or I can chase that bag
-We can just get rich
-Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Repetition for emphasis
Over the years
Reflecting on personal struggles, the pursuit of success, and internal conflicts
I been meddling in my temple
-The barrel tucked in the cradle
-The circle tight as my mental
-I've learned to get sentimental
-It speaks more to the people
-They want to hear what I been through
-Guess I just had to dig deeper
-The road to El Dorado
-See the money they follow
-Tell me it's tunnel vision
-I just see it as hollow
-Now I go back to the bottle
-That's no better
-I know better
-My soul fed up
-Got me sinking back to the bottom now
Continuation of the choice between staying or pursuing wealth
Baby why you gotta be like that
-See it like that
-Told you that I'd be right back
-We can stay right here
-Do the same old shit
-Or I can chase that bag
-We can just get rich
-Yeah
Indicating an undefined feeling or situation
Something
Expressing difficulty in perceiving something important despite its presence
Holds my I can barely breathe
-It's haunting
-In front of me
-I still can't see it
-Something
-Holds my I can barely breathe
-It's haunting
-In front of me
-I still can't see it
-Some how
-You still ain't come back to me
-Even though your
-In front of me I still can't see it
-Baby why you gotta be like that
Repeating the earlier questions and choices
See it like that
-Told you that I'd be right back
-We can stay right here
-Do the same old shit
-Or I can chase that bag
-We can just get rich
-Baby why you gotta be like that
-See it like that
-Told you that I'd be right back
-We can stay right here
-Do the same old shit
-Or I can chase that bag
-We can just get rich
-Yeah
Reiteration of the possibility of attaining wealth
