ABELA - What is it Like Lyrics

What is it like to be someone
Do you know what it's like to be no one
What is it like to be up there
You write your own rules
Don't have to play it fair
When do you count as a person
When have you reached the horizon
When can you be you in front of others
Life's easier for the brothers
But I'm so tired of this
Why you f*ck up that shit
You think you're free to decide
Who gets to own their pride
I ask you
What is it like
To be you
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
What is it like to go home at night
Without your keys in your hand
Ready to fight
Why you think you can decide for us
Why do you get defensive,
Just wanna' discuss
Defending your brother
Saying it's not fair
With your mouth full of words
That are thin as air
What if it was me
Turning the tables
Would you say that
I shouldn't be able
Just throw your money
Even though you say it's filthy
You can snap your fingers
Call your friends
Then you're not guilty
(Try my lens get yourself some perspective)
So tell me what is it like
To be you
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
I ask you what is it like
What is it like to shame others
For a crime you did yourself
To someone's mother
King of the world
Calling us objects
Paying for my body
But would never confess
(never confess)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
I ask you what is it like
(What is it like, what is it like)
What is it like to be someone
What is it like to be no one
What is it like to be addicted
What is it like to be convicted
