Be’s Like Dat Lyrics

Verse 1:
Follow me to the mountaintop
A little journey in a place where the fountain’s fly
Everybody gotta go up and eventually see
The place that we supposed to be close to me
It’s the nonbelievers who do not believe us
Telling me they really doubt that it’s God who leads us
It is not prophecy it is merely rap
In rap there’s no profit we can’t go back
It’s a scandal that’s the reason Jesus died
Put him on the cross saying he had lied
Jesus, why the priests and scribe gotta prevail?
Is it because of the way the world loves self?
Is it because of the way the world loves wealth?
Putting materialism over everything else?
I didn’t mean to preach in this rhyme
But it be’s like that sometimes
Everybody go

Refrain:
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Be’s like that sometimes

Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Be’s like that sometimes

Verse 2:
Sometimes I don’t feel like kickin’ a verse
I feel like kickin’ the minister that be pimpin’ the church
Not in general ‘cause not every minister is a crook
Similarly not everybody who got a book
Is a theologian or a Bible scholar
Thus trade knowledge for dollars holler
In college everybody talk education
Ain’t nobody talkin’ ‘bout meditation
Impatient educators’ll grade your thesis
That’s where you think you gon’ raise a genius?
When they teach memorization is the way
And they basically hate on any form of thinking
Rich kids get a quick degree
Even with a history of frickin’ Ds
Even the dean got a bottom line
And it be’s like that sometimes
Everybody go

Refrain:
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Be’s like that sometimes

Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Be’s like that sometimes

Verse 3:
Sometimes I really wanna run
Sometimes I really wanna go and get a gun
And find those who took the phoenix [?] sun
Then I realize only more brothers done
I don’t wanna add hate to hate
We should hate to hate
And hate hate in the first place
Didn’t you learn a thing from the brother King?
Never send for who the bell tolls
It tolls for thee so right now, right now
Right now right now
Show a little love inside
I said right now, right now
Right now right now
Let it be like that sometimes
Everybody go

Refrain:
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Be’s like that sometimes

Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Said it be’s like
Don’t it be like that
Be’s like that sometimes

Yeah, this is a celebration y’all dedicated to the memory of Dr. Nina Simone, O’hene-1
