Lloyd Banks - Rather Be Me Lyrics
[Intro:]
The Unit...
Yeeaaaah...
There's a lotta things in this world you can be...
But I hate to be you nigga...
[Verse 1:]
Uh...
All it is is murders and burglars around my way
Poverty society climbing up every day
Honesty inside of me probably be what I say
I stay here too long it'd probably come my way
Fiends don't wanna go and get clean they want that yay
Run up on my mansion you runnin' up on the K
Tangueray mixed with that henny and Alize
Bitch niggaz holla my name it's all hate
Money bags and finger pointin' is all it takes
One more step and your steppin' into your fate
Wake up 'fore you can't wake up, you had your wake
Ain't nobody better than Blue and what he do
Fifty put me here, who I'm supposed to listen to
These niggaz is scared of The Unit I'm livin' proof
You ain't gotta like me or love me, I love you
[Chorus:]
If you ever lived a life of a G
Or seen half of the things that my eyes seen
You be just like me... Then you be just like me nigga...
If you ever lost something you loved
To a knife, a slug, or white drug
You be just like me... Then you be just like me nigga...
But if I had a heart of a fool
Which gives you the audacity to turn on your crew
I be just like you... Then I be just like you nigga...
If nuttin' outta my mouth was true
And I ain't have a clue and a cowards point of view
I be just like you... And I don't wanna be you nigga...
I rather be me...
[Verse 2:]
New York City is shitty but all I know
There ain't no way to shake it it follows me where I go
Find someone that doesn't acknowledge me for the flow
I can make another believer outta them yo
S-Five automobile that four do'
Boy it's jus' me and my toy, that fo' fo'
Rims pokin' outta my wheels as I peel
Ain't no use in givin' him grills you know the deal
Open up a can of whoop ass then hit the dash
Stick around and watch you take a loss as I laugh
Back on my grizzly who is he to come my way
Homie must be dizzy cause he can get done today
Beef is like a frizbee so throw it it's ok, stay
Low cause it can come back around any day, play
Games at your own risk cause I won't risk it all
Put my life in jeopardy just to ball...
[Chorus:]
If you ever lived a life of a G
Or seen half of the things that my eyes seen
You be just like me... Then you be just like me nigga...
If you ever lost something you loved
To a knife, a slug, or white drug
You be just like me... Then you be just like me nigga...
But if I had a heart of a fool
Which gives you the audacity to turn on your crew
I be just like you... Then I be just like you nigga...
If nuttin' outta my mouth was true
And I ain't have a clue and a cowards point of view
I be just like you... And I don't wanna be you nigga...
I rather be me...
[Outro:]
Some came some went...
And this how I vent...
G-Unit...

Lloyd Banks Rather Be Me Comments
2020 anyone?
2020 1/21
Arguably Banks' best song. Who woulda thought....G-Unit x A.R. Rahman!!! 🔥🔥🔥
It rather be me cause I wanna get out of the ghetto
Why isnt this on spotify???
Ironic his song title is 'Rather be ME' when he's used someone else's music to uphold his track.
Bombay theme , lol he ripped it off so perfectly
2020! Stil Here
Feens dont wanna get clean they want the yay!💯
Real hip hop died when Banks stopped making music.
When I heard this I think that’s when I really realized Banks was That Nigga! 💯
Underrated...
How the fuck this got slept on am just hearing this track in 2019 am disappointed in my slef 😭🔥 🔥 🔥
Still 2019
Just screwed Bombay Theme. Not syncing with the beats and its all over the place.
FALL 2019 WE HERE
Year 3000
Ain't nobody better then blue at what he do
35 people who disliked this should be banned from internet
The most underrated rapper in history. Would beat anyone lyrically any day of the week!

LYRICS!!!
The Unit
Yeah
There's a lotta things in this world you can be
But I hate to be you nigga
You're not true
[Verse 1:]
Uh...
All it is is murders and burglars around my way
Poverty society climbing up every day
Honesty inside of me probably be what I say
I stay here too long it'd probably come my way
Fiends don't wanna go and get clean they want that yay
Run up on my mansion you runnin' up on the K
Tangueray mixed with that henny and Alize
A hundred dollar bill though, petty, I'm 'bout my pay
Bitch niggas holla my name it's all hate
Money bags and finger pointin' is all it takes
One more step and your steppin' into your fate
Wake up 'fore you can't wake up, you had your wake
Ain't nobody better than Blue or what he do
Fifty put me here, who I'm supposed to listen to
These niggas is scared of The Unit I'm livin' proof
You ain't gotta like me or love me, I love you
[Hook:]
If you ever lived a life of a G
Or seen half of the things that my eyes seen
You be just like me
Then you be just like me nigga
If you ever lost something you loved
To a knife, a slug, or white drug
You be just like me
Then you be just like me nigga
But if I had a heart of a fool
Which gives you the audacity to turn on your crew
I be just like you
Then I be just like you nigga(A BIRD)
If nuttin' outta my mouth was true
And I ain't have a clue and a cowards point of view
I be just like you
And I don't wanna be you nigga
I rather be me
[Verse 2:]
New York City is shitty but all I know
There ain't no way to shake it it follows me where I go(go)
Find someone that doesn't acknowledge me for the flow
I can make another believer outta them yo
S-Five automobile that four do'
Boy it's jus' me and my toy, that fo' fo'
Rims pokin' outta my wheels as I peel
Ain't no use in givin' him grills you know the deal

साला copy करता है
So underrated, it's unbelievable.
Because it's plagiraised
Srijan Gupta tf u talking bout
@lou he's tryna say Banks stole the instrumental, not realising every genre take samples from every other genre.
Banks painted the canvas.
All bollywood does is copy others for their movies and music, one artist copies them and they blow up the comment section lmao!!
Mixtape Music AR Rahman isnt just Bollywood. He won an Oscar for probably his worst work to date with the Slumdog Soundtrack.
u completely missed the point...
@Mixtape Music bollywood does not copy songs bollywood basically copies movie scenes
This guy spoilt the soundtrack. Its painful to hear him.
Painful to read your comment
@Noble Walker so why are you reading it
G.O.A.T, don't give a fuck what y'all say.
Who's still listening to this in 2017 👍
11-11-18 Still sounds better than the first time heard this.
Real shit
🔥🔥🔥
Beezy Banks 2019 quit playing

BOMBAY THEME from the great A R RAHMAN!!!!
wow good ears im Indian and aint even know that...alot of hip hop sampled bollywood
*COPIED*COPIED*
Bombay Theme Music By A.R. Rehman - Year 1995
But it's good too.
Sampled, not copied. Big difference.
Absolutely!!
Banks this flow you're unstoppable bro!!! #PLK #BLUE
Music copied from 2 time oscar winner A R Rahman bombay theme music
Anil Thomson it's called sampling.
i forgot all about this song.
and the beat is so amazing.
Bombay Theme by A R Rahman
Lloyd is deep.
That's an understatement
COPIED!!
Search for "Bombay theme music". You'll find the original song of this from which this song is copied.
@Lil: Bombay was released on 1995. :)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112553/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_%28soundtrack%29
Bombay theme is at least a decade old
Thank You! always wondered where that sample was from.
Correct:
*Bombay Theme : 1995
Lloyd Banks - Rather Be Me : 2009
;)
1995 u idiot!

One of my favorite tracks

Lloyd Banks is THE best in tough with the street rapper bar none. His lyrics show how much he knows, where's he's been and he's the most underrated rapper around IMO.
He's a copycat
greatest of all time, blocking out everyone else forever. p dot l dot k 80sbaby
Banks is one of the greatest in my books .
one more step and you steppin into your fate, wake up before you can't wake up, you at your wake.

watch?v=pGvU4fdVb-w
Fuck buck unloyal bitch ass!he got rich then turned his back on gunit.now he broke damn fool!
Theres no song out realer than this shit...
@Geforcefxxxf HE DOES HAVE A MILLIE AHHH SEEE IM FUNNY ish
Banks BODIED this...Sean Bond went in on this too
Oh this is like sampling ar rahman and 50sent
@JxAttack search for Bombay Theme by AR Rahman (Indian Composer)
The tune that forms the back-bone of this song is the 'Bomay Theme' composed by the Indian musical genius A R Rahman for a movie titled Bombay (1995).
This sampling is not bad, but I prefer the original for its haunting effect. The tune is so fresh despite years that have passed by since A R Rahman first composed it.
... and ain't nobody better than Blue at what he do, 50 put me there, who i 'posed to listen to?
Search for "Bombay Theme" in Youtube ... U ll get the Original Song by AR Rahman which is used by Llyod Banks here ...... This is Rubbish compared with the Original .... But I respect Banks who sampled an Old ARR composition .....
definitely a ill song banks is really coming up strong!
I'm going to rape the replay bottem this is de SHIT!
my favorite song! he got point!
nobody better than blue and what he do
