It Is What It Is

Yeah, right when the percs hit (Uh huh)

Uh huh

Feeling strange man, that's not even the half of it

Wonder if I've changed or wonder if I'm masking it?

Asking bout me? Never wondering who's asking it

Cigarillo wrappers with the heat like we ain't packing shit

So we back pack through Belgium with a couple tablets

Just to find myself, knowing it'll never happen

It just happens like it is what it is

A couple months been tested, I been failing the quiz but

Dope dealer, cocaine sniffer

It seems you never grew up, the pain switch up

Unemployed, my job, figure out this void but

I fill it up with bullshit like I ain't got a choice

Something that I can't avoid like I do, pick and choose

Begging for some answers because I ain't got a clue (nah)

Out in Denver, getting higher than these rappers

New era kind of cappers make me madder than the hatter but I'm cool

I kind of wish that I would drop more

Bumping HOV in the park, need an encore

But I get anxious in a room full of lost souls

Double crossing, til they stop you at the crossroads

My mom sick, she been stronger than ever, the fam close when we huddle together

She tries to tell me I could make it through whatever but I tell her that I doubt it

'Cause my head is in the clouds Ma

Always smoking on that loud Ma

I just want to make you proud Ma

And every night I solve my problems with some old tobacco

Narrow down the issues, passing out within the shadows

I kind of wish these things didn't exist

Five fingers ain't as strong as a fist

Her heart cold, but not as cold as my wrists

I told pops that I been busy, all the calls that I missed

But I been lying, I was slipping, couldn't come to my grips

Throwing out all these excuses like I'm throwing a fit

Or getting thrown in a pit or getting thrown in a den

Getting stoned with a pen, getting rid of all these things that have been lost in my head (Aw)

I just need a little space to breathe, kaleidoscopes got me seeing what I want to see

Godfather asked if I talked to my dad, but if I did, he'd know I'm tryna make peace with my past but

Nah, I haven't made peace yet

Nah, I haven't made peace yet

God knows I need it, God knows I need you, He knows it's my weakness

It is what it is

Yeah, it is what it is

Yeah, it is what it is

Yeah, it is what it is

Yeah, it is what it is

I'm gonna miss you when you go

I'll miss you too, Ron

But you're wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from human relationships

God's placed it all around us

It's in everything

It's in anything we can experience

People just need to change the way they look at those things

I am

But I wanted to tell you something

When you forgive, you love

And when you love, God's light shines on you
