The Way It Is

At night I'm with the pistol packing smokers out in open

By day I'm with the ties and penny loafer stock brokers

Expanded my horizons cause I tried it and I liked it

Smoking on that Holyfield cause to the ears I'm so enticing

See me in preme tee and I lamp just like a genie

My I feel like Jeezy flow so frozen that's how ski be

Swearing in that ghost I lost my soul don't need Ouija

I wanna clean my act up and do good they don't believe me

What you say to somebody who don't give a shit

Educated at the same time gets ignorant

The struggle that the news be talkin bout I'm living it

You watch me starve fuck around me with that you my **** shit

Eight to four **** nine to five ten to six

That's how I'm getting it

So on the weekends I drank till I'm belligerent

You know just to ease this trauma that I'm dealing with

That's real **** shit

I drank I did

I smoked I did

I'm high I is

It's not that serious

Let's toast let's cheer

To the way we live

That's just the way it is

Whatever I think I'm is

That's what I'm is

So if I did

Speak negative

I know that shit

Stay the way it is

And yo that's just no way to live

They say I got it all though it might seem small

I'm fighting all my demons and they 8 feet tall

If we talkin art I might be Warhol

My life's an open book but I'm so closed off

They say accept me for me but to me seems wrongs

To repeat the same mistakes and don't fix yo flaws

If I want change gotta be the cause

I write what I feel and not just because

My **** corporate slaving unfair waging got us caged in

But on the Instagram everybody life is so amazing

The church been saying amen

Where's he's at to do the saving

**** I was penny scraping bet the pastor don't miss payments

Yeah but let my granny tell it these the offerings the reason why yo family healthy

But how you feel knowing that yo family ain't so wealthy

Every year another ones out the pic till it is a selfie

Deep down somewhere inside I'm screaming please help me

I'm making peanuts watching them get bread keeps me jelly

I gotta speak that to existence cause my speech propels me

But these vices I relinquish to is underwhelming

Cause

I drank I did

I smoked I did

I'm high I is

It's not that serious

Let's toast let's cheer

To the way we live

That's just the way it is

Whatever I think I'm is

That's what I'm is

So if I did

Speak negative

I know that shit

Stay the way it is

And yo that's just no way to live

I gotta spend less time doing

Things that I mind doing

Things I don't like doing

I'm just watching time moving

Then wonder why I'm losing

Yeah lemme say this shit one more time

I gotta spend less time doing

Shit that I mind doing

Things I don't like doing

I'm just watching time moving

Then wonder why I'm losing

Yeah yeah yeah cause

I drank I did

I smoked I did

I'm high I is

It's not that serious

Let's toast let's cheer

To the way we live

That's just the way it is

Whatever I think I'm is

That's what I'm is

So if I did

Speak negative

I know that shit

Stay the way it is

And yo that's just no way to live
