Well I woke up late, I'm runnin' tardy
I was actin' a fool last week at Kilby Block
New girl at the crib and Dar' was pullin' up
Said I need a second homie go ahead and spin the block
Yeah I race against time uh huh, my clocks wise
Facetime interview, fool said I'm in my prime
But my ladders got steps so still I need to climb
That shit's just the way it is man, I never ask why, like
Woke up late, I think I missed my bus
Mouth dry, bleary eyed inside the crackhouse
New beat on my phone, notes app pulled up
Write a bunch of shit about how I can't back down
And my siblings might cry, well so will I
They get pissed at all this shit, and well so do I
But my stairs got steps so still I need to climb
That shit's just the way it is, I never ask why, like
New shit just dropped and now my life's a party
Celebrating every win like it's gonna be my last
So hard on myself when it starts to slow down
Saying look at what you did, but that shit is in the past
And my dreams might die, and well so will I
But we might do some shit, it's just a matter of time
So I'm staring at that sun 'til I start to go blind
That shit's just the way it is, there's no need to ask why, like
