How It Is

[Intro]
Staring at the ceiling
The first time I ever saw my daughter was a visit
Can't remember last time I seen my, It's been a minute
(Damn Spancy)

[Verse 1]
Picture me on that blue mattress, staring at the ceiling
The first time I ever saw my daughter was a visit
Can't remember last time I seen my bro, It's been a minute
In my gut I had that feeling, then nigga started squealing (Snitch)
It was killing, see guilty in my visions
Every night I prayed on praying matts, I pray that they acquit him
But they didn't
When nanny died it kept me in the prison
I was crying in the showers just so thеy can't see it dripping
How you my friend, you see my opps but you don't set (Huh?)
I see your opp, I take my shotty know I'd nеt it (Know I would)
When I got shot you changed a lot, but don't regret it (Don't)
When I got locked I hit the dock, I never sweated cause I'm solid
I been doing porridge I could never fold (Never)
You got my brother thirty years, I wish you never told (Snitch)
There ain't no love up in the air, it's feeling hella cold
I don't forgive, I won't forget I'll never let it go

[Chorus]
I see a nigga beat my mum in front of me when I was a kid
That's how it is, Hm-
I pray my son he don't be hearing bout them drillings that I did
That's how it is, Hm-
I'm on the run, I got these piggies keep on preeing at my crib
That's how it is, Hm-
Where I'm from they stab you up, but they still give you to the pigs
That's how it is

[Verse 2]
I see them piggies in the mist, I see them circling the crib (I see em)
It's certainly a myth when you go bursting at a snitch (Bow)
Free that nigga Natty man, It's dirty what they did
But you gotta be strategic, when they working with the pigs (For real)
Cah' they'll slap you on a vid, and then go stick you on the blogs
Shit is getting long and now you're sitting in the wok
Back and forth to court and now you're sitting in the dock
You probably thought she weren't a thot, but now your bitch is getting wok
I know dookie was a slider, now he showers in his socks
Ain't no tuna in his cell, but he got tuna in his sock
Half an hour for his visits, and the shit is getting stopped
He done a chinging in the shower, now it's chilling in the block
I know real is what is right, but realness gets you hurt (Hurt)
Take a look at ICE, we all know the street is cursed (Cursed)
When I was young, I see a lot
I know it could've been worse
I give a fuck about your feelings, fuck around I get you burst (Bap, bap, bap)

[Chorus]
I see a nigga beat my mum in front of me when I was a kid
That's how it is, Hm-
I pray my son he don't be hearing bout them drillings that I did
That's how it is, Hm-
I'm on the run, I got these piggies keep on preeing at my crib
That's how it is, Hm-
Where I'm from they stab you up, but they still give you to the pigs
That's how it is

[Outro]
I see a nigga beat my mum in front of me when I was a kid
That's how it is, Hm-
I pray my son he don't be hearing bout them drillings that I did
That's how it is, Hm-
