how it is is a statement on accepting how things are in life & putting myself first. all my life i put others ahead of me and this song is just a way of saying that i need to stop that, but at the same time, staying real to those i can trust, and those who i know have good intentions for me
ult...
[Verse 1]
Pull to the crib, tryna cop me a 50
Smokin' in the back, getting super high on 5th street
I remember when you used to tell me that you miss me
Nobody gon' give a fuck about me till I'm 6 deep
Tell me, who else is lyin' to my face?
Just a day ago, I was rockin' in my place
Now I'm on the road, temporarily escape
I ain't comin' home, baby, not today, nah
[Bridge]
I don't wanna break no more hearts
I don't wanna be a part of this
Don't wanna be a part of this
Baby, I don't wanna break no more hearts
I don't wanna be a part of this
Don't wanna be a part of this
[Chorus]
Baby, that's just how it is, that's just how it go
Every single night, I've been smokin' on this dope
Maybe that's just who I am, that's just how I roll
Savin' all my money just so I can have a show
Baby, that's just how it is, that's just how it go
Every single night, I've been smokin' on this dope
Maybe that's just who I am, that's just how I roll
Savin' all my money just so I can have a show
[Verse 2]
Baby, that's just how it is, that's just what I do, bitch, I'm Bruce Lee
Comin' from the hills where everything is always gloomy
Strugglin' to live, but I always stand on two feet
Came a long way from fuckin' on the groupies
Always stayin' ice cold to these hoes
Always stayin' tight, close with the bros
I don't care about no one else 'cause we don't need em, no we don't
Always actin' like my friend, but you a ghost, nah
[Bridge]
I don't wanna break no more hearts
I don't wanna be a part of this
Don't wanna be a part of this
Baby, I don't wanna break no more hearts
I don't wanna be a part of this
Don't wanna be a part of this
[Chorus]
Baby, that's just how it is, that's just how it go
Every single night, I've been smokin' on this dope
Maybe that's just who I am, that's just how I roll
Savin' all my money just so I can have a show
Baby, that's just how it is, that's just how it go
Every single night, I've been smokin' on this dope
Maybe that's just who I am, that's just how I roll
Savin' all my money just so I can have a show
