The Way It Goes

[Intro]
(Nonstop)

[Chorus]
That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
It was all good just a day ago
Whole hood gettin' high, I'm just layin' low
Blood in my eyes, think I'm seein' red
Watch who you trust, it might be the feds
I thank God, I know we are blessed
Can't let 'em R.I.P. me to death, yeah

[Verse 1]
To have this shit I got, they'd pay a king's ransom
Bitches choosin' like they never seen handsome (Him)
This shit got people hating on a nigga, facts
Old partners fakin' on a nigga, uh
How you win and keep the love they gave you back then?
Before I buttered up this jumper with the backspin
Or I pullеd up off the lot in Maybach Benz
Now I'm elitе at all the shit I used to lack then (You feel me?)
I'm really poppin' like, closin' on a billi', bruh, we not alike (Not)
I was fundin' shit for real, they said I'm out of sight
Went through the dark by my lonely and brought a lot of light (Light)
I do it all on the strength, I got a lot of might
Yeah, hah, ayy, that's just the way it goes (Just the way it goes)
God's biggest test always for His greatest soldiers (For the greats)
Told me kick rocks, I had to go and make a sculpture
Tried to play me to the left and I played it kosher

[Chorus]
That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
It was all good just a day ago
Whole hood gettin' high, I'm just layin' low
Blood in my eyes, think I'm seein' red
Watch who you trust, it might be the feds
I thank God, I know we are blessed
Can't let 'em R.I.P. me to death, yeah

[Verse 2]
I feed 'em with a slingshot
Never know who just might pull up with a green dot
Wanna see a nigga self-esteem drop
But when I'm humbled, I show why I'm really cream of crop, different
Been anointed since an infant
It was love when I started, then it was distance
I tried to tackle some issues and got resistance (Facts)
Been getting lifted and finding peace with forgiveness, I'm shifting, uh
I know the gifts I got ain't just for me (Just for me)
The greatest quote from pops, he told me love for free (Pops)
It's a blessing how we live this life of luxury (The finest)
But success also a burden, guess it sucks for me
Lost some real ones on the ride, I let balloons fly (Fly)
Couple tears falling with this moonshine, ayy
Got me loaded, all up in my feelings
It's a real uphill workin' on my healing, you feel it

[Chorus]
That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
It was all good just a day ago
Whole hood gettin' high, I'm just layin' low
Blood in my eyes, think I'm seein' red
Watch who you trust, it might be the feds
I thank God, I know we are blessed
Can't let 'em R.I.P. me to death, yeah

[Outro]
Yeah, that's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
It was all good just a day ago
Whole hood gettin' high, I'm just layin' low
Blood in my eyes, think I'm seein' red
Watch who you trust, it might be the feds
I thank God, I know we are blessed
Can't let 'em R.I.P. me to death, yeah
