The Way it Goes

[Verse 1]
Rise from the ashes, reborn from the casket
My soul gold-plated, but the world wanna scratch it
Tarnish the rose on my gold
And I flip it into chrome just to double my profits
Gave that boy oregano to thicken my pockets
Type of shit you gotta do when you work with what you've got and
When you ain't got no deposits, runnin' red lights on ancient pussy, catch a fine ramen
'Cause we can't be eatin' healthy, shit too expensive, we got expenses
Incentives to send them kids to college, that's just the way it goes
That's broke boy economics
Rented Chevy Impala, gold wheels just shinin'
Momma tryin' to see her boys just smilin'
Dime in a dozen, that's the one that stuck up and from most of it made nothing
I'ma say that to my little girl, like repeat the words
These boys ain't shit, but bitches and tricks, with little dicks, tryna hit a lick on the clit
Okay I might add some censorship, but she gon' get the point
It's just the way it goes, baby girl, gotta stay on your toes
'Cause these motherfuckers hyenas and wolves
And, hey, I ain't no better, my boy Jay had the gun connector protector
I'm at his momma's crib and he ain't even have enough cheddar Here they kill you for your Gucci sweater
It's a shame that this the game, that shit ain't cool
Sane mayne turned insane, told to bottle his feelings
With bottles and spirits, and his past filled with demons
The champagne only come out when he screamin' "Fuck you"
Like my pops would do at my momma 'till she's tearin' up
Goin' crazy, now every man Dr. Huxtable
And if the allegations true, I'm glad my dad ain't use quaaludes
Parents divorced, family's torn

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just the way it goes, to ease the pain you pray to God or you fuck some hoes
It's just the way it goes, until you're daughter's old and she's on Bang Bros
Uh, It's just the way it goes, you go to work and come back to find a broken window
And wait, they ain't steal the PlayStation 4, just the PlayStation remote

[Chorus 1]
Uh, it's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goes, it's just the way it goes
Uh, it's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goes, it's just the way it goes
Uh, it's just the way it goes, save our souls
It's a Friday so take me to the malls, take me to the church
They go "Bang bang", ain't saw no thang, we just hurt

[Verse 2]
I'm fly with prose and statement, then the boy gets shot
In a barrage, them same men that had them .80s out
Then you're born and a baby gets taught
On how to do the right thing
Even though the right thing might not be the right thing
But sometimes you gotta do things when you can't buy things
To make it seem like it's just one king with diamonds rings
And it's only one queen coppin' shiny shit
The world so materialistic
While it's quits, quivering ligaments, 'till they bleed
Condiments to get criticized on television
In a country killing, oh but call it
'Cause we're all brothers and mother and He love us
But the money just to suffer
We're the image of looking tougher, our souls richer
Tryna split this shit 'to your soul sisters
To your school teachers, to your friend, calling you a preacher
And he saying "Stop complainin', like, fuck your people power shit"
The Devil said something like this "Stop playin'
Come be the Devil's advocate wake up and smell the bacon
See the prime is not for taking
Watch the throne but it's forsaken, by rich caucasians
That's just how the world was made
And you gon' see that 'cause you grown now
A year from graduating, you on your own now
It's less of a chance you gon' be a rapper nor a cash cow
You gon' marry up a white gown, because

[Chorus 2]
It's just the way it is, the way it is
It's just the way it is, the way it is
It's just the way it is, the way it is
Please don't be a bitch
It's just the way it is, the way it is
It's just the way it is, the way it is
It's just the way it is, the way it is"
I ain't gon' be shit
It's just the way it goes, the way it goes
It's just the way it goes, the way it goes
It's just the way it goes, the way it goes"
I know I can't fucking quit
It's just the way it goes, the way it goes
It's just the way it goes, the way it goes
It's just the way it goes, I know
Life is a miracle

[Bridge]
Who am I? Who are you?
What do we need to do?
To have no stress, to be the best
To have no stress, to be the best
Who am I? Who are you?
What do we need to do?
To have no stress, and be the best
To have no stress, and be the best
Who am I? Who are you?
What do we need to do?
To have no stress, and be the best
To live a life just like the rest

[Outro]
What do you do when you don't know how?
I was told you ain't supposed to know
What do you do when you don't know how?
I was told you ain't supposed to know
Just do you, but what if you don't know how to do you?
Just do you, but what if you don't know how to do you?

[Verse 3]
The influencers are all around me, the light glows dimmer than before
The canal is closed when they see you on Canal Street Road, kicking doors
They don't wanna hear your perspective, they see that that's enough of detective
Case closed, ain't no more second guessin', tell 'em no more inspectin'
Another lost soul, ain't nothin' new, man, get the spectrum
We gotta sell all young black males in scales
Palestenian children and poor whites in prison cells
By section 6, they the guns and chicken
The government's been finessin'
