How it is

Never thought I’d make it how I did

Thought it’d look different when I was just a kid

Lost my family, so now it’s just me here

But that’s just how it is…

Yeah, it is what it is

⸻

You don’t want no problems

Young nicca and I’m wildin’

I been tryna keep it silent

But I promise, you don’t want no problems

⸻

Woke up this morning, talking like I ain’t shit

Almost cocked the gun back — yeah, I almost quit

But I lifted my head up, kept pushing through it

Got pain in my chest, but I still pursue it

They say I’m ignorant, bass heavy when I’m ridin’

Whip look like a spaceship — all black, glidin’

Call it black coffee, coffin vibes when I’m slidin’

But y’all still walkin’… so why y’all hatin’?

That shit be crazy, huh

Swear it don’t faze me, nah

⸻

Back to the topic — I know y’all can’t stand me

Like them statues on Easter Island — I ain’t hidin’

I’m right here in your face, screamin’ “Find me”

Fine then, I don’t care if y’all don’t sign me

⸻

You don’t want no problems

Young nicca and I’m wildin’

I’ve been through hell but I’m smilin’

Yeah, I promise — you don’t want no problems

⸻

I’ll make more on the road, runnin’ my own shows

You don’t know the weight I hold — just to get this dough

Lost my fam, had a kid — didn’t plan it like this

But now I grind for that crib, and acres to live

Took my fam off them main roads to the backwoods

Talkin’ land and peace — not just rap goods

Cash on demand, I need my advance in advance

I ain’t askin’ for a chance — I just mastered my stance

⸻

That’s just how it is

No fairytales or filters

I’m building something real

So my son don’t feel what I felt

That’s just how it is…

Yeah, it is what it is
