It Is What It Is |
| I been around the world once, had your fiancee twice |
| I ain’t nuthin' nice, but every lifestyle got a price |
| Kiss my momma on the cheek 'cause her love was deep |
| Like Keith Sweat, but the deeper the streets get |
| The deeper the beef get |
| Enough Fatal Attraction to boil your pet |
| 'Cause everybody wanna have it lavish |
| Now, courvoisier is my dossier overnight, inside |
| I write like six hundred thousand kilobytes |
| Yes I’m on one, European cars, Cuban cigars, rap stars |
| Glass ceilings to the inevitable cap peeling for sexual healing |
| I lack feeling, wrote it for black women like Terry McMillan |
| Save a prayer for me, I was told no guts no glory |
| I shed a tear once in a while, too |
| But a soldier gots to do what he gots to do |
| I want stock in Fox, coughin' with Rupert Murdoch, I thought you knew |
| It is what it is |
| Nowadays, that’s the way it is |
| Why do we do what we do when we do what we must, that’s |
| How it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up |
| It’s sad to say, but things just ain’t the same no more |
| Why do we do what we do when we do what we lust, it is |
| What it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up |
| If the pussy is free, then talk is cheap |
| Then again, it’s probably cheaper to keep her |
| Back in the days, all a nigga needed was suede pumas and a beeper |
| Now they all expecting condos, briquettes and pet cheetahs |
| See ya when I see ya |
| And by then I know the motives, she bogus |
| I noticed her jocking the rims on the Lotus |
| I learned early to trust God when moms was like |
| You need to swoosh your ass and get a job |
| My occupation be operation, more horsepower than Daytona |
| 'Cause I’m a Rider, like Winona |
| Being nice is a vice, the gift is naturally mine |
| That’s like +Grand Verbalizer+ not knowing the time |
| See, my partners commit crimes serving federal bids |
| Confined to a six by nine regrettin' the wrong shit he did |
| I swear, wishin' we was still little kids |
| But we grown men now homey, it is what it is |
| Nowadays, that’s the way it is |
| Why do we do what we do when we do what we must, that’s |
| How it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up |
| It’s sad to say, but things just ain’t the same no more |
| Why do we do what we do when we do what we lust, it is |
| What it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up |
| Hip Hop ain’t even fun |
| In these strange days, rappers is gettin' done |
| Like Jericho won |
| Within two months, two major artists got slumped |
| I whispered God rest the dead and let the Blaupunkt pump |
| Kept a part and a fade since about eleventh grade |
| Rock the Donna Karan shades |
| 'Cause I don’t like to dream about gettin' paid |
| But I’m afraid I do |
| Trying to organize a team, willing to empty magazines |
| This supreme fiends for CREAM |
| We need Jes, -us like Mary Magdalene and Born Again Christians |
| Ain’t a politician 'cause I already got your vote |
| True, I want your money but I ain’t a preacher no |
| I don’t even love the dough |
| But if you don’t work you don’t eat |
| So I want all I can get before I go |
| I love what money can get me |
| It’s elementary evidently, the custom convertible Bentley tempt me |
| It is what it is |
| Nowadays, that’s the way it is |
| Why do we do what we do when we do what we must, that’s |
| How it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up |
| It’s sad to say, but things just ain’t the same no more |
| Why do we do what we do when we do what we lust, it is |
| What it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up |
| There are things that we can change |
| Some things remain the same |
| That’s just the way it is |
| Way it goes, yeah |
| There are things that we can change |
| But most things gon' stay the same |
| It’s the way it is |
| You better believe it, ooh yeah |
