The Way It Is

Remember em nights we ain't had no heat, hot water, take cold showers

I'd sit inna dark, late night by myself, just thinkin, sad nigga hours

Was just a innocent lil kid, I used to be sweet, this life made me sour

Life been gettin outta hand, ain't no helpin hand, our cries gettin louder

Hella child abuse, I done grew up scarred, you know that shit made me cold

Am I gon do life or die in these streets, hope not, but only God knows

At 14 took me a L, and turned it to Lesson, If you know then you know

If you claim that's your brother and you really love him, better hold that nigga real close

I lost my brother, it fucked me up bad, at the time I wanted to go ghost (Tommy)

I was thuggin alone, aint want nobody close, I'm hurt, just lost my bro

Finna see waddup with the twins, like cmon blood, I'm ready to go

He talm bout it's slow, lil bro, fuck, SWAT outside his home
